SYNASC 2026 - First Call for Papers
28th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing
September 14-17, 2026, Timisoara, Romania
=== 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
=== Important Dates ===
March 15, 2026 (AoE) : Proposals for workshops, special sessions, tutorials
May 15, 2026 (AoE) : Paper submission for main tracks
June 15, 2026 (AoE) : Paper submission for workshops and special sessions
July 25, 2025 (AoE) : Notification of acceptance
September 14-17, 2026 : Symposium
November 16, 2026 : Camera-ready papers for post-proceedings
=== Program Chairs ===
Mircea Marin, West University of Timisoara, Romania
* Peter Csaba Ölveczky, University of Oslo, Norway
=== Tracks ===
Symbolic Computation
* Numerical Computing
* Logic and Programming
* Distributed Computing
* Artificial Intelligence
* Theory of Computing
=== Invited Speakers ===
Temur Kutsia, Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria
* Markus Roggenbach, University of Swansea, UK
* Grigore Rosu, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA
* 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 IEEE 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 IEEE
two-column paper style).
Short papers describing ongoing work, preliminary results, and/or
research challenges of PhD students (up to 4 pages in IEEE 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. See https://synasc.ro/2026/special-sessions/ for
details.
=== 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. See https://synasc.ro/2026/workshops/ for details.
=== 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.
See https://synasc.ro/2026/tutorials/ for details.
