SYNASC 2026 - Second Call for Papers

28th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing

September 14-17, 2026, Timisoara, Romania

https://synasc.ro/2026/

=== Aim ===

SYNASC aims to stimulate interaction among multiple communities focusing on defining, optimising, and executing complex algorithms in several application areas. The focus of the conference 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 the economy and society demand for the development of complex, data-intensive, trustworthy, and high-performance computational systems.

=== Submission ===

All papers must contain original research results and should not be submitted or published elsewhere. There are three categories of submissions:
* Regular papers describing fully completed research results (up to 8 pages in the two-column paper style).
* System descriptions and experimental papers describing software prototypes, results of simulations, or experimental data analysis, with a link to the reported results (up to 8 pages in the two-column paper style).

* Short papers describing ongoing work, preliminary results, and/or research challenges of PhD students (up to 4 pages in the two-column paper style).

The papers should be submitted electronically through https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=synasc2026

Research papers accepted and presented at the symposium will be collected as a post-proceedings, published after the conference by Conference Publishing Service (CPS), and submitted for indexing in ISI Web of Science, DBLP, SCOPUS. For all accepted papers, at least one author is required to register for the conference and present the paper.
