ISSAC 2021

The International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation (ISSAC) is the premier conference for research in symbolic computation and computer algebra. ISSAC 2021 will be the 46th meeting in the series, which started in 1966 and has been held annually since 1981. The conference presents a range of invited speakers, tutorials, poster sessions, software demonstrations and vendor exhibits with a center-piece of contributed research papers.

 

Hybrid Format

The international situation makes it impossible to hold ISSAC'21 the way usual ISSAC conferences are held. To offer a reasonable experience to our community, ISSAC'21 is organized according to the following exceptional format:

• ISSAC'21 is run in a hybrid mode, that is, with largest attendance online and a possibility to attend in person for those able to travel.
• The working times are from 14:00 to 20:00 in Saint Petersburg, so as to accommodate as many time zones as possible.
• The conference spreads over 5 days, including tutorials (Mon 19 to Fri 23 July).

This choice ensures that all talks and components of the conference have the same duration as in usual (in person) ISSAC meetings.

A pre-conference workshop in honor of Vladimir Gerdt takes place on Sunday 18 July.

Important dates

Conference topics

All areas of computer algebra and symbolic computation are of interest at ISSAC 2021. These include, but are not limited to:

Algorithmic aspects:

• Exact and symbolic linear, polynomial and differential algebra
• Symbolic-numeric, homotopy, perturbation and series methods
• Computational algebraic geometry, group theory and number theory, quantifier elimination and logic
• Computer arithmetic
• Summation, recurrence equations, integration, solution of ODEs & PDEs
• Symbolic methods in other areas of pure and applied mathematics
• Complexity of algebraic algorithms and algebraic complexity

Software aspects:

• Design of symbolic computation packages and systems
• Language design and type systems for symbolic computation
• Data representation
• Considerations for modern hardware
• Algorithm implementation and performance tuning
• Mathematical user interfaces
• Use with systems for, e.g., digital libraries, courseware, simulation and optimization, automated theorem-proving, computer-aided design, and automatic differentiation.

Application aspects:

• Applications that stretch the current limits of computer algebra algorithms or systems, use computer algebra in new areas or new ways, or apply it in situations with broad impact.

 

Invited speakers

The conference features three invited talks by the following speakers:

• Alin Bostan, Inria, France.
  
• Xiao-shan Gao, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China.
  
• Nadia Heninger, University of California, San Diego, USA.
  

 

Tutorials

The conference will have three tutorials:

• Janko Böhm, Universität Kaiserslautern, Germany and Anne Frühbis-Krüger, Carl von Ossietzky Universität, Germany.
  
• Marc Moreno Maza, University of Western Ontario, Canada.
  
• Pierre Vanhove, CEA, France.
