     During the last few years we have notice an increasing
number in the applications of computer algebra techniques and
systems to investigate technological problems. Applications can
be seen in fields like:
 
-- Aerodynamics
-- Bifurcation phenomena in condensed-phase surface combustion
-- Elasticity
-- Eletronics
-- Fluid mechanics
-- Information management systems
-- Kinetics and mechanical systems
-- Microwave technology
-- Nonlinear control systems
-- Robotics
-- Etc...
 
   The motivation of this special session is: i) to provide a
forum to discuss new results and contributions in this domain,
ii) to promote the exchange of ideas, iii) to stimulate
collaborations and development of joint projects,  and iv) to a
great extent, to attract industrial partners.
 
   Those that are interested in attending and submitting a paper
to this session please forward an email to roque@mat.ufrgs.br.
   
   A preliminary (incomplete) list of potential speakers is
given below. The names suggested have made no commitment to
attend the conference.
