First Call for Papers
---------------------
SYNASC 2009

11th International Symposium on
Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing
September 26-29, 2009, Timisoara, Romania
http://synasc09.info.uvt.ro/

Aim:
---
SYNASC aims to stimulate the interaction between the two scientific communities of symbolic and numeric computing, with the purpose of exhibiting interesting applications of these areas both in theory and in practice.  The choice of this topic is motivated by the belief of the organizers that  the dialogue  between the two communities is very necessary in order to make significant progress in  making the computer a truly intelligent aid for mathematicians and engineers.

Submission:
-----------
Papers (IEEE conference style), must be submitted electronically through http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=synasc2009.

We invite submissions in the form of:
    * full research papers, (up to 8 pages).
         Accepted research papers will be presented at the conference
         and will be also published in the proceedings.
    * informal presentations (up to 4 pages).
         Accepted informal presentations will be presented at the
         conference but will not be published in the proceedings.

We also invite proposals for:
    * special sessions
    * satellite workshops

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 chairs and program committee, which will be integrated in the conference programme committee and will be supervised by the conference programme chair and by the general chair.

Proposals for satellite workshops are also invited. The scientific programme of the satellite workshops is entirely organized by the respective workshops. The main conference provides the infrastructure (registration, handling the finance, room and coffee breaks, etc). Authors contributing to a workshop would be required to register for the symposium.

Proposal 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.
