DISCO `96 is the fourth edition of an international Symposium aiming at
presenting and discussing new trends in the development of symbolic computation
systems.

The Symposium focuses on innovative methodological and technological aspects of
computing and reasoning in the following areas of symbolic computation:

Algebraic Computation
Automated Reasoning
Geometric Modelling

In particular, contributions are encouraged to present substantial new results
in:

T H E O R E T I C A L A S P E C T S :

Language and specification issues, Abstract data types, Type inference,
Programming paradigms, Reasoning techniques, Integration of computing and
reasoning paradigms, Efficiency and computational issues.

A R C H I T E C T U R E A N D S O F T W A R E E N V I R O N M E N T S :

Parallel and specialized architectures, Software architectures, Software
development tools, User interfaces, Visual and graphic tools.

I M P L E M E N T E D S Y S T E M S :

Reports, evaluation and comparisons of significant innovative running
systems.

S C I E N T I F I C P R O G R A M :

The program will consist of contributed papers selected from the submissions,
panel discussion and four invited lectures:

WOLFGANG BIBEL (Darmstadt):
"Deductive Systems: Performance, Techniques, Applications"
HANS HAUGENEDER (Munich):
"Multi-Agent Systems: Concepts and Applications"
ANTHONY C. HEARN (Santa Monica):
"Computer Algebra and the World Wide Web"
ALBERTO PAOLUZZI (Roma):
"Generative Geometric Modeling in a Functional Environment"

P A P E R S U B M I S S I O N :

Four copies of a one-page abstract and of the full paper (unpublished results,
written in English, not exceeding 15 double-spaced pages) must be received by
the PROGRAM CHAIR by February 19, 1996. Papers can be sent via e-mail (in
poscript, gzip, uuencode form) to the Program Chair at disco96@dis.uniroma1.it

P U B L I C A T I O N :

Accepted papers will be published by Springer Verlag, LNCS-Series, and will be
made available at the Symposium.

D E M O R E Q U E S T :

DISCO `96 offers commercial and academic participants an opportunity to
demonstrate their systems and / or applications. Please announce your intention
to demo to the local organizer by August 1, 1996, and specify precisely what
type of hardware and software you need. We strongly encourage authors of papers
that describe systems or application to accompany their presentation with a
demo.
