Welcome

The 13th GAMM - IMACS International Symposium on Scientific Computing, Computer Arithmetic and Verified Numerical Computations will take place at The University of Texas at El Paso on September 29 - October 3, 2008.

The goal of SCAN 2008 is to advance the frontiers in verified numerical computations, as well as in their application to computational engineering and science.


SCAN Symposia Series

The conference continues the series of international SCAN symposia held under the joint sponsorship of

These symposia have covered the numerical and algorithmic aspects of scientific computing, with a strong emphasis on verification of computed results, as well as on arithmetic, programming, and algorithmic tools for this purpose. Their objectives have been both to propagate current applications and research and to promote a greater understanding and increased awareness of the subject matters.

These symposia have been initiated by the University of Karlsruhe, Germany. They have been held in many cities across the world:

SCAN 2008 strives to become a forum for the researchers of various fields in numerical verification to discuss many existing verification tools and approaches.


Topics of Interest

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:


Meeting Format

The meeting is expected to consist of 10 invited plenary lectures and contributed presentations. Contributed presentations are invited in all areas of interest.

The meeting will be followed by a post-conference workshop.


Invited Plenary Talks


Abstracts

All participants interested in presenting a paper are asked to submit a short LaTeX abstract (300-500 words) by email to
vladik@utep.edu. The deadline for abstract submission is April 30, 2008. The LaTeX sample can be found here. Please use as subject "Abstract for SCAN'2008" and your name.

If you have difficulty using LaTeX, send a plain text (ASCII) file.

Book of Abstracts will be distributed to participants at registration.

Since participants from many countries need a visa to enter the USA, and processing visas takes time, we encourage participants to submit their abstracts as soon as possible, so that we can make acceptance decisions as early as possible.

For more information about U.S. visa policy and procedures, please visit the following links: http://travel.state.gov/ and http://www.unitedstatesvisas.gov/


Post-Conference Proceedings

Peer-refereed post-conference proceedings will appear as a special issue(s) of one or several journals, most probably including Reliable Computing. Detailed information with deadlines will be described later.


Location

Discover a city that stretches the imagination - El Paso, Texas' westernmost city. A city of nearly three-quarters of a million people, which sprawls across hundreds of square miles of desert and rambling foothills. The Franklin Mountains, southern tip of the Rockies, slice El Paso nearly in two. With its classic Western geography and tri-cultural history, El Paso makes an intriguing place to visit.

El Paso is the gateway to Juarez, Mexico (US citizens do not need a visa for a short visit across the border), and to southern New Mexico with such recognized attractions as Fort Bliss, Carlsbad Caverns and White Sands National Memorial.

El Paso's dry, sunny, warm desert climate earned the city the nickname "Sun City".


Venue

The 13th GAMM - IMACS International Symposium on Scientific Computing, Computer Arithmetic and Verified Numerical Computations will take place at The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). Approaching its centennial celebration, UTEP is the second oldest academic component of the University of Texas system. It has over 20,000 students. It is a beautiful and friendly campus with a harmonious and pleasing Bhutanese architecture. Detailed information about UTEP can be found on
the university website
