                       SYNASC 2016

              18th International Symposium on
   Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing
         September 24-27, 2016, Timisoara, Romania
               http://synasc.ro/2016

Aim
---

SYNASC aims to stimulate the interaction between the two scientific communities of symbolic and
numeric computing and to exhibit interesting applications of the areas both in theory and in
practice. The choice of the topic is motivated by the belief of the organizers that the dialogue
between the two communities is very necessary for accelerating the progress in making the computer a
truly intelligent aid for mathematicians and engineers.

Submission
-----------
Submissions of research papers are invited. The papers must contain original research results not
submitted and not published elsewhere.

The submission process consists of two steps.

    * In the first step the authors are invited to express their intention to participate at the
conference by registering the title and a tentative abstract (1/2 page, at maximum) of their paper.

    * In the second step the authors should submit the full paper.

There are four categories of submissions:
    * Regular papers describing fully completed research results (up to 8 pages in the two-columns
paper style).
    * System descriptions and experimental papers describing implementation results of experimental
data, with a link to the reported results (up to 4 pages in the two-columns paper style).
    * Short papers, describing work in progress and/or preliminary results (up to 4 pages in the
two-columns paper style).
    * Posters, describing ongoing work and research challenges of PhD students (up to 2 pages in the
two-columns paper style).

Both the abstract and the full paper should be submitted electronically through
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=synasc2016.

Proposals are also invited for:

    * special sessions
    * satellite workshops
    * tutorials

Special sessions
----------------

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

Workshops
---------

Proposals for satellite workshops are also invited. The satellite workshops should have topics
related to SYNASC but the scientific program of each satellite workshop is managed by the workshop
organizers. Authors contributing to a workshop would be required to register for the symposium.

Tutorials
---------

Proposals 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.
