                            Initial Announcement

Overview:

    The International Workshop on Parallel and Symbolic Computation (PASCO)
    is a series of workshops dedicated to the promotion and advancement of
    parallel algorithms and software in all areas of symbolic mathematical
    computation. The pervasive ubiquity of parallel architectures and 
memory
    hierarchy has led to  the emergence of a new quest for  parallel
    mathematical algorithms and software capable of exploiting the various
    levels of parallelism: from hardware acceleration technologies 
(multicore
    and multi-processor system on chip, GPGPU, FPGA) to cluster and global
    computing platforms. To  push up the  limits of symbolic and algebraic
    computations, beyond the optimization of the application itself, the
    effective use of a large number of  resources  --memory  and  general
    or  specialized computing  units-- is expected to enhance the 
performance
    multi-criteria objectives: time, energy consumption, resource usage,
    reliability.  In this context, the design  and the  implementation of
    mathematical algorithms with  provable and adaptive performances is a
    major challenge.

    Earlier  meetings  in the  PASCO series  include  PASCO'94 (Linz, 
Austria),
    PASCO'97 (Maui, U.S.A.), PASCO'07 (London, Canada).
    PASCO 2010 is affiliated with the  2010 International Symposium on 
Symbolic
    and Algebraic Computation (ISSAC) in Munich, Germany.  Immediately 
prior to
    the ISSAC 2010 meeting,  PASCO will be held in Grenoble, France.

    The  workshop  PASCO 2010  will  be  a  three-day event  including 
invited
    presentations and tutorials, contributed research papers and posters.
    Specific topics include, but are not limited to:
    * Design and analysis of parallel algorithms for computer algebra
    * Practical parallel implementation of symbolic or symbolic-numeric
      algorithms
    * High-performance software tools and libraries for computer algebra
    * Applications of high-performance computer algebra
    * Distributed data-structures for computer algebra
    * Hardware acceleration technologies (multi-cores, GPUs, FPGAs) applied
      to computer algebra
    * Cache complexity and cache-oblivious algorithms for computer algebra
    * Compile-time and run-time techniques for automating optimization and
      platform adaptation of computer algebra algorithms

Call for Papers:

    The  conference  invites submission of papers presenting original 
research,
    either in the form of extended abstracts (2 pages) or full papers 
(up to 10
    pages) in ACM format.  As in previous years, PASCO 2010 will publish 
formal
    proceedings of the accepted papers.
