Internet Accessible Mathematical Computation
a Workshop at ISSAC 2004

Thursday 8 July 2004
University of Cantabria, Santander Spain

with the support of
Consejería de Educacion, Gobierno de Cantabria
Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Over the past several years, the Internet Accessible Mathematical Computation workshop has been a popular satellite event at the ISSAC conferences. These workshops have featured invited speakers, contributed papers and posters or software demonstrations. This year's workshop will be the 5th annual event, held on July 8th as part of the ISSAC 2004 meeting. The workshop is free to all ISSAC 2004 participants.

TOPICS

Everyone with an interest in the many aspects of making mathematical computation or information accessible on the Web/Internet is welcome to attend. Topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:

  • Remote access to mathematical software over the Internet.
  • Encoding of mathematical expressions (including XML, text and binary encodings) used for E-mail, HTML embedding, digital libraries, computer algebra systems, and other scientific applications.
  • Interoperability between software that create/transform/display mathematical expressions (e.g. symbolic, numeric, graphics, text-processing packages)
  • Web-based mathematics education.
  • Access and interoperability to mathematical knowledge bases.
  • Protocols, APIs, URL schemes, metadata, and other mechanisms for system interoperability, parallel/distributed computing, and standardization.
  • Application of IAMC for practical purposes such as scientific publishing and archiving, distributed problem solving, etc.
