The European SAC Network

Dissemination of knowledge

All the partners have contributed to the setting up of CAIN Europe: The Computer Algebra Information Network (http://www.can.nl).
CAIN Europe is a server on the World-Wide-Web giving the means to easily access various information related to Symbolic and Algebraic Computation.

The following topics can be found in CAIN Europe:

• The News: Electronic newsletters and CAIN's Bulletin Board, where questions, ideas and remarks related to Symbolic and Algebraic Computation can be exchanged.

• Announcements: conferences, software releases, job opportunities and new books.

• Newcomers in Computer Algebra: tutorials and demos.

• Teams and People: Personal Pages and Home Pages of research teams.

• Education: Educational material, Web sites for Mathematics education, curricula, projects, software, journals and electronic newsletters.

• Systems and Packages: Information about more that 110 general-purpose, special-purpose and experimental software.

• Applications: in Artificial Intelligence, Astronomy, Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth Sciences, Economics and Finance, Engineering, Life Sciences, Mathematics and Physics.

• Literature:
  • The BibTex Bibliographic Database to easily access a big bibliographic database in the BibTex format,

  • The Preprints Virtual Database, that disseminates preprints,

  • Proceedings, journals and various bibliographies.

• The Virtual Computer Algebra Library, to help users finding information about a few important topics in Computer Algebra. For each topic, there are hyperlinks pointing towards tutorials, algorithms, software implementations, applications and bibliographies.

CAIN Europe is designed in such a way that the users can easily bring and maintain their contribution via fill-in forms, and easily find the information they are looking for by means of powerful search engines. More about CAIN Europe in the first issue of The SAC Newsletter.

Knowledge and results related to Symbolic and Algebraic Computation are also disseminated via The SAC Newsletter, existing both in paper format and on the World-Wide-Web.
