Second 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
* tutorial proposals
=== Important Dates ===
30 May 2018 : Paper submission for main tracks (new deadline)
24 June 2018 : Paper submission for workshops
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 ===
Olivier Bournez, Ecole Politechnique, France
Tetsuo Ida, University of Tsukuba, Japan
Dorel Lucanu, University Alexandru Ioan Cuza, Iasi, Romania
Edwin Lughofer, Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria
David Monniaux, University of Grenoble, France
Andrei Voronkov, University of Manchester, UK

=== 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.)
