First Call for Papers
SYNASC 2018
20th International Symposium on
Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing
September 20-23, 2018, Timisoara, Romania
http://synasc.ro/2018
============================================================
=== Aim ===
SYNASC aims to stimulate the interaction between the two scientific communities
of symbolic and numeric computing and to exhibit interesting applications of the
areas both in theory and in practice. The choice of the topic is motivated by
the belief of the organizers that the dialogue between the two communities is
very necessary for accelerating the progress in making the computer a truly
intelligent aid for mathematicians and engineers.
In this context we invite for:
* research paper submissions
* special session proposals
* satellite workshop proposals
* tutorial proposals
=== Important Dates ===
1 March 2018 : Proposals for workshops, special sessions, tutorials
22 April 2018 : Paper submission for main tracks
15 July 2018 : Notification of acceptance
01 September 2018 : Registration
01 September 2018 : Revised papers according to the reviews
20-23 September 2018 : Symposium
30 November 2018 : Final papers for post-proceedings
=== Invited Speakers ===
(to be extended)
Edwin Lughofer, Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria
David Monniaux, University of Grenoble, France

resources and networks, semantic representation, negotiation, social networks,
trace management, simulators
+ any other topic deemed relevant to the field
* Advances in the Theory of Computing
+ data structures and algorithms
+ combinatorial optimization
+ formal languages and combinatorics on words
+ graph-theoretic and combinatorial methods in computer science
+ algorithmic paradigms, including distributed, online,
approximation, probabilistic, game-theoretic algorithms
+ computational complexity theory, including structural complexity, boolean

+ aspects of computability theory, including computability in
analysis and algorithmic information theory
+ proof complexity

+ new computational paradigms: CNN computing, quantum,
holographic and other non-standard approaches to computability
+ randomized methods, random graphs, threshold phenomena and
typical-case complexity

relation to formal verification methods such as model
checking and runtime verification
+ applications of theory, including wireless and sensor networks,
computational biology and computational economics
+ experimental algorithmics
This list is not intended to be exhaustive.
=== Research Papers ===
Submitted research papers must contain original research results not submitted
and not published elsewhere.
There are four categories of submissions:
* Regular papers describing fully completed research results (up to 8 pages
in the two-columns paper style).
* System descriptions and experimental papers describing implementation
results of experimental data, with a link to the reported results (up to 4
pages in the two-columns paper style).
* Work in progress papers, describing ongoing work and/or preliminary
results (up to 4 pages in the two-columns paper style).
* Posters, describing ongoing work and research challenges of PhD students
(up to 2 pages in the two-columns paper style).
Both the abstract and the full paper should be submitted electronically through
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=synasc2018.
Research papers that are accepted and presented at the symposium will be
collected as post-proceedings published by Conference Publishing Service
(CPS) (included in IEEE Xplore) and will be submitted for indexing in ISI Web
of Science, DBLP, SCOPUS.
Extended versions of the selected papers published in post-proceedings will be
considered to be published as special issues in international journals (e.g. Soft
Computing Journal, Scalable Computing: Practice and Experience etc.)
=== Special Sessions ===
Proposals are invited for special sessions on any topic relevant to the conference.
Special sessions are intended to stimulate in-depth discussions in special areas
and they are fully integrated into the main conference. The research papers and the
informal presentations submitted and accepted for the special sessions follow the
same rules as the papers submitted to the regular sessions. It is expected that the
organizers of the special sessions appoint their own chair and program committee,
which will be integrated in the conference program committee and will be supervised
by the conference program chair and by the general chair.
=== Workshops ===
Proposals for satellite workshops are also invited. The satellite workshops should
have topics related to SYNASC but the scientific program of each satellite workshop
is managed by the workshop organizers. Authors contributing to a workshop would be
required to register for the symposium. All papers accepted at workshops will be
included in the local electronic pre-proceedings and the best presented papers will
be included in the post-proceedings published by Conference Publishing Services.
=== Tutorials ===
Proposals for tutorials are also invited. Tutorials provide fundamental exposure
to topics ranging from introductory through intermediate to advanced. The number
and the duration of the tutorials will be decided by the tutorial chair under the
supervision of the general chair. Depending on the number and the quality of the
proposals for tutorials, they may be organized as a SYNASC Autumn School.
