***************************************************************
MEGA is the acronym for Effective Methods in Algebraic Geometry (and its equivalent in many other languages). This series of biennial international conferences, with a tradition dating back to 1990, is devoted to computational and application aspects of Algebraic Geometry and related topics.
The conference will comprise invited talks, regular contributed talks, presentations of computations, and a poster session; the latter three are subject to a competitive submission process.
Invited speakers:
to be announced.
Important dates:
Deadline for submissions of papers/extended abstracts: December 1, 2018
Notification of acceptance of papers/extended abstracts: February 15, 2019
Deadline for submission of computation presentations/posters: March 10, 2019
Notification of acceptence of computation presentations/posters: April 10, 2019
Submissions: Submissions should contain recent original research relevant to effective methods in algebraic geometry (in a broad sense), including their foundations, analysis, complexity, computational aspects, practical issues and applications.
There are three types of submissions, distributed over the two deadlines above:
– Regular papers, aimed to contributed talks: for these, authors can choose to submit either an extended abstract of at least
four pages (not counting bibliography) that should contain full results, an outline of the proofs and all of the main
ideas; or else a full paper with complete proofs.
– Computation presentations: these can concern new software packages, but also experiments with existing software that
have led to new computational approaches to mathematical proofs/applications relevant to MEGA. Submission should be in the form of a short paper describing the software or computations.
– Posters: to be printed on A1, the posters will be exhibited during most of the conference, and during a poster session the
authors will have the opportunity to discuss their work with the conference participants.
All submissions should clearly state the contributions and achievements, with sufficient detail to understand their
significance.
Submissions may contain material already submitted elsewhere, but this fact has to be stated explicitly in the abstract.
Acceptance of such submissions depends on their special significance for the community.
Acceptance of a submitted contribution means acceptance for oral or poster presentation only. A special issue of a journal is
planned to which authors of accepted original papers will be invited to submit the full version after the conference. Only
original research contributions will be considered for publication in the journal special issue.
The conference is co-organized by Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and Universidad de Alcalá.
