Fwd: Conference/workshop on "Industrial Applications and Prospects of Computer Algebra"

[Martin Albrecht]

Hi there,

I just received this e-mail about a computer algebra conference in Germany in
2010.

The bottomline:
> So let me kindly ask if you/your company/organisation basically would be
> interested to contribute to this event, in terms of talks, exhibitions, or
> financial support.

It sounds like it could be fun and useful.

Cheers,
Martin

PS: Harald, did you also receive this? I guess I received it because of our
article in the Computer Algebra Rundbrief.

Dear Mr Albrecht,

As you certainly know, the expert group "Computer Algebra" is an initiative of
the German Association for Computer Science (Gesellschaft für Informatik, GI),
the German Mathematical Association (Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung, DMV)
and the Association for Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (Gesellschaft für
Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, GAMM). Its goal is to promote teaching,
research, development, communication and collaboration within the area of
Computer Algebra Systems in Germany.

The board of the expert group intends to organize a conference/workshop on
Industrial Applications and Prospects of Computer Algebra in 2010. The goal is

- to bring together the different stakeholders,
- to point out the strengths of such systems for industrial applications, and
- to outline directions for future product development and research.

In order to carry this out, we want to provide, by means of the conference, a
communication platform between three communities:

- Providers of CA systems,
- Software users, preferably from industry,
- Researchers from universities.

In fact, the providers play a central role for this concept, as they
constitute the entity which makes results from basic reseach usable for the
application. So let me kindly ask if you/your company/organisation basically
would be interested to contribute to this event, in terms of talks,
exhibitions, or financial support.

After contacting you as a provider, our next step will be to contact users of
CA systems. It would be very helpful for this endeavor if you can point
selected "key" customers/applicants of your CA systems out to us, preferably
from industry, which might be interested to contribute also.

Thank you in advance for your kind cooperation,

Michael Hofmeister

So, does anyone around here want to give a talk or an exhibition or something
at this conference by the Fachgruppe Computeralgebra in Germany? I think a
quick 'I might be interested' would suffice. I can also ask for more details
if that is what is required.

Cheers,
Martin

I might be interested.
But I don't feel I can talk to industrials about Sage yet.

I'm interested.
This might be useful for Sage in several ways: New contacts in Germany
(roughly #2 in the stats), improve our skills of communicating Sage:
http://groups.google.com/group/sage-marketing (poster, fact sheet,
stickers, etc.) and it's an additional "selling point" for Sage to be
represented at an event with industry background.

Hi,

while I am in principle interested too, I can't really commit to take care of
this at the moment. Harald and Serge, if you don't mind I will put you in
contact with Michael Hofmeister so that you guys can work out the details?

Same here.

It would be good to learn at least

- possible dates
- if they regard Sage as a company (and will ask us to pay to set up a
booth)
- can they provide funding for some Sage people to attend, or do we
need to sort that out ourselves?

I'd be happy to help out with the booth and talks when the time comes.

Thanks.

Burcin
