Special Session on
Pen-Based Mathematical Computing
Conference on Applications of Computer Algebra (ACA) 2005
July 31 - August 3, 2005. Nara, Japan
With the wide-spread availability of Tablet PCs and hand-held devices there is an opportunity for a new paradigm of interface for popular mathematical software packages. The use of the pen to enter, edit, and manipulate mathematical expressions can lead to a qualitative improvement in the ease of use of computer algebra systems. The purpose of this session is to explore this area.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Pen-based interfaces for computer algebra
- Pen-based expression entry, editing and manipulation
- Semantic methods for disambiguation
- Data collection and analysis
- Structural analysis of 2 dimensional mathematical notation
- On-line and off-line mathematical handwriting recognition
- Reports on implementations and experiments
