Scope

The purpose of SCSS 2013 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 2013 solicits both regular and tool 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 security
• termination analysis and complexity analysis of algorithms (programs)
• extraction of specifications from algorithms (programs)
• 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://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scss2013.

Submissions are invited in two categories: regular research papers and tool papers.

• Regular research papers must not exceed 12 pages in the EasyChair Class format, with up to 3 additional pages for technical appendices.
• Tool papers must not exceed 6 pages in the EasyChair Class format.

Publication

The proceedings of SCSS 2013 will be published as a RISC technical report. After the symposium, authors of accepted papers at SCSS 2013 will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper to the special issue of the Journal of Symbolic Computation on SCSS. Submitted papers to the JSC special issue will undergo an additional reviewing.
