East Coast Computer Algebra Day 2004

东海岸计算机代数日，ECCAD‘2004会议，将于2004年5月8日星期六在安大略省滑铁卢的威尔弗里德·劳里埃大学举行。这次会议是该系列会议的第十一次。自1994年以来，ECCAD会议每年在美国东海岸的不同地点举行。我们估计大约有100名来自计算机代数研究社区的参与者，他们要么从事理论研究，要么从事科学和工程中的重要应用。今年我们预计也会有来自高性能计算研究社区的一些参与者，因为最近人们对使用高性能计算的计算机代数应用程序产生了浓厚的兴趣。在2004年ECCAD会议之前，将在安大略省滑铁卢的滑铁卢大学举行一个为期两天的研讨会，由菲尔兹研究所资助。借鉴前几年的类似经验，我们预计，由于这两个活动的搭配，参加人数将会增加。参与者将主要来自北美东半部，特别是美国东海岸。会议将由三个应邀演讲和投稿海报和软件演示组成，涵盖计算机代数的所有方面：理论研究、软件和应用。

The East Coast Computer Algebra Day, ECCAD'2004, meeting, will be held at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario on Saturday May 8, 2004. The meeting is the eleventh of the series. ECCAD meetings have been held annually since 1994 at a variety of US East Coast locations. We estimate a turnout of about 100 participants from the Computer Algebra research community, doing either theoretical research or important applications in science and engineering. This year we expect some participants from the high performance computing research community as well, since recently there has been a vivid interest on computer algebra applications using high-performance computing. ECCAD'2004 will be preceded by a two-day workshop at the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario, funded by the Fields Institute. Drawing on similar experiences from previous years, we expect an increase in the number of participants, because of the collocation of the two events. Participants will come mainly from the eastern half of North America and especially from the East Coast of the United States. The meeting will be comprised of three invited talks and contributed poster and software demonstration sessions, covering all aspects of computer algebra: theoretical research, software and applications.
