First Call for Papers
---------------------
                       SYNASC 2017
              19th International Symposium on
     Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing
           September 21-24, 2017, Timisoara, Romania
               http://synasc.ro/2017
In honor of Professor Stefan Maruster’s 80th birthday, of Professor Bruno
Buchberger’s 75th birthday and of Professor Tetsuo Ida’s 70th birthday
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.

Submission
-----------
Submissions of research papers are invited. The papers must contain
original research results not submitted and not published elsewhere.
The submission process consists of two steps.
    * In the first step the authors are invited to express their intention
to participate at the conference by registering the title and a tentative
abstract (1/2 page, at maximum) of their paper.
    * In the second step the authors should submit the full paper.
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).
    * Short papers, describing work in progress 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=synasc2017.

Special sessions, workshops and tutorials
----------------------------------------------------
Proposals are also invited for:
    * special sessions
    * satellite workshops
    * tutorials

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.
