Nonstandard Applications of Computer Algebra

at ACA'2012 to be held June 25-28, 2012 in Sofia, Bulgaria

Organizers:

Francisco Botana
Antonio Hernando
Eugenio Roanes-Lozano
Michael Wester

Overview

This session collects contributions that, while using Computer Algebra techniques and/or Computer Algebra Systems, can not easily be placed in the ``standard'' sessions. Examples of topics presented in previous conferences include: Verification and Development of Expert Systems (using algebraic techniques), Railway Traffic Control, Artificial Intelligence, Thermodynamics, Molecular Dynamics, Statistics, Electrical Networks, Logic, Robotics, Sociology, Integration, Mechanics, Discrete Mathematics, ...

Selected papers from this session will appear in a special issue of Mathematics and Computers in Simulation.

Submissions

As with previous ACAs, presentations will be accepted based on an abstract. Please send a copy of your abstract in text or PDF to the session organizers.

In order to speed up the publication process of the special issue, once the presentation is accepted, we ask authors to submit a full paper (if they plan one) through Elsevier's web page before attending the conference. Detailed instructions will be send to the authors of accepted talks. The organizers of the session will include any interesting suggestions that arise during the presentation of the talks to the reviewers' reports.

Important remark: Submissions to this session should have an innovative ("nonstandard") component and must make explicit and justified use of computer algebra techniques or systems.  An application should be described.
