Dear Forum, I hope it's OK to use this forum to advertize the following call for papers on algorithmic and applied aspects of algebraic topology (including group theory).
Graham School of Mathematics, Statistics and Applied Mathematics National University of Ireland, Galway http://hamilton.nuigalway.ie CALL FOR PAPERS APPLICABLE ALGEBRA IN ENGINEERING, COMMUNICATION AND COMPUTING SPECIAL ISSUE ON COMPUTER ALGEBRA IN ALGEBRAIC TOPOLOGY AND ITS APPLICATIONS Guest Editors: Graham Ellis, Eduardo Sáenz-de-Cabezón Algebraic Topology is an area of pure mathematics with deep algebraic, geometric and topological roots. Advances in computer science, particularly in symbolic computation and manipulation, have increased the computability of the concepts of algebraic topology to an extent that they are now increasingly finding real life applications in areas such as data analysis, dynamical systems, robotics, computer vision, communications, large scale networks, concurrent computation, comparative genomics and many other areas. This special issue is devoted to papers on potential and actual applications of algebraic topology as well as to papers on computational techniques and problems related to algorithmic algebraic topology. Contributions are welcome on: - Potential applications of algebraic topology in mathematics, computer science,physics, engineering, industry, communications, business and other areas. - Actual applications of algebraic topology. - All computational aspects of algebraic topology. Fields of application include but are not restricted to: Coding theory Combinatorics Commutative algebra Computer science, including algorithms and distributed computing Data analysis Differential systems Digital images Discrete and computational geometry Dynamical systems Electromagnetism Effective homology Graph theory Group theory Medical sciences Persistent homology Physics Reliability theory Robotics Statistics Paper submissions should follow the guidelines for AAECC submissions, see http://www.springer.com/computer/theoretical+computer+science/journal/200 Submissions can be sent to either of the editors: Graham Ellis, graham.el...@nuigalway.ie Eduardo Sáenz-de-Cabezón, eduardo.saenz-de-cabe...@unirioja.es All the papers will be refereed according to the AAECC standards. DEADLINE: January 3, 2011 _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@mail.gap-system.org http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
