The institute RISC-Linz of
the Johannes Kepler Universität
in Linz,
Austria,
will organize a Special Year on Gröbner Bases, from March 1997
until February 1998. The goals are
The special year activities will be open to all graduate students and researchers working or having interest in the Gröbner bases method. We are working for partial support of a limited number of participants. Researchers on sabbatical and/or leave of absence are encouraged to get into contact with us.
Besides increased activities in seminars and colloquia, there will be two main activities during the Special Year on Gröbner Bases: an intensive course for graduate students taught by members of RISC-Linz and invited speakers, and a conference devoted to the theory and practice of Gröbner bases.
From January 12 until January 30, 1998, we will organize and teach an intensive course on Gröbner bases. The goal of this course is to provide a thorough introduction to Gröbner bases. Topics that will be relevant to this course include:
The course will be taught by Bruno Buchberger and Franz Winkler from RISC-Linz together with guest lecturers from other institutes (names will be announced soon). Participants in the course are expected to have a good basic understanding of algebra and some knowledge in computer programming.
In February 2--4, 1998, RISC-Linz will organize a 3-day conference on Gröbner bases. A call for papers will be issued early next year. Franz Winkler will act as the chairman of the program committee. Topics of the conference include
In addition to the regular program of the conference we plan to organize a software exhibition.
Accepted presentations at the conference will be published in a proceedings volume in ``Texts and Monographs in Symbolic Computation'', the RISC-Linz book series published by Springer-Verlag Wien New York.
The site of all events during the Special Year on Gröbner Bases will be the medieval Castle of Hagenberg, the home of RISC-Linz.
