SYNASC aims to stimulate the interaction among multiple communities focusing on defining, optimizing and executing complex algorithms in several application areas. The focus of the conference then ranges from symbolic and numeric computation to formal methods applied to programming, artificial intelligence, distributed computing and computing theory. The interplay between these areas, in fact, is essential in the current scenario where economy and society demand for the development of complex, data intensive, trustable and high performant computational systems.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Regular papers describing fully completed research results (up to 8 pages in the two-columns paper style).
- System descriptions and experimental papers describing implementation results of experimental data, with a link to the reported results (up to 4 pages in the two-columns paper style).
- Work in progress papers describing ongoing work and/or preliminary results (up to 4 pages in the two-columns paper style).
- Short papers describing ongoing work and research challenges of PhD students (up to 4 pages in the two-columns paper style).
