The eighth edition of the CoCoA (COmputational COmmutative Algebra) Conference, along with the 3rd edition of the International School on Computer Algebra, will take place at the Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Empresariales, a Faculty of the Universidad de Cádiz, in Cádiz, Spain, the week beginning Sunday, June 1, 2003.
The School will begin on Monday June 2 and end on Thursday morning, June 5. The COCOA Conference will begin on Thursday afternoon and finish at midday on Saturday, June 7.
There will be two main courses (Gregor Kemper: Computational Invariant Theory; Martin Kreuzer: Computing in Multigraded Structures) and one minicourse (Jose María Ucha: Computational Aspects of D-Modules).
For more information, including information about the organizers and support, please see the conference website.
Update 12 Feb: We now have links to practical information about hotels, tourism etc., as well as travel information for getting to and from Cádiz.
Also, we have a list of confirmed speakers and subjects:
- DeLoera, Jesus – Toric Rational Functions and their applications in Combinatorics, Statistics and Optimization
- Kemper, Gregor – Computer Algebra and Invariants
- Kreuzer, Martin – Multigraded Structures in Polynomial Rings
- Parillo, Pablo – Real Algebra and Convex Optimization
- Stillman, Mike – The Algebraic Geometry of Bayesian Networks
- Thomas, Rekha – Simplicial Complexes, Generic Initial Ideals and Combinatorics
- Pfister, Gerhardt – Computer Algebra and Group Theory
Abstracts should be available soon, and information about applying for support will soon be on the conference website.
Update 5 May: The second announcement for COCOA VIII is posted on the CoCoA web page. Among other things, it mentions that there will be a poster session and a demo session at the conference.
Update 20 Sept.There are many photos of the conference (by John Abbott) posted.
