 SYNASC 2023 - Second Call for Papers

25th International Symposium on
Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing
September 11-14, 2023, LORIA in Nancy, France
http://synasc.ro/2023

=== Aim ===

SYNASC aims to stimulate 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 the economy and society demand for the development of
complex, data-intensive, trustable and high-performance computational systems.

In this context we invite:
    * research paper submissions

=== Important Dates ===

15 May 2023      : Paper submission for main tracks
1 June 2023      : Paper submissions for workshops
15 July 2023     : Notification of acceptance
5 September 2023 : Registration
5 September 2023 : Revised papers according to the reviews
11-14 September 2023: Symposium

=== Submission ===

All papers must contain original research results and should not be submitted or
 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 software prototypes,
         results of simulations, or experimental data analysis, 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).
