I know this is off topic, but I think that this conference that it is been organized here in Buenos Aires (by a collegue at my university) might be of interest to some Sage developers.
bests regards Pablo ============================================ MACIS 2008 - Third International Conference on Mathematical Aspects of Computer and Information Sciences Buenos Aires, Argentina, December 10-12, 2008 http://www.cc4cm.org/macis2008/ collocated with VI ALIO/EURO Workshop on Applied Combinatorial Optimization, December 15-17, 2008, Buenos Aires, Argentina http://alioeuro2008.dc.uba.ar/ CALL FOR PAPERS Mathematical Aspects of Computer and Information Sciences (MACIS) is a new series of conferences where foundational research on theoretical and practical problems of mathematics for computing and information processing may be presented and discussed. MACIS also addresses experimental and case studies, scientific and engineering computation, design and implementation of algorithms and software systems, and applications of mathematical methods and tools to outstanding and emerging problems in applied computer and information sciences. Each conference focuses on two or three themes. MACIS 2008 themes: (1) Complex Systems and Networks (2) Certified and Reliable Computation (3) Computational Algebraic Geometry The first MACIS conference took place in Beijing, China, July 24-26, 2006 (see http://www.cc4cm.org/macis2006/ ) The second MACIS conference took place in Paris, France, December 5-7, 2007 (see http://www-spiral.lip6.fr/MACIS2007 ) SUBMISSION Potential participants of MACIS 2008 are invited to submit extended abstracts (3-4 pages) or full papers describing their work to be presented at the conference. The submitted extended abstracts and full papers will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee (PC) for soundness and relevance to the conference. Submission of original research papers is encouraged, while published material and work in progress will also be considered for presentation at the conference. Electronic submissions are strongly preferred by using the web page http://www.easychair.org/MACIS2008/ or should be sent by e-mail as .pdf attachments to the PC chair: Dr. Ilias S. Kotsireas Wilfrid Laurier University Waterloo ON, CANADA e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Accepted extended abstracts and full papers will be printed for distribution at the conference. Authors of the extended abstracts and full papers accepted for presentation at the conference will be invited to submit their full and/or revised papers for publication in special issues of Mathematics in Computer Science (MCS - http://www.cc4cm.org/mcs) by Birkhauser/Springer after the meeting. The submitted papers will be formally reviewed by PC members and external referees according to the refereeing procedure of MCS. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for extended abstract submission: October 28, 2008 Notification of acceptance or rejection: November 20, 2008 Conference taking place: December 10-12, 2008 GENERAL CHAIRS Gabriela Jeronimo (Buenos Aires) Fabrice Rouillier (Paris) PROGRAM COMMITTEE CHAIR Ilias Kotsireas (Waterloo) PUBLICITY CHAIR Wen-shin Lee (Antwerp) WEBMASTER Asem Kasem (Tsukuba) ------------------------------------------------------- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
