Journal of Symbolic Computation
Special Issue on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation
Guest Editors: Carlos D'Andrea & Bernard Mourrain

The special issue is related to topics discussed in the context of the  
ISSAC Conference in July 2007 at Waterloo, Canada.

The International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation
(ISSAC) is the premier annual conference to present and discuss new
developments and original research results in all areas of symbolic mathematical
computation.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

Algorithmic Mathematics:
Algebraic, symbolic and symbolic-numeric algorithms. Simplification,
function manipulation, summation, integration, polynomial/differential/difference
equations, linear algebra, number theory, group and invariant theory,
geometric computing.

Computer Science:
Theoretical and practical problems in symbolic computation. Systems,
problem solving environments, user interfaces, software, libraries,
parallel/distributed computing and programming languages, concrete analysis,
benchmarking, theoretical and practical complexity, automatic
differentiation,  code generation, mathematical data structures and exchange protocols.

Applications:
Problem treatments using algebraic, symbolic or symbolic-numeric
computation in an essential or a novel way. Engineering, economics and
finance, physical and biological sciences, computer science, logic, mathematics
and education.

The special issue will contain a selection of papers which  
substantially extend existing works on these topics. The submission is
open to contributions  not necessarly extending papers included in the
proceedings of ISSAC 07.

The guiding principles for the publication procedure will be the following:

* Original research results and insightful analysis of current concerns
are solicited for submission. Submissions must not duplicate work already
published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Further insights on
papers included in the Proceedings of the ISSAC 2007 Conference are welcome,
but the new contributions should be relevant.

The paper should explain in its introduction, what the problem is, its
importance, the contribution of the paper, how it is related to the existing literature,
and what are the significant improvements/enhancement compared to the
related ISSAC 2007 paper, if it exists.

* All the papers will be refereed according to the JSC standards.

* Papers should be submitted to http://www.easychair.org/jsc-issac07/

* DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 30, 2007

* The format is pdf. Please prepare your manuscript by using the JSC style
  files, which are available from the JSC home pages at

* The final versions should be sent in by the end of March 2008, with
tex sources, in the same way as the initial submission.

* The special issue is expected to appear by the time of ISSAC 2008.

Professor Carra-Ferro is remembered for her contributions to
Differential Algebra (differential spectrum and varieties,
Kolchin schemes, differential Groebner bases, differential
dimension and multiplicity, automated theorem-proving in
differential geometry, differential rankings, characteristic
sets, and differential resultants) and to Computer Algebra
(super G-bases, involutive division, and graph algorithms).

The major focus of the conference will be Differential

Topics include, but are not limited to, differential and
difference algebra, differential and difference Galois
theory, differential algebraic geometry, differential
algebraic groups, differential dimension theory and
invariants, related model theory, computational differential
algebra, dynamical systems, integrability theories, and
applications.  In addition, the conference will also be open
to other topics that are related to the research interest of
Carra-Ferro (see the conference website
