Parallel Symbolic Computation 2007 (PASCO 2007) July 27-28, 2007 -- London Canada http://www.orcca.on.ca/conferences/pasco2007 C A L L f o r P A P E R S Initial Announcement Overview: The pervasive ubiquity of parallel architectures, from SMPs to multi-core laptops, has led to a new quest for mathematical algorithms and software capable of exploiting these computing resources. Symbolic computation offers exiting, but highly complex, challenges to scientists aiming to contribute to this quest. The goal of the present workshop is to stimulate the development of parallel algorithms and software for achieving high performance in symbolic computation from grids to home computers. Earlier meetings in this series include PASCO '94 in Linz, Austria and PASCO '97 in Maui, U.S.A. PASCO 2007 is affiliated with the 2007 International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation (ISSAC 2007). Co-located with this workshop will be SNC 2007, the 2007 International Workshop on Symbolic-Numeric Computation. SNC and PASCO will be held immediately prior to the ISSAC 2007 meeting, both at the University of Western Ontario, Canada. ISSAC 2007 will be held nearby in Waterloo, Canada. Call for Papers: The program of PASCO 2007 will include invited presentations, contributed research papers and posters. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: * Parallel computer algebra * Design of high performance software tools and interfaces for exact and approximate procedures * Design and analysis of parallel algorithms for algebraic computations * Parallel computing for number theory, geometry, automatic theorem proving, combinatorial and discrete methods * Distributed data-structures for matrices and polynomials * Implementations of solvers on multi-cores, SMPs, clusters, supercomputers and grids * Interactive parallel symbolic computation * Volunteer computing for symbolic problems * Applications of parallel symbolic computation The conference invites submission of papers presenting original research, either in the form of extended abstracts (4 pages) or full papers (up to 16 pages in 11 point font).
