Scope

The ACA conference series is devoted to promoting all manner of computer algebra applications, and encouraging the interaction of developers of computer algebra systems and packages with researchers and users (including scientists, engineers, educators, etc.). Topics include, but are not limited to, computer algebra in the sciences, engineering, medicine, pure and applied mathematics, education and computer science.

Meeting Format

The meeting will be run in the standard ACA format where individuals are invited to organize special sessions (see http://math.unm.edu/aca.html). Individuals can propose a special session by sending an e-mail to aca2013@ctima.uma.es. The ACA working group will decide on the acceptance of proposed sessions. All talk submissions must be directed to an organizer of an appropriate special session. Within each session, talks are traditionally 1/2 hour in length (including time for questions), although hour long expository lectures occasionally occur.

Although the deadline for special session proposals was set for February 28^th, please contact the program chairs if you have a late proposal.

How to submit a talk

The talks are always submitted to session organizers after the announcement of the proposed (and accepted) Special Sessions (see the list of accepted Special Sessions).

One who wants to submit a talk to a Special Session must send by e-mail the following information to a session organizer:

• Title of the talk.
• Name(s) and affiliation(s) of the author(s).
• An abstract of the talk. To aid in the creation of a proceedings for the meeting, please use this LaTeX template for your abstract. (The document generated by this template is located here.) Send a copy of the .tex file and a PDF version of the abstract to the session organizers. If you are not familiar with LaTeX, you may also send a plain text version of your proposal. Proceedings will be published with an ISBN. If your proposal is accepted, your abstract (you may also send, for publishing, to session organizers an extended abstract or short paper of up to 5 pages) will be included in the proceedings. The talk proposals (short or extended abstracts) will be reviewed by the session organizers and they will inform the authors about the acceptance. If acceptance was based on a proposal with short abstract, authors will have till May 25th to submit an extended version, up to 5 pages, to be included in the conference proceedings.

The deadline for talk submissions has been extended to 15 May, 2013.
