[DMANET] ISSAC 2011 at FCRC: early registration ends TODAY

Dear colleagues,

This year ISSAC has joined the Federated Computing Research Conference
(FCRC) for the first time. The ISSAC organization encourages you to
participate and enjoy the experience of FCRC, with its plenary talks
and the energy of over a dozen top research conferences in one place.
Because registration for one conference allows admission to all other
conferences on those days, you have the privilege of sampling other
conferences. In turn, the computer algebra community has the unique
opportunity to show off its best to curious researchers in related
fields. Please share this last call for early registration with your
colleagues. We hope to see you in San Jose.
