Final Call for Papers
--------------------------

                       SYNASC 2016

              18th International Symposium on
   Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing
         September 24-27, 2016, Timisoara, Romania
               http://synasc.ro/2016

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.

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).
    * Short papers, describing work in progress and/or preliminary results

    * Posters, describing ongoing work and research challenges of PhD
students (up to 2 pages in the two-columns paper style).
