Session on Symbolic-Numeric Interfaces at IMACS-ACA

Organizers:
	Sanjiva Weerawarana (saw@cs.purdue.edu)
	Paul S. Wang (pwang@mcs.kent.edu)

The IMACS-ACA'97 (Applications of Computer Algebra) meeting will be 
held at the Aston Wailea Resort, Maui, Hawaii on July 24-26, 1997. 
For information see:
        http://math.unm.edu/ACA/1997.html

The session on symbolic-numeric interfaces will address issues related
to integrating the symbolic and numeric computing paradigms in building
computational systems for mathematics, science, and engineering.
All areas from theoretical issues to applications of integrating 
symbolic and numeric computing are welcome. A survey of the 
state-of-the-art which discusses current practice as a tutorial is
strongly desired.

This session has been assigned a three-hour time slot. This may be 
allocated as follows: 1 hr for a survey talk + four 1/2 hour talks or
simply as six 1/2 hr talks.

To be invited to give a talk in this session, send a title and abstract
to the session organizers at
	aca97-sni@cs.purdue.edu
There will not be printed proceedings. Accepted papers will appear
electronically in the URL of the conference.  If the contributions
warrant it, publication as a special issue of a journal is a distinct
possibility.
