SYNASC 2026 - First 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.

In this context, we invite:
* paper submissions
* special session proposals
* satellite workshop proposals
* tutorial proposals

=== Program Chairs ===

* Peter Csaba Ölveczky, University of Oslo, Norway
* Mircea Marin, West University of Timisoara, Romania

=== Tracks ===

* Symbolic Computation
* Numerical Computing
* Logic and Programming
* Distributed Computing
* Artificial Intelligence
* Theory of Computing

=== Invited Speakers ===
(the list will be extended)
* Temur Kutsia, Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria
* Markus Roggenbach, University of Swansea, UK

* Nicu Sebe, University of Trento, Italy

=== 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

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

=== Special Sessions ===

Proposals are invited for special sessions on any topic relevant to the conference. Special sessions are intended to stimulate in-depth discussions in special areas, and they are fully integrated into the main conference.
For details, see https://synasc.ro/2026/special-sessions/

=== Workshops ===

Proposals for satellite workshops are also invited. The satellite workshops should have topics related to SYNASC, but the scientific program of each satellite workshop is managed by the workshop organizers.
For details, see https://synasc.ro/2026/workshops/

=== Tutorials ===

Proposals for tutorials are also invited. Tutorials provide fundamental exposure to topics ranging from introductory to advanced. The number and the duration of the tutorials will be decided by the tutorial chair under the supervision of the general chair.
