点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

A conference on ?Groups and Computation? will be held on March 17?21, 2008, at The Ohio State University. The conference will focus on recent progress in computational group theory and its applications, including new algorithms and data structures for permutation groups and matrix groups, Lie-type groups, and p-groups. Connections with computer science, probability theory, and symbolic algebra will also be explored. A panel discussionon future directions of research and on the coordination of software development will shape activities in the topic in the coming years. The conference will explore applications in these disciplines and will contribute tothe development of a computing enviroment widely avalaible for applications and educational purposes. The emphasis on participation of students and recent PhD receipients contributes to the development of the nation?s science personnel base.
