East Coast Computer Algebra Day 2009

项目摘要第十六届年度东海岸计算机代数日 (ECCAD?2009) 将于 2009 年 5 月 2 日星期六在金斯顿罗德岛大学举行。会议的目的是激发兴趣并增强对计算机代数技术和应用方面的理解。 该会议为那些有兴趣更加积极地参与计算机代数的人们提供了一个论坛，以一种廉价且易于访问的方式参与、互动和与他人会面。 ECCAD 是为期一天的会议，比该领域的其他技术会议更加非正式，有充足的时间进行非结构化互动。 我们特别鼓励研究生和初级教师参与海报会议和软件演示，并提供差旅支持。会议将包括四位在计算机代数领域做出杰出贡献的受邀演讲者的演讲。 这些演讲者将主持会议并帮助吸引参与者。 还将有一个关于计算机代数未来方向的特别小组，以及海报和演示会议。 受邀演讲、小组讨论和海报会议预计将涵盖计算机代数的整个范围：算法、系统和应用。 贡献的海报和软件演示将使研究人员，特别是初级教师和研究生能够宣传他们的最新发现并建立新的联系。今年的 ECCAD 是第二次在新英格兰举行。 该地区有许多学院和大学，希望这次会议能够吸引大量与会者，并激发人们对计算机代数的新兴趣。

PROJECT SUMMARYThe Sixteenth Annual East Coast Computer Algebra Day (ECCAD?2009) will be held at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston on Saturday, May 2, 2009. The purpose of the meeting is to stimulate interest and enhance understanding of the technical and applied aspects of computer algebra. The conference provides a forum for those interested in becoming more active in computer algebra to participate, interact, and meet with others in an inexpensive and easily accessible way. ECCAD is a one-day meeting that is more informal than other technical conferences in the field, with ample time for unstructured interaction. Participation by graduate students and junior faculty is particularly encouraged through special invitation to contribute to the poster session and software demonstrations, and through travel support.The meeting will include presentations by four invited speakers who have made outstanding contributions in the field of computer algebra. These speakers will anchor the meeting and help attract participants. There will also be a special panel on Future Directions in Computer Algebra, along with the poster and demonstration session. The invited talks, panel, and poster session are expected to cover the entire range of computer algebra: algorithms, systems, and applications. The contributed posters and software demonstrations will enable researchers, especially junior faculty and graduate students, to publicize their recent findings and to make new contacts.This year's ECCAD is only the second to be held in New England. With many colleges and universities in the area, it is hoped that the meeting will be able to draw a large number of attendees and to generate new interest in computer algebra.
