[DMANET] 8th International Congress on Mathematical Software - Call for session proposals

*ICMS 2024 - Durham (United Kingdom), 22-25 July 2024
<https://maths.dur.ac.uk/icms2024/ICMS2024.html> - Call for Session
Proposals*

The *8th International Congress on Mathematical Software* will consist of
several topical sessions. Each session will provide an overview of the
challenges, achievements and progress in a subfield of mathematical
software research, development and use. The program committee will consist
of the session organizers. We solicit session proposals.

For inspiration, have a look at the sessions of past ICMS: ICMS 2020
<http://www.iaa.tu-bs.de/AppliedAlgebra/ICMS2020/ICMS2020_Sessions.html>, ICMS
2018 <https://icms-conference.org/2018/sessions>, ICMS 2016
<https://icms-conference.org/2016/sessions.html>,

*You are invited to propose a session if you*

- are active in mathematical software research, development and use,
- want to serve the research community by nurturing and facilitating
mathematical software work in your area, and
- would like to focus only on the scientific matters in the organization
(not on other matters such as administrative, logistic, etc).

*How to propose a session*

1.

Prepare a session proposal with the following contents.
- title of the session
- name(s) of the organizer(s), with contact addresses and emails
- aim and scope of the session (at most 150 words)
2.

Submit it
- to one of the program chairs: Kevin Buzzard
<https://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/k.buzzard>, Bettina Eick
<http://www.iaa.tu-bs.de/beick/>, Anton Leykin
<https://antonleykin.math.gatech.edu/>
- or to the General Chair: Alicia Dickenstein
<http://mate.dm.uba.ar/~alidick/>
- at latest by *17 November 2023*.
3.

The decision on the proposal will be made
- by the program chair, the general chair and the advisory committee
- by *4 December 2023.*

*How to organize a session*

- Maintain a session web page (see template in html-format
<https://icms-conference.org/2020/icms_session_2020> or markdown-format
<https://icms-conference.org/2020/icms_session_2020.txt>).
- Send a call for short abstracts (about 200 words) to the potential
speakers in the topic area of the session.
- Review the submitted abstracts and make a decision on their
acceptance, as soon as each one arrives.
- Post accepted short abstracts on the session web page.
- Complete the process by 24 February 2024.
- During the meeting: manage the session, and arrange for chair(s) for
each time slot.

Extended abstracts for the *Proceedings *may be submitted via EasyChair (by *16
March 2024*; details TBA) by those who were accepted as speakers in any
session. Session organisers can have papers themselves (acceptance agreed
by an appropriate programme chair).

*Format of a session*

- A session will consist of one or more time slots.
- A time slot will consist of 2 talks (of 25+5 minutes)
- We encourage that each session begins with one general overview talk
(may be given by a session organizer).

"Talks" may also include software presentations. Demos aiming at a wide
audience should be submitted to the Software Fair.

*Possible topics for sessions*

- These are *not* exclusive. You can propose any mathematical topic.
- These are *not* required titles of sessions. You can propose any title.
- These are provided as initial hints for topics and titles.
