U.S.-Sweden Workshop: Worldwide Access of Emerging Mathematical Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, August 1995

该奖项将资助7名美国参与者参加1995年6月7日至9日在瑞典斯德哥尔摩举行的美国-瑞典计算机代数研讨会。联合组织者是克莱姆森大学的大卫·P·雅各布斯和布莱恩·马洛伊，以及斯德哥尔摩大学的托尔斯滕·埃克达尔。讲习班的目的是讨论如何利用万维网和其他网络与科学界和教育界共享数学软件系统。讲习班讨论了有关制定共同标准和代码、多媒体方法以及用于建立接口的适当软件开发工具的问题。许多专门的数学软件系统正在出现，以执行诸如求解方程组、构造代数结构、检查几何对象的性质以及可视化抽象数学系统等不同的计算。由于数据交换的不同格式和不同约定，这些系统不容易运输。万维网的出现现在提供了通过远程访问软件程序来共享不同系统的机会。研讨会利用了通过POSSO(多项式系统解算器)小组与瑞典计算机代数专家和其他欧洲人的互动。

This award will support travel of 7 U.S. participants to a U.S.-Sweden workshop in computer algebra in Stockholm, Sweden, June 7-9, 1995. The co-organizers are David P. Jacobs and Brian Malloy of Clemson University and Torsten Ekedahl of Stockholm University. The purpose of the workshop is to discuss the use of world wide web and other networks for sharing mathematical software systems with the scientific and educational community. The workshop addresses issues concerning the development of common standards and codes, multimedia approaches, and appropriate software development tools for building interfaces. Many specialized mathematical software systems are emerging to perform such diverse computations as solving systems of equations, constructing algebraic structures, examining properties of geometric objects, and visualizing abstract mathematical systems. These systems are not easily transported because of different formats and varied conventions for the interchange of data. The emergence of world wide web now offers an opportunity for sharing different systems through remote access to software programs. The workshop takes advantage of interaction with Swedish computer algebra specialists and other Europeans through POSSO (Polynomial Systems Solver) group.
