[Forwarded since this might be of interest to Haskellites. Papers on f.p. are definitely welcome! KH] Dear colleague, we think that you might be interested in either contributing a paper to or in attending the second international ACM symposium on Parallel Symbolic Computation (PASCO'97) July 20 to July 22, 1997 Aston Wailea Resort, Maui, Hawaii (near Maui Super Computer Center) The conference is sponsored by ACM and the proceedings will be published by the ACM press. Many execellent papers chosen from the proceedings of the first symposium have been also published as a special issue of Journal of Symbolic Computation (http://www.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/people/hhong/jsc-pasco/main.html). This year, the conference will take place in federation with ISSAC'97 and IMACS-ACA'97. Please, take a look at our CFP and visit our site on the WWW for more information. If you know of other interested researchers in the area of parallel symbolic computation, please pass on the news. Best regards from the PASCO'97 program committee. =========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS PASCO'97 Second International Symposium Parallel Symbolic Computation July 20 - 22, 1997 Aston Wailea Resort, Maui, Hawaii, USA =========================================================================== The Second International Symposium on Parallel Symbolic Computation (PASCO'97) seeks papers presenting original research on all aspects of high performance symbolic computation. High performance is meant as pertaining to the solution of large problems by means of parallel, distributed, multi-processor, or networked computers. Typical, but not exclusive topics of interest include: - high performance parallel algebraic computation, - high performance combined symbolic/numeric methods - high performance combinatorial and discrete methods, - high preformance automatic theorem proving, - design of high performance symbolic, functional, and constraint/logic languages and systems, - symbolic solution of applications problems in mathematics, science, and engineering by high performance means. Sponsors -------- SIGSAM ACM SIG Symbolic Manipulation SIGNUM ACM SIG Numerical Mathematics Meeting Format -------------- PASCO'97 will be held in federation with ISSAC'97 (the International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation, July 20-23 at the same location). There will be plenary speakers addressing the joint audience, and the exhibitions and systems demonstration area will be shared among the conferences. Papers to ISSAC'97 and PASCO'97 are submitted normally to the respective PC Chairs. For electronic submission to PASCO'97, see below. The final version of accepted papers will be published in Proceedings by ACM Press and will be available at the meeting. Several high quality papers from the first conference (PASCO'94) were published in a JSC special issue. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the meeting. Persons registering for PASCO'97 can attend ISSAC'97 talks.
