The Second Call for Papers of
The Third International Congress on Mathematical Software
[ ICMS'2010 --- developers meeting ]

(March 26, 2010, Revised April 8,2010)

Dates: September 13 to 17 (Monday to Friday), 2010
Place: Department of Mathematics, Kobe University, Kobe, Japan

OVERVIEW

This congress is the third in the series, where the first meeting was
held in Beijing in 2002 and the previous one in Castro Urdiales, SPAIN
in 2006; see http://www.icms2006.unican.es/ .
The first two meetings were satellite events to ICM (International
Congress of Mathematicians). We will have a presentation booth at ICM
2010 in India.

We will welcome developers of mathematical software systems as well as
researchers in algorithms and mathematicians who are interested in the
development of mathematical software and systems. This is an almost
unique chance to meet people in different disciplines in mathematics
and computer science and exchange ideas on developments on mathematical
software and systems. While the main audience of this meeting is assumed
to be developers of mathematical software and software systems, we
welcome the participation of mathematicians and scientists who are
interested in using mathematical software for their research.

The proceedings of the congress is planned and all accepted papers and
short communications will be published as Springer Lecture Notes in
Computer Science.
(The proceedings of ICMS 2006 was published as LNCS Volume 4151.)


AIM AND SCOPE

Mathematics has a wide variety of branches. Despite this, we in the
International Congress on Mathematical Software believe that mathematics
is fundamentally just one thing. Algebra, geometry and analysis are
examples of separate specialities within mathematics, and of course we
consider each of them valuable and hence study them. But we take the view
that any branch of mathematics can borrow freely from these specialities.
It is often worthwhile delving into them for ideas that might lead to
fundamental new discoveries.
The same can be said of mathematical software systems: the study of
mathematical software is a coherent whole. We believe that the appearance
of mathematical software is a fundamentally new event in mathematics of
increasing importance. Mathematical software systems are used to construct
examples, to prove theorems, and to find new mathematical phenomena.
Conversely, mathematical research often motivates developments of new
algorithms and new systems. Beyond mathematics, mathematical software systems
are becoming indispensable tools in many branches of science and technology.
The development of mathematical software systems relies on the cooperation
of mathematicians, algorithm designers, programmers, and the feedback from
users. The main audience of this congress is the community of mathematical
software developers and programming mathematicians, but we also intend to
provide an opportunity to discuss these topics with mathematicians and users
from application areas. Topics include but are not limited to:

1. Design and implementation of mathematical software
2. Software engineering problems for mathematical software.
3. Mathematics and media including user interfaces and integration of
documents and software systems.
4. Mathematics related to mathematical software (experiments,
algorithms).
5. Scientific and high performance computing.
6. Applications of mathematical software.
