numeric Arith 15 Final Call for Workshop Presentations

[David G Hough arith workshops]

   The 15th IEEE Symposium on Computer Arithmetic will be held on June
   11-13, 2001, in beautiful Vail, Colorado, USA. The program committee
   has accepted a variety of interesting refereed research papers for the
   formal program.

   The formal program will be augmented by informal interactive workshop
   sessions. The format of each workshop session will be two to four
   presentations, of about ten minutes each, with time for discussions.
   These presentations will not be refereed or published; instead,
   prospective presenters are invited to submit one paragraph summaries
   now, and may post position papers on their own web sites when ready,
   or distribute printed position papers at the conference. The current
   tentative schedule of workshop presentations for Tuesday, June 12:

     * 3:45pm - 4:30pm: Advances in Testing and Validation of Commercial
       Arithmetic and Mathematical Functions - hardware or software. The
       emphasis is on what's new and how it was accomplished.

     * 4:30 pm - 5:15 pm: IEEE 754R and Arithmetic Standardization - a
       committee is preparing a proposal for a mostly upward-compatible
       revision of IEEE Standard 754 for Binary Floating-Point
       Arithmetic. What else should be done instead, or in addition? This
       Arith 15 workshop will consist of presentations discussing various
       proposed changes; it's an opportunity for committee members to
       present the current status, for others to present proposals, and
       for conference attendees to respond.

   There is room for a few more presentations. If interested, please
   contact David Hough, arithwsavalidlab.com, immediately.
