============================================================
                  First Call for Papers

                        SYNASC 2022

               24th International Symposium on
        Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing
            September 12-15, 2022, Linz, Austria
                http://synasc.ro/2022

============================================================

SYNASC 2022 will be organized as a face-to-face event, all accepted 
papers have to be presented
in person. However we are aware of the possibility that the COVID 
pandemic does not allow this,
so preparations are made to hold a hybrid symposium, or even completely 
virtual.

=== Aim ===

SYNASC aims to stimulate the interaction among multiple communities 
focusing on defining,
optimizing and executing complex algorithms in several application 
areas. The focus of the
conference ranges from symbolic and numeric computation to formal 
methods applied to programming,
artificial intelligence, distributed computing and computing theory. The 
interplay between these
areas, in fact, is essential in the current scenario where economy and 
society demand for the
development of complex, data intensive, trustable and high performant 
computational systems.

In this context we invite for:
     * research paper submissions
     * special session proposals
     * satellite workshop proposals
     * tutorial proposals

=== Important Dates ===

30 March 2022       : Proposals for workshops, special sessions, tutorials
1  June 2022        : Paper submission for main tracks
8  July 2022        : Notification of acceptance
22 July 2022        : Registration
22 July 2022        : Revised papers according to the reviews
12-15 September 2022: Symposium

=== Invited Speakers ===

Michael Affenzeller, University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria
Wolfgang Schreiner, Johannes Kepler University, Austria

=== Submission ===

Submitted research papers must contain original research results not 
submitted
and not published elsewhere.

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).
     * Work in progress papers, describing ongoing work and/or 
preliminary results (up to 4 pages in the two-columns paper style).
     * PhD Students short papers, describing ongoing work and research 
challenges of PhD students (up to 4 pages in the two-columns paper style).

The papers should be submitted electronically through
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=synasc2022.

Research papers that are accepted and presented at the symposium will be 
collected as proceedings published by Conference Publishing Service 
(CPS) (included in IEEE Xplore) and will be submitted for indexing in 
ISI Web of Science, DBLP, SCOPUS.

In addition, a couple of special issues of journals are being organized 
for publishing extended and improved versions of high quality papers, in 
particular areas covered by SYNASC. At the moment the following 
agreements with journals have been made:
     * Journal of Symbolic Computation (in particular for the tracks of 
Symbolic Computation, Logic and Programming)
     * Scalable Computing: Practice and Experience (in particular for 
the track of Distributed Computing)

=== 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 chair and by the general chair.

=== 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. The papers for workshops should 
be submitted
using the same submission system as for the main tracks and the papers 
accepted for
publication will be included in the SYNASC volume published by 
Conference Publishing
Services. 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.
