ACA 2020 Special Session

Symbolic Computation MMXX

Athens, Greece, July 17-18, 2020


Organizers: Dongming Wang and Bruno Buchberger

Important Update: the special session of ACA 2020 on Symbolic Computation MMXX has been cancelled due to concerns with COVID-19.

This session will present stereopictures of Symbolic Computation captured from different points and angles of view in the complex universe of science and engineering. It will feature invited talks on the concepts, methodologies, and subjects structured below.

  1. State of the Art
  2. Foundations, Conceptions, and Methodologies
  3. Milestones on the Time Axis
    • Symbolic Computation Since 1970
    • Symbolic Computation from 2021 to 2050
  4. Layers of the Discipline
    • Theories
    • Algorithms
    • Software
    • Applications
  5. Spectrum of Domains
    • Computer Algebra
    • Algebraic Geometry
    • Geometric Computation
    • Symbolic Analysis
    • Computational Combinatorics
    • Symbolic-Numerics
    • Formal Reasoning
  6. Interfaces with Basic Science
