			Preliminary Announcement 
				   and
                             Call for Papers


Mathematical Knowledge Management is an exciting new field in the 
intersection of mathematics and computer science. 

We need efficient, new techniques - based on sophisticated formal 
mathematics and software technology - for taking fruit of the enormous 
knowledge available in current mathematical sources and for organizing 
mathematical knowledge in a new way. On the other side, due its
very nature, the realm of mathematical information looks as the best 
candidate for testing innovative theoretical and technological solutions 
for content-based systems, interoperability, management of machine 
understandable information, and the Semantic Web.

The Conference aims to bring together math researchers, software 
developers, publishing companies, math organizations, and teachers for 
exchanging their views and approaches and for pushing the field. 

Call for papers.

The Conference looks for original contributions on theoretical,
technological and pragmatical aspects of mathematical knowledge 
management. Papers focused on system/projects descriptions and comparison, 
standardization efforts, critical surveys, large experimentations, 
and case studies of mathematical knowledge management are particularly 
welcome. A not exhaustive list of topics (to be understood as specialized
to the realm of MATHEMATICAL information) comprises:

Authoring languages and tools	MathML and XML based standards
Computer Algebra Systems	Metadata
Data Mining			Theorem Proving
Digital Libraries		Proof Assistants	
Interactive learning		Searching and Retrieving
Interoperability		Web Publishing

Proceedings
The proceedings of the Conference will be published in the Springer-Verlag
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html). 

Submission
Paper submission will be electronic. The deadline for submissions is 
september 1st, 2002. Papers should not exceed twelve pages and should
be edited according to the Authors Instructions of LNCS 
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html)
Since LNCS is also published, in parallel to the printed books, 
in full-text electronic version, authors will be required to send,
besides the printed papers, the electronic source files of all parts 
of the manuscript (including front matter pages) as adviced in the 
instructions.

Location
The Conference will be held in the Residential Centre of the University
of Bologna located in Bertinoro (http://www.centrocongressibertinoro.it/). 
Bertinoro is a nice little place on the Appennini, at about one hour train 
from Bologna.
