The 14th SCAN conference will be held under the auspices of
- GAMM: Gesellschaft für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik / International Association for Applied Mathematics and Mechanics
- IMACS: International Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation.
Scope and topics
The SCAN symposia gather researchers in scientific computing who work on the numerical quality and the verification of their computed results.
The scope of the SCAN conferences covers all aspects, from theory to implementation and applications,
with a strong emphasis on verification of computed results, as well as on arithmetic, programming, and algorithmic tools for this purpose.
The contributions provide competent and concise information on recent hardware and software standards, developments in computer arithmetic, self-validating numerical algorithms, stochastic approaches, algebraic approaches,
and applications in various fields.
The goal of the SCAN 2010 conference is to offer a panorama of the techniques and tools used to guarantee numerically computed results. These techniques include, but are not limited to, interval arithmetic, floating-point as specified by the IEEE 754-2008 standard, exact computations, symbolic approaches, formal proof, sensitivity analysis...
