              CALL FOR POSTERS AND SOFTWARE PRESENTATIONS

                 http://www.issac-conference.org/2018

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation is
the premier conference for research in symbolic computation and
computer algebra. ISSAC 2018 will be the 43rd meeting in the series,
which started in 1966 and has been held annually since 1981. The
conference presents a range of invited speakers, tutorials, poster
sessions, software demonstrations and vendor exhibits with a
centerpiece of contributed research papers.

ISSAC 2018 is held on July 16-19 2018, at the CUNY Graduate Center,
New York, USA.

The poster session at ISSAC is a venue to announce early research
results or ongoing projects that might not yet be complete.  Posters
reporting on recent work published or accepted or submitted elsewhere
are also welcome (with original publications clearly referenced).

The software presentations at ISSAC are for demonstrating and
communicating about new developments in software for symbolic and
algebraic computation.  Presentations are welcome for software based
on previously published algorithms and mathematics.

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract in PDF format of no
more than 4 pages. The abstracts will be reviewed by the poster and
software committees and relevant experts when needed. The review
criteria are content, originality, style and relevance. The accepted
poster and software abstracts will be printed and distributed at the
conference as well as published in an upcoming issue of the ACM SIGSAM
Communications in Computer Algebra.
