Nonstandard Applications of Computer Algebra

at ACA'2008 to be held July 27-30, 2008 at RISC, Castle of Hagenberg, Austria

Organizers:

Eugenio Roanes-Lozano
Michael Wester
Stanly Steinberg

Overview:

In many of the ACA conferences from 1996 onwards, we have chaired a session devoted to ``Nonstandard Applications of Computer Algebra''. The session traditionally collects contributions that, while using Computer Algebra techniques and/or Computer Algebra Systems, can not be easily allocated in the ``standard'' sessions. Examples of topics treated in papers presented in previous editions of the conference are: Verification and Development of Expert Systems (using algebraic techniques), Railway Traffic Control, Artificial Intelligence, Thermodynamics, Molecular Dynamics, Statistics, Electrical Networks, Logic, Robotics, Sociology ...

We are organizing again for ACA'2008 this session:

NONSTANDARD APPLICATIONS OF COMPUTER ALGEBRA

Submissions of works in this area are welcome. If you are interested in submitting a paper, please send an e-mail message to both of us, including a tentative title and a 1 to 2 page long abstract with a general description of your work.

SCHEDULE: The list below will be the order of the talks in the conference schedule, which is still being fine tuned. We expect that the most or all of the talks will occur on Tuesday.
