      International Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation
                  Conference on Applications of Computer Algebra*

Aston Wailea Resort
Maui, Hawaii, USA
July 24-26, 1997

General Chair:      Michael Wester   (wester@math.unm.edu)
Program Chairs:     Jacques Calmet   (calmet@ira.uka.de)
                    Vladimir Gerdt   (gerdt@jinr.dubna.su)
Local Arrangements: Stanly Steinberg (stanly@math.unm.edu)
                    Nicolas Robidoux (mia@math.unm.edu)

The meeting will focus on actual or possible applications of nontrivial
computer algebra techniques to other fields and substantial interactions of
computer algebra with other fields.

For more information, see:
          http://math.unm.edu/ACA/1997.html
or contact one of the above organizers.

NOTE: PASCO'97 and ISSAC'97 will be held just previous to this meeting
(July 20-22 and July 21-23, respectively) also at the Aston Wailea Resort.

Meeting Format:

The meeting will be run in the standard IMACS format where individuals are
invited to organize a special session.  Individuals can propose a special
session by contacting the program chairs.  All paper submissions must be
directed to an organizer of an appropriate special session, which will be
listed at the web site.
