ISSAC, the International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation, is an academic conference in the field of computer algebra. ISSAC has been organized annually since 1988,[http://issac-conference.org/past.php Past ISSAC Conferences] typically in July. The conference is regularly sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery special interest group SIGSAM, and the proceedings since 1989 have been published by ACM.[http://www.sigsam.org/conferences/index.phtml Computer Algebra Conferences] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130808052201/http://www.sigsam.org/conferences/index.phtml |date=2013-08-08 }} listed on the SIGSAM website ISSAC is considered as being one of the most influential conferences for the publication of scientific computing research.[http://www.conferenceranks.com/visualization/msar2014.html?field=Scientific%20Computing&visualization=Bars Conference Ranks]
History
The first ISSAC took place in Rome on 4–8 July 1988. It succeeded a series of meetings held between 1966 and 1987 under the names SYMSAM, SYMSAC, EUROCAL, EUROSAM and EUROCAM.Wester1999 - Computer Algebra Systems -- a practical guide, page 367
ISSAC Awards
- The Richard D. Jenks Memorial Prize for excellence in software engineering applied to computer algebra is awarded at ISSAC every other year since 2004.
- The ISSAC Distinguished Paper Award is awarded at ISSAC since 2002 to authors that display excellence in areas that include, but are not limited to, algebraic computation, symbolic-numeric computation, and system design and implementation.[https://www.sigsam.org/Awards/ISSACAwardGuidelines.html ISSAC Awards Guidelines]
- The ISSAC Distinguished Student Author Award is awarded at ISSAC since 2004 to authors if they were a student at the time their paper was submitted.
