Journal of Symbolic Computation
Special Issue on Symbolic Computation in Software Science
2016


Published as volume 90 of the JSC, 2019.

Scope
Symbolic Computation is the science of computing with symbolic objects (terms, formulae, programs, representations of algebraic objects etc.). Powerful symbolic algorithms and methods have been developed during the past decades like computer algebra, theorem proving, automated reasoning, software verification, model checking, rewriting, formalization of mathematics, Groebner bases, characteristic sets, telescoping for recurrence relations, cylindric algebraic decomposition and other quantifier elimination techniques, etc.
The purpose of this special issue is to promote research on theoretical and practical aspects of symbolic computation in software science. The special issue is related to the topics of the International Symposium on Symbolic Computation in Software Science: SCSS 2014 and SCSS 2016. It will be published by Elsevier within the Journal of Symbolic Computation.
Participants of the SCSS 2014 and SCSS 2016 symposia, as well as other authors are invited to submit contributions.

Examples of Topics

This special issue solicits papers on all aspects of symbolic computation and their applications in software sciences. The topics include, but are not limited to the following:


Submission Guidelines
This special issue welcomes original high-quality contributions that have been neither published in nor simultaneously submitted to any journals or refereed conferences. Submissions will be peer-reviewed using the standard refereeing procedure of the Journal of Symbolic Computation.
Authors of papers presented at the SCSS 2014 and SCSS 2016 symposia are welcome and encouraged to submit extended and revised versions of their papers. Furthermore, submissions of papers that are in the scope of SCSS, but did not appear in SCSS 2014 and SCSS 2016 are welcome as well.
Submitted papers must be in English and include a well written introduction explicitly addressing the following questions in succinct and informal manner:
The submissions should be complete (since there is no rigid page limit):
Submissions originated from the papers presented at the symposium should address all the feedback from the symposium's referee process and Q/A.

Submission
Please prepare your submission in LaTeX using the JSC document format from: http://www4.ncsu.edu/~hong/jsc.htm (link to the submission template: JSC LaTeX.)
Submission is via the EasyChair submission site at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jscscss2016.
Remark. The submission page above replaces the standard JSC submission for this special issue. Authors do not need to nominate journal board members to handle their submission.
