                         ISSAC 2020

 International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation
                       July 20-22 2020


Call for Software Demonstrations, and for Posters / Short Communications


              http://issac-conference.org/2020/
------------------------------------------------------------------------


Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ISSAC 2020 is organized as a virtual
conference. The real-time part of the Symposium will be limited to 3
hours per day, starting at 15.00 Eastern European Time, during July
20-22, 2020. ISSAC 2020 will include most of the components of a usual
ISSAC meeting. Some presentations (e.g., invited talks) will be fully
live, while some others will have presentations circulated before the
conference and be followed by an interactive portion during the
conference. This format is designed to give a chance for ISSAC
participants in all time zones to get the most out of this meeting.


Important Dates for Software and Poster presentations:
------------------------------------------------------
Deadline for submission: June 10.
Notification of decision: July 1.
Final presentations uploaded: July 10, details on the format TBD


Software presentations:
-----------------------
The software presentations at ISSAC are for demonstrating and
communicating new developments in software for symbolic and algebraic
computation. Presentations are welcome for software based on
previously published algorithms and mathematics. Authors are invited
to submit an extended abstract in PDF format of no more than 4 pages
which will be reviewed by the software committee.  Accepted software
presentations will then consist of slides in PDF format posted online
at the ISSAC website before the start of the conference, with an
opportunity to see questions about their slides before their allotted
presentation time.


Poster / Short Communications:
------------------------------
Poster presentations at ISSAC are for getting our community excited
about new or ongoing work that has not yet been published.
Presentations on work that has recently been accepted elsewhere are
also welcome. In this year's edition, ``posters'' are essentially
short communications. Authors are invited to submit an extended
abstract in PDF format, consisting of no more than 4 pages, which will
be reviewed by the poster committee.

The poster presentations will then consist of 5 pages of slides in PDF
format (not including title page and references) posted online at the
ISSAC website before the start of the conference. Presenters will then
have the opportunity to see questions about their slides before their
allotted presentation time.

Live sessions will be allocated for Software and Poster presentations
during the daily online meetings. Presentation details will be
determined in due course.

The accepted poster and software abstracts will be published in an
upcoming issue of the ACM SIGSAM Communications in Computer Algebra.
