algorithms.  Simplification,  function manipulation, summation, integration,
polynomial / differential / difference  equations,  linear  algebra,  number
theory, group and invariant theory, geometric computing.

Computer  Science:  Theoretical   and   practical   problems   in   symbolic
computation.  Systems,  problem  solving  environments,   user   interfaces,
software,   libraries, parallel / distributed   computing  and   programming
languages,  concrete  analysis, benchmarking,  theoretical   and   practical
complexity, automatic differentiation, code  generation,  mathematical  data
structures and exchange protocols.

Applications:  Problem treatments using  algebraic,  symbolic  or  symbolic-
numeric computation in an essential or a novel way.  Engineering,  economics
and finance, physical  and  biological  sciences,  computer science,  logic,
mathematics and education.
