The European SAC Network

Objective of the SAC Network - Summary

The central objective of the SAC network is to create a platform on which the various activities of Symbolic and Algebraic Computation can be successfully integrated.
Different aspects of this objective are:

• to train young scientists to the interdisciplinary skills needed for such an integration.

• to make Symbolic and Algebraic Computation more useful for applications.

• to integrate theoretical research and software development, by giving an organizational frame for carrying out big and integrated projects that are beyond the manpower of single research groups.

• to disseminate in an efficient manner knowledge and results, via a distributed information system and workshops, the participants acting as distribution points to other SAC-groups in the region.

• to encourage and stimulate applications and to make sure that there is feedback from the application side to designers and theorists.

• to stimulate new research in mathematics, computer science and applications.

The goals of the SAC network are essentially precompetitive: making Symbolic and Algebraic Computation operational implies that an essential tool for progress is developed, which can be applied to obtain marketable products and processes.
