        Notification of acceptance: 11   Feb 2002

        Conference:                 8-10 Apr 2002
        

The aim of the symposia on "Real Numbers and Computers" is to bring
together specialists from various research areas, all concerned with
problems related to computations based on real numbers, whether these
take place in a finite precision arithmetic based on floating point
number representations, or through possibly exact computations as
supported through various software packages realizing other number
representations. But also fundamental questions like computability and
complexity, foundations of number systems, as well as the engineering
of algorithms for the implementation of basic arithmetic operations
and computation of standard functions are important topics discussed
during these conferences.

This meeting continued the series of conferences started on French
initiative with a first meeting in Saint-Etienne, April 1995,
continuing in Marseilles, April 1996, Paris, April 1998, and Dagstuhl,
April 2000, changing to a two-year interval to interleave with the
bi-annual IEEE Symposia on Computer Arithmetic.

Topics covered (but not limited to):

    Algorithms and architectures for  "serial" and "on line"
    arithmetic.

    Relations between number theory, automata theory  and computer
    arithmetic.

    Number systems

    Floating point arithmetic

    Computability

    Symbolic manipulation of numbers 

    Algorithms for "exact" computing

    Multi-precision, interval arithmetic, stochastic arithmetic.

    Accuracy problems in  various fields (geometry, physics,...), and
    proposed solutions.
