                             Symmetric Functions



It will take place at the RISC institute near Linz from Thursday, June 14 to
Saturday, June 16.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Axiom is a Computer Algebra System with a long tradition.  It recently became
free software, see http://www.axiom-developer.org

The workshop aims at a cooperation of Axiom developers with developers of
packages written for other Computer Algebra Systems, and mathematicians that
would like to use a computer algebra system to perform experiments.

One goal of the workshop is to learn about the mathematical theory, the design
of packages written for other CAS and to make those functionalities available
in Axiom.

If you would like to attend the workshop, please send mail to
<[email protected]>.  There will be time for a very limited number of
contributed talks.  If you would like to give a talk, please send us title and
a short abstract as soon as possible.

There will be no conference fee, but it is expected that participants pay
accommodation and meals themselves.  There is a limited number of rooms
available in Hagenberg for approximately 28 EUR/night including breakfast.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following talks are planned:


François Descouens and Nicolas Thiéry 

         Symmetric functions and Hopf algebras

         Usage and design in MuPAD-Combinat

Bertfried Fauser

         Calculations in character Hopf algebras using SCHUR and Maple

Harald Fripertinger        

         TBA

Axel Kohnert 

         Symmetric functions in MAGMA
