Summer School Open Software for Algebraic and Geometric computation

Summer school on

Open Software for Algebraic and Geometric computation

Sophia Antipolis

5-9 September 2005

Topics:

Our daily research activity involves more and more frequently, the use of specialized tools. This leads some members of our community to develop dedicated and
efficient software, which are often open to the other members of the domain, but which access and use might seem difficult.
The objective of this school is to give the opportunity to present such hight-performance tools, through tutorials and initiation sessions.
These presentations will take the form of 3-hour courses, on Linux workstation, during which each participant will have the possibility to practice and experiment,
under the advices of expert people involved in their development.
This school is particularly devoted to Ph.D.Students and researchers, interested in using or developing open software in the Algebra and Geometry.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of interests, to be addressed during this school:

Shape processing
Topology computation
Meshing
Parameterized and implicit curves and surfaces computation
Symbolic and numeric computation
Polynomial computation
Linear algebra
Differential problems in geometry and algebra.
...

A CDROM including the software and tutorial supports is now available here, as proceedings of this summer school.

Program committee:

Important dates:

Submission for demonstration/tutorial presentation: 15th June.
Acceptance of demo/tutorials: 15th July.
Final version of tutorials: 15th August.
Registrations: (still open until we reach the limit of participants).
