I've been to a fair number of the ISSAC conferences going back into the late 80s. I'd characterize the attendees as the group of people who have developed computational mathematics algorithms. The whole proceedings from 2007 is algorithms of one sort or other. Most of these people have developed a CAS or used a CAS as their primary platform, although by looking at the 2007 papers it is not clear where some of the work was done, but some are quite specific, as in: Jeffery-Hamel Flow with Maple Paul Zimmermann had a paper that used C++ and GMP. Jacob Smith, Gaby Dos Reis and Jaakko Jarvi used Axiom. In general, I don't see reference to the systems or the source code that was used to do the research. As you might guess, I find this flaw to be pretty fundamental. If most of the work were done in Sage, perhaps the "standards of publication" might change.
