Collaborative Theorem Proving: From Symbolic to Social Computation

Tutorial
---
There will be tutorial lectures on symbolic computation.
Tetsu Yamaguchi and colleagues (Maple Soft)

Scope
---
The purpose of SCSS 2016 is to promote research on theoretical and
practical aspects of symbolic computation in software science. The
symposium provides a forum for active dialog between researchers from
several fields of computer algebra, algebraic geometry, algorithmic
combinatorics, computational logic, and software analysis and verification.

SCSS 2016 solicits regular papers on all aspects of
symbolic computation and their applications in software science. The
topics of the symposium include, but are not limited to the following:

- automated reasoning
- algorithm (program) synthesis and/or verification
- formal methods for the analysis of network and system security
- termination analysis and complexity analysis of algorithms (programs)
- extraction of specifications from algorithms (programs)
- related theorem proving methods and techniques
- proof carrying code
- generation of inductive assertion for algorithm (programs)
- algorithm (program) transformations
- formalization and computerization of knowledge (maths, medicine, economy, etc.)
- component-based programming
- computational origami
- query languages (in particular for XML documents)
- semantic web and cloud computing

Submission
----
Submission is via EasyChair:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scss2016

Submissions of regular research papers are invited. Regular research papers must not exceed 12 pages in the EasyChair LaTeX Class format (www.easychair.org/publications/easychair.zip), with up to 3 additional pages for technical appendices.


Publication
----
The proceedings of SCSS 2016 will be published in the EasyChair Proceedings in Computing (EPiC).

After the symposium, we will have a combined special issue of the Journal of Symbolic Computation on SCSS 2014 & 2016. The full version of selected papers at SCSS 2014 & 2016 will be considered for the publication of the special issue subjected to the normal peer review process of the journal. The submission deadline of the special issue will be 2 months after the symposium.
