The special issue is related to topics discussed in the context of the ISSAC-2000 symposium and the CALCULEMUS-2000 symposium in August 2000 in St Andrews, Scotland. We invite any work that substantially extends ideas and topics presented in St Andrews.
Typical ISSAC-2000 relevant topics are:
CALCULEMUS-2000 relevant topics include all aspects related to the combination of deduction systems and computer algebra systems. We also explicitly encourage submissions of results from applications and case studies where such an integration proves particularly important. Typical topics are:
- Algorithmic mathematics: Algebraic, symbolic, and symbolic-numeric algorithms including: simplification, polynomial and rational function manipulations, algebraic equations, summation and recurrence equations, integration and differential equations, linear algebra, number theory, group computations, and geometric computing.
- Computer science: Theoretical and practical problems in symbolic mathematical manipulation including: computer algebra systems, data structures, computational complexity, problem solving environments, programming languages and libraries for symbolic-numeric-geometric computation, user interfaces, visualization, software architectures, parallel or distributed computing, mapping algorithms to architectures, analysis and benchmarking, automatic differentiation and code generation, automatic theorem proving, mathematical data exchange protocols.
- Applications: Problem treatments incorporating algebraic, symbolic, symbolic-numeric and geometric computation in an essential or novel way, including engineering, economics and finance, architecture, physical and biological sciences, computer sciences, logic, mathematics, statistics, and uses in education.
Prospective contributors are warmly invited to contact the guest editors to discuss the suitability of topics and papers.
- Integration/combination of computer algebra systems/algorithms and deduction systems (either automated theorem provers, or proof-development systems)
- Incorporation of deduction techniques in computer algebra
- Incorporation of computer algebra techniques in deduction
ISSAC-related papers must be submitted to Tomás Recio, CALCULEMUS-related papers to Manfred Kerber. For submissions please follow the instructions provided at http://www.academicpress.com/www/journal/TeX-uk/LaTeXFP.htm.
Electronic submissions are strongly encouraged, and may be sent as one e-mail (MIME attachments are allowed). The message should contain (i) the abstract in ASCII and (ii) the whole paper in Postscript. The Postscript form must be interpretable by Ghostscript, and must use standard fonts, or include the necessary fonts. Authors who cannot meet these requirements should submit 5 hard copies by post instead.
All submitted papers will be refereed according to the usual JSC refereeing process.
To aid planning and organization, we would appreciate an email of intent to submit a paper (including author information, a tentative title and abstract, and an estimated number of pages) as early as possible.
