----------------------------------------- CALCULEMUS 2009 - Final Call for Papers ----------------------------------------- 16th Symposium on the Integration of Symbolic Computation and Mechanised Reasoning 6-7 July 2009, Joint with CICM'09, Ontario, Canada. http://www.calculemus.net/meetings/ontario09/ http://www.orcca.on.ca/conferences/cicm09/calculemus09/ Calculemus is a series of conferences dedicated to the integration of computer algebra systems (CAS) and systems for mechanised reasoning, the interactive theorem provers or proof assistants (PA) and the automated theorem provers (ATP). Currently, symbolic computation is divided into several (more or less) independent branches: traditional ones (e.g., computer algebra and mechanised reasoning) as well as newly emerging ones (on user interfaces, knowledge management, theory exploration, etc.) The main concern of the Calculemus community is to bring these developments together in order to facilitate the theory, design, and implementation of integrated systems for computer mathematics that will routinely be used by mathematicians, computer scientists and engineers in their every day business. We seek original research papers for the upcoming Calculemus meeting, which will be held jointly with MKM 2009 (confederated in the Conferences on Intelligent Computer Mathematics, CICM 2009) in Ontario, Canada. INVITED TALKS ------------- We are pleased to have invited talks from: Prof. Jacques Calmet (http://iaks-www.ira.uka.de/iaks-calmet/en_index.html) Rob Arthan (Director of Lemma 1, developer of ProofPower, http://www.lemma-one.demon.co.uk/Arthan/homepage.html) TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------ The scope of Calculemus covers all aspects of the interplay of mechanised reasoning and computer algebra, including cross-fertilisation between those two research areas, as well as the development of integrated systems that transcend both computer algebra and theorem proving. Potential topics of interest include: * Theorem proving in computer algebra (CAS) * Computer algebra in theorem proving (PA and ATP) * Case studies and applications that both involve computer algebra and mechanised reasoning * Representation of mathematics in computer algebra * Adding computational capabilities to PA and ATP * Formal methods requiring mixed computing and proving * Combining methods of symbolic computation and formal deduction * Mathematical computation in PA and ATP * Theory, design and implementation of interdisciplinary systems for computer mathematics * Infrastructure for mathematical services * Theory exploration techniques Papers on other topics closely related to the above research areas will also be welcomed for consideration. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- For (reviewed) full-paper submissions, the deadlines are: Abstract submission: 13 February 2009 Submission deadline: 20 February 2009 Notification of acceptance: 10 April 2009 Camera ready copies due: 24 April 2009 For extended abstracts on emerging trends, the deadlines are: Submission deadline: 7 May 2009 Notification of acceptance: 30 May 2009 Camera ready copies due: 12 June 2009 The dates of the Calculemus conference are: 6,7 July 2009 SUBMISSION ---------- Theoretical and applied research papers on all topics within the scope of the symposium are invited. Submitted papers must be in English and must not exceed 15 pages for full-papers, and should be between 200 words and 20 pages for emeging trends extended abstracts - we suggest 10 pages. The title page should contain the title, author(s) with affiliation(s), e-mail address(es), listing of keywords and abstract. The program committee (PC) will subject all full-papers submitted to a peer review. Emerging trends papers will be lightly reviewed. Results must be unpublished. The web page for electronic submission of full-papers is: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=calculemus2009 The web page for electronic submission of emerging trends papers is: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=calculemustrends2009 The proceedings of full-papers in the conference will be published as a volume in the series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) by Springer-Verlag. Accepted papers will have to be prepared in LaTeX and formatted according to the requirements of the Springer's LNAI series (the corresponding style files can be downloaded from http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html and are the same for LNCS and LNAI). Emerging trends papers will be made available online, but will not be published. These papers are expected to be describing work in progress.
