The 2005 East Coast Computer Algebra Day (ECCAD'2005)

一个为期一天的会议，称为东海岸计算机代数日(ECCAD‘2005)将于2005年3月12日星期六在俄亥俄州阿什兰的阿什兰大学举行。会议的目的是激发人们对计算机代数技术方面的兴趣和了解。它的形式为该地区那些积极或有兴趣在计算机代数领域变得更加活跃的人提供了一个论坛，让他们以一种廉价和容易访问的方式参与、互动和彼此会面。这次会议没有ACM主办的符号和代数计算国际研讨会(ISAC)那么非正式，有足够的时间进行非结构化的互动。该地区的研究生和初级教员将通过特别邀请他们为招贴会议作贡献以及通过旅行支持来特别鼓励他们参与。由社区贡献的受邀演讲和海报会议预计将涵盖计算机代数的广度：算法、系统和应用程序。投稿的海报和软件演示将使研究人员，特别是初级教职员工和研究生，能够宣传他们的最新发现，并建立新的联系。ECCAD会议总是在同一年的ISSAC之前举行。因此，ECCAD为与会者提供了一个在重大国际会议之前预览和审查重要研究的绝佳机会。这次会议的结果是，符号计算方面的研究活动增加了，美国在ISSAC上的表现更好，以及对计算机代数系统的更广泛的欣赏、兴趣和课堂使用。与以往的会议一样，ECCAD 2005将不收取任何注册费。

A one-day meeting, called the East Coast Computer Algebra Day (ECCAD'2005) is being held at Ashland University in Ashland, Ohio on Saturday, March 12, 2005. The purpose of the meeting is to stimulate interest in and understanding of the technical aspects of computer algebra. Its format provides a forum for those in the region who are active or interested in becoming more active in computer algebra to participate, interact, and meet with each other in an inexpensive and easily accessible way. This meeting is less informal than the annual meetings of the ACM sponsored International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation (ISSAC), with ample time for unstructured interaction. Participation by the region's graduate students and junior faculty will be particularly encouraged through special invitation to contribute to the poster sessions, and through travel support. The invited talks and poster sessions contributed by the community are expected to cover the breadth of computer algebra: algorithms, systems, and applications. The contributed posters and software demo sessions will enable researchers, especially junior faculty and graduate students, to publicize their recent findings and to make new contacts.The ECCAD conference always precedes ISSAC for the same year. ECCAD thus provides participants an excellent opportunity to preview and review important research before a major international meeting. As a result of this conference, there is increased research activity in symbolic computation with better representation at ISSAC from the United States, as well as a wider appreciation, interest, and classroom use of computer algebra systems. As has been for past meetings, ECCAD 2005 will be held without any registration fee.
