FIRST CALL FOR SHORT COMMUNICATIONS AND SOFTWARE PRESENTATIONS
ISSAC 2026 International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation
July 13- 17, 2026 Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, Germany https://www.issac-conference.org/2026/
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation is thepremier conference for research in symbolic computation and computeralgebra. ISSAC 2026 will be the 51st meeting in the series, whichstarted in 1966 and has been held annually since 1981. The conferencepresents a range of invited talks, tutorials, short communications(posters), software demonstrations, and vendor exhibits with acenterpiece of contributed research papers.
ISSAC 2026 will be held from July 13 to 17, 2026, at Oldenburg, Germany.
The short communications session at ISSAC is a venue to announce earlyresearch results or ongoing projects that might not yet be complete.Short communications reporting on recent work published, accepted, orsubmitted elsewhere are also welcome (with original publications clearly referenced). The short communication submission will be in the form of an extended abstract (see details below). At the conference, short communications will be presented in the form of a poster session. Authors are encouraged to create their posters on a single large A0 sheet.
The software presentation sessions at ISSAC are opportunities todemonstrate and communicate about new implementations of algorithms insymbolic and algebraic computation. Of relevance are presentations fornew software, new packages, or new developments that present someoriginality or improved performance compared to the state of the art.
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract in PDF format of nomore than 4 pages. The abstracts will be reviewed by the short communications and software committees and relevant experts when needed.The review criteria are content, originality, style, and relevance.
The accepted short communication and software abstracts will be published in an upcoming issue of the ACM SIGSAM Communications in Computer Algebra.

Topics------
All areas of computer algebra and symbolic mathematical computation areof interest. These include, but are not limited to:
Algorithmic aspects:
* Exact and symbolic linear, polynomial and differential algebra
* Symbolic-numeric, homotopy, perturbation and series methods
* Computational algebraic geometry, polynomial and semialgebraicoptimization
* Computational group theory and number theory, quantifier eliminationand logic
* Computer arithmetic
* Summation, recurrence equations, integration, solution of ODEs & PDEs
* Symbolic methods in other areas of pure and applied mathematics
* Complexity of algebraic algorithms and algebraic complexity
Software aspects:
* Design of symbolic computation packages and systems
* Language design and type systems for symbolic computation
* Data representation
* Considerations for modern hardware
* Algorithm implementation and performance tuning
* Mathematical user interfaces
* Use with systems such as digital libraries, courseware, simulation andoptimization, automated theorem-proving, computer-aided design, andautomatic differentiation
Application aspects:
* Applications that stretch the current limits of computer algebra algorithms or systems, use computer algebra in new areas or new ways, or apply it in situations with broad impact.
Satellite Workshops/Conferences:
* The organizing committee of ISSAC 2026 invites proposals for Satellite Events aimed at enriching the conference program, attracting a broader audience, and promoting new developments and original research results in all areas of symbolic mathematical computation.
Current Satellite Events:* Satisfiability Checking and Symbolic Computation Workshop 2026: https://www.sc-square.org/CSA/workshop11.html
* Applications that stretch the current limits of computer algebraalgorithms or systems, use computer algebra in new areas or new ways, orapply it in situations with broad impact.
