Call for Submissions
MEGA is the acronym for Effective Methods in Algebraic Geometry (and
its equivalent in Italian, French, Spanish, German, Russian, etc.),
a series of roughly biennial conferences on computational and
application aspects of Algebraic Geometry and related topics with
very high standards. Previous meetings were held in 1990
(Castiglioncello, Italy), 1992 (Nice, France), 1994 (Santander,
Spain), 1996 (Eindhoven, Nederlands), 1998 (St. Malo, France), 2000
(Bath, United Kingdom), 2003 (Kaiserslautern, Germany), 2005 (Porto
Conte, Italy) and 2007 (Strobl, Austria). As in previous
conferences, we plan to publish selected papers from the conference
in a special issue of the Journal of Symbolic Computation.
Proceedings containing a selection of the papers and invited talks
presented at previous Mega conferences have been published by
Birkhäuser in the series Progress in Mathematics (volumes no. 94,
109 and 143), by the Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra (volumes
no. 117 and 118, 139 and 164) and by the Journal of Symbolic
Computation (volumes no. 39 3-4 and 42 1-2). A Special Issue of the
Journal of Symbolic Computation devoted to selected papers of
MEGA'2007 will soon appear.
MEGA 2009 will be held at the University of Barcelona, Spain.
Submissions
-----------
Submissions should contain recent original research relevant to the topics of the conference. There are two possible modes of submission:
-
Full papers with complete proofs. In this case also an abstract of two to four pages is requested.
-
Extended abstracts of at least four pages containing full results, an outline of the proofs and all of the main ideas.
Submitted contributions to this conference must not have been accepted or be under review by another conference with a published proceedings or by a journal.
Acceptance of a submitted contribution means acceptance for oral presentation only. A Call for Papers for the Conference Proceedings will be announced during (and after) the conference.
For submitting a paper, go to
http://www.imub.ub.es/mega09/contributions.php
and follow the instructions.
