  Abstract:
We describe a parallel hybrid symbolic-numerical solution to the problem of
reliably plotting a plane algebraic curve.  The original sequential program is
implemented in the software library CASA on the basis of the computer algebra
system Maple.  The new parallel version is based on Distributed Maple, a
distributed programming extension written in Java.  We describe the
mathematical foundations of the algorithm, give sequential algorithmic
improvements and discuss our parallelization approach.
