CALL FOR PAPERS

MILESTONES IN COMPUTER ALGEBRA (MICA 2008)

A Conference in Honour of Keith Geddes' 60th Birthday
Stonehaven Bay, Trinidad and Tobago, 1-3 May 2008


Website: http://www.orcca.on.ca/conferences/mica2008

Keith Geddes' research has spanned the areas of numerical approximation,
algebraic algorithms for symbolic computation, hybrid symbolic-numeric
computation and the design and implementation of computer algebra systems.
He is perhaps best known as co-founder of the Maple computer algebra
system. Through his teaching, research and software, the work of Keith
Geddes has touched millions of individuals. In honour of Keith Geddes'
60th birthday, the 40th year of his scientific career and the 20th
anniversary of the founding of Maplesoft, a conference will be held May
1-3, 2008 near Scarborough, Tobago.

The conference will feature invited talks by well known
figures in the computer algebra world as well as contributed talks
selected by the program committee. The following invited speakers have
confirmed their participation.

- Jim Cooper (Maplesoft, Canada)
- Gaston Gonnet (ETH Zurich, Switzerland)
- Michael Monagan (Simon Fraser U., Canada)
- Joel Moses (MIT, USA)
- Peter Paule (RISC Linz, Austria)
- B. David Saunders (U. Delaware, USA)
- David Stoutemyer (Texas Instruments, USA)
- Jan Verschelde (U. Illinois at Chicago, USA)

Call for Papers
---------------

Contributions of original research in areas related to Keith Geddes'
career or of related historical interest (or both) are invited. Extended
