    Travel Information

    Here is information on how to get to Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt, your accommodation, and the symposium.


    Submitting talks and papers

    In addition to the keynote speakers, there is a number of invited lectures devoted to the state of art in systems, tools and methods for mathematical knowledge management. We would also like to accommodate a number of contributed talks from active researchers in the field. Papers can be on any aspect of theory and practice related to automating/formalising mathematics, to Mathematics on the web, to the engineering of Mathematics and any other related topics.

    Each accepted paper will be allocated half an hour presentation and will go through another refereeing process for selection of the papers which will appear in an ENTCS volume dedicated to the symposium, ISBN 044451290X, Elsevier.

    As in previous symposiums and workshops, extended versions of the accepted papers at this symposium, will be fully refereed for consideration in a special issue of an international journal. For this symposium, the journal in question is the journal of Applied Logic by Elsevier.

    Papers on the following non-inclusive list of topics are welcome:

    Please submit up to 20 pages A4 papers describing work in progres or work that is completed but has not been submitted to a conference or journal. All papers must be in latex and all submissions must be in postscript or pdf. Accepted papers will be required in latex at the publishing stage.
