[Om-announce] CICM 2011: 2nd Call for Papers, Systems & Projects Track

[Professor James Davenport]

Second Call for Papers, including NEW Systems and Projects track

Conference on Intelligent Computer Mathematics (CICM)

Bertinoro, Forli (Italy), 18-23 July 2011

http://cicm11.cs.unibo.it

Track A: Mathematical Knowledge Management (MKM)

Track B: Calculemus

Track C: Systems & Projects

In addition to the formal tracks above, CICM has historically had
associated workshops, and workshop proposals should be sent to the CICM PC
Chair (J.H.Davenport at bath.ac.uk), DEFINITELY by the end of February 2011.

Mathematical Knowledge Management is an innovative field at the
intersection of mathematics, computer science, library science, and
scientific publishing. Its development is driven, on the one hand, by new
technological possibilities which computer science, the Internet, and
intelligent knowledge processing offer, and, on the other hand, by the
increasing demand by engineers and scientists for new techniques to help
in producing, transmitting, consuming, and managing sophisticated
mathematical knowledge.


Calculemus is a series of conferences dedicated to the integration of
computer algebra systems (CAS) and systems for mechanised reasoning, the
interactive theorem provers or proof assistants (PA) and the automated
theorem provers (ATP). Currently, symbolic computation is divided into
several (more or less) independent branches: traditional ones (e.g.,
computer algebra and mechanised reasoning) as well as newly emerging ones
(on user interfaces, knowledge management, theory exploration, etc.) The
main concern of the Calculemus community is to bring these developments
together in order to facilitate the theory, design, and implementation of
integrated systems for computer mathematics that will routinely be used by
mathematicians, computer scientists and engineers in their every day
business.

Common to MKM and Calculemus is a need for these theories to be developed
in systems and projects, hence there will also be a "Systems and Projects"
track, designed to enable people to showcase their systems and projects.

After successfully colocating as the Conference of Intelligent Computer
Mathematics (CICM), MKM and Calculemus will formally join for CICM 2011.
CICM seeks original high-quality submissions in their tracks and the
"Systems and Projects" track. The topics of interest include but are not
limited to:



** MKM track **



    * Representations of mathematical knowledge

    * Repositories of formalized mathematics

    * Mathematical digital libraries

    * Diagrammatic representations

    * Multi-modal representations

    * Mathematical search and retrieval

    * Deduction systems

    * Math assistants, tutoring and assessment systems

    * Authoring languages and tools

    * MathML, OpenMath, and other mathematical content standards

    * Web presentation of mathematics

** Calculemus track **



    * Theorem proving in computer algebra (CAS)

    * Computer algebra in theorem proving (PA and ATP)

    * Case studies and applications that both involve computer algebra and
mechanised reasoning

    * Representation of mathematics in computer algebra

    * Adding computational capabilities to PA and ATP

    * Formal methods requiring mixed computing and proving

    * Combining methods of symbolic computation and formal deduction

    * Mathematical computation in PA and ATP

    * Theory, design and implementation of interdisciplinary systems for
computer mathematics

    * Theory exploration techniques

    * Input languages, programming languages, types and constraint
languages, and modeling languages for mechanised mathematics systems
(PA, CAS, and ATP).

    * Infrastructure for mathematical services


Papers on other topics closely related to the above research areas will
also be welcomed for consideration.



***** Submission *****


CICM seeks both formal and work-in-progress submissions.

Formal submissions must not exceed 15 pages and will be reviewed by blind
peer review and evaluated regarding to relevance, clarity, quality,
originality, and impact. Shorter papers, e.g., for system descriptions,
are welcome. Authors will have an opportunity to respond to their papers'
reviews before the programme committee makes a decision.

Selected formal submissions will be published as a volume in the series
Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) by Springer-Verlag. In
addition to these formal proceedings, authors are permitted and encouraged
to publish the final versions of their papers on arXiv.org.

Work-in-progress submissions are intended to provide a forum for the
presentation of original work that is not (yet) in a suitable form for
submission as a full or system description paper. This includes work in
progress and emerging trends. Their size is not limited, but we recommend
5 - 10 pages.

The programme committee may offers authors of rejected formal submission
to publish as an work-in-progress submission instead. Depending on the
number of work-in-progress papers accepted, presentation may be as a short
talk or as a poster. The work-in-progress proceedings will be published as
a technical report.

The Systems and Projects track requires an abstract, with appropriate
references and links to on-line materials/demonstrations, of at most two
pages.

All papers should be prepared in LaTeX and formatted according to the
requirements of the Springer's LNCS series (the corresponding style files
can be downloaded from http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). By
submitting a paper the authors agree that if it is accepted at least one
of the authors will attend the conference to present it.
