FLoC'99 Workshop W7


CALCULEMUS: Systems for Integrated Computation and Deduction
11-12 July 1999, Trento - Italy

Contents of this page

Scope of the workshop

Both Deduction Systems and Computer Algebra Systems are receiving growing attention from industry and academia. On the one hand, Mathematical Software Systems have been commercially very successful. Their use is now wide-spread in industry, education, and scientific contexts. On the other hand, the use of formal methods in hardware and software development has made Deduction Systems indispensable not least because of the complexity and sheer size of the reasoning tasks involved. In spite of these successes there is still need for improvement as many application domains still fall outside the scope of existing Deduction Systems and Computer Algebra Systems. The workshop is intended for researchers and developers interested in combining the reasoning capabilities of Deduction Systems and the computational power of CASs.

Topics of interest

Topics of interest for the workshop include all aspects related to the combination of deduction systems and computer algebra systems. The emphasis of this year's workshop will be on whether existing systems and technologies can be integrated as they stand or if a fundamental redesign will be necessary. Contributions addressing this specific problem will be considered of special interest. We also explicitly encourage submissions of results from applications and case studies where such an integration results particularly important.

Format of the Workshop

The workshop will feature invited talks, contributed presentations with ample time for discussion, and a panel. Consistent with the workshop format, we expect and encourage contributed talks to present work in progress, rather than polished final results.

Invited speakers

Submission guidelines

Authors are invited to submit papers in the following categories:

Researchers interested in attending the workshop without giving a talk may send a position paper of 1-2 pages describing their interest in the mentioned topics.

Submissions should be prepared with a font size not smaller than 11pt. The first page should contain the title, authors, e-mail, and postal addresses of the authors. All submissions should be sent to the organizing and programme committee (calculemus99@dist.unige.it) in postscript format by March 28, 1999.

The submission deadline is March 28, 1999. Decisions on acceptance will be sent by April 26, 1999. The deadline for sending the final versions is June 5, 1999.

Authors of accepted extended abstracts and system descriptions are expected to present their contribution at the workshop. Attendance is by invitation only, based on the received submissions.

Publication

The workshop proceedings will be published as a volume in the RISC technical report series. A copy of the proceedings will be available at the workshop and on the workshop web page. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to submit a full version, which will again be refereed. The selected papers and the resume` of the panel will be published later as a special issue of the Journal of Symbolic Computation.
