----------------------------------------------------------------------
As computers and communications technology advance, greater opportunities arise for intelligent mathematical computation. While computer algebra, automated deduction, mathematical publishing and novel user interfaces individually have long and successful histories, we are now seeing increasing opportunities for synergy among these areas. CICM 2014 offers a venue to discuss these areas and their synergy.
The conference will take place at the University of Coimbra, Portugal, and consists of four tracks:
* Calculemus, Chair: James Davenport
* Digital Mathematical Libraries (DML), Chair: Petr Sojka
* Mathematical Knowledge Management (MKM), Chair: Josef Urban
* Systems and Projects, Chair: Alan Sexton
As in previous years, there will be a Doctoral Programme for the mentoring of Doctoral students and several co-located workshops.
* MathUI 2014: Mathematical User Interfaces * OpenMath Workshop 2014 * The Notion of Proof 2014 * ThEdu 2014: TP Components for Educational Software * Doctoral Programme
All of these are now accepting contributions. Please see the web site for their calls for submissions.
The overall programme is organised by the General Program Chair Stephen Watt.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- CICM Invited Talks ----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Yves Bertot, INRIA A naive view of homotopy type theory and its relation to the calculus of constructions
* Jaime Carvalho e Silva, U Coimbra What international studies say about the importance and limitations of using computers to teach mathematics in secondary schools
* Antonio Leal Duarte, U Coimbra [Joint Speaker with ADG 2014] Teaching Tiles

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Work-in-Progress Call-for-Papers ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Work-in-progress submissions are intended to provide a forum for the presentation of original work that is not (yet) in a suitable form for submission as a full or system description paper. This includes work in progress and emerging trends. Papers may be on any CICM topic, including those from Calculemus, DML, MKM and Systems and Projects.
Accepted work-in-progress papers will be presented at the conference as short teaser talks and as posters. The work-in-progress proceedings will be published digitally in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings series (CEUR-WS.org).
WiP papers should be prepared in LaTeX and formatted according Springer's LNCS series (the corresponding style files can be downloaded from http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Papers should be between 5 and 10 pages in length.
By submitting a paper the authors agree that if it is accepted at least one of the authors will attend the conference to present it.

========== Calculemus ==========
Calculemus 2014 invites the submission of original research contributions to be considered for publication and presentation at the conference. Calculemus is a series of conferences dedicated to the integration of computer algebra systems (CAS) and systems for mechanised reasoning like interactive proof assistants (PA) or automated theorem provers (ATP). Currently, symbolic computation is divided into several (more or less) independent branches: traditional ones (e.g., computer algebra and mechanised reasoning) as well as newly emerging ones (on user interfaces, knowledge management, theory exploration, etc.) The main concern of the Calculemus community is to bring these developments together in order to facilitate the theory, design, and implementation of integrated mathematical assistant systems that will be used routinely by mathematicians, computer scientists and all others who need computer-supported mathematics in their every day business.
All topics in the intersection of computer algebra systems and automated reasoning systems are of interest for Calculemus. These include but are not limited to:
* Automated theorem proving in computer algebra systems. * Computer algebra in theorem proving systems. * Adding reasoning capabilities to computer algebra systems. * Adding computational capabilities to theorem proving systems. * Theory, design and implementation of interdisciplinary systems for computer mathematics. * Case studies and applications that involve a mix of computation and reasoning. * Case studies in formalization of mathematical theories. * Representation of mathematics in computer algebra systems. * Theory exploration techniques. * Combining methods of symbolic computation and formal deduction. * Input languages, programming languages, types and constraint languages, and modeling languages for mathematical assistant systems. * Homotopy type theory. * Infrastructure for mathematical services.
=== DML ===
Mathematicians dream of a digital archive containing all peer-reviewed mathematical literature ever published, properly linked, validated and verified. It is estimated that the entire corpus of mathematical knowledge published over the centuries does not exceed 100,000,000 pages, an amount easily manageable by current information technologies.
Track objective is to provide a forum for development of math-aware technologies, standards, algorithms and formats towards fulfillment of the dream of global digital mathematical library (DML). Computer scientists (D) and librarians of digital age (L) are especially welcome to join mathematicians (M) and discuss many aspects of DML preparation.
Track topics are all topics of mathematical knowledge management and digital libraries applicable in the context of DML building -- processing of math knowledge expressed in scientific papers in natural languages, namely:
* Math-aware text mining (math mining) and MSC classification * Math-aware representations of mathematical knowledge * Math-aware computational linguistics and corpora * Math-aware tools for [meta]data and fulltext processing * Math-aware OCR and document analysis * Math-aware information retrieval * Math-aware indexing and search * Authoring languages and tools * MathML, OpenMath, TeX and other mathematical content standards * Web interfaces for DML content * Mathematics on the web, math crawling and indexing * Math-aware document processing workflows * Archives of written mathematics * DML management, business models * DML rights handling, funding, sustainability * DML content acquisition, validation and curation
=== MKM ===
Mathematical Knowledge Management is an interdisciplinary field of research in the intersection of mathematics, computer science, library science, and scientific publishing. The objective of MKM is to develop new and better ways of managing sophisticated mathematical knowledge, based on innovative technology of computer science, the Internet, and intelligent knowledge processing. MKM is expected to serve mathematicians, scientists, and engineers who produce and use mathematical knowledge; educators and students who teach and learn mathematics; publishers who offer mathematical textbooks and disseminate new mathematical results; and librarians and mathematicians who catalog and organize mathematical knowledge.
The conference is concerned with all aspects of mathematical knowledge management. A non-exclusive list of important topics includes:
* Representations of mathematical knowledge * Authoring languages and tools * Repositories of formalized mathematics * Deduction systems * Mathematical digital libraries * Diagrammatic representations * Mathematical OCR * Mathematical search and retrieval * Math assistants, tutoring and assessment systems * MathML, OpenMath, and other mathematical content standards * Web presentation of mathematics * Data mining, discovery, theory exploration * Computer algebra systems * Collaboration tools for mathematics * Challenges and solutions for mathematical workflows
==================== Systems and Projects ====================
The Systems and Projects track of the Conferences on Intelligent Computer Mathematics is a forum for presenting available systems and new and ongoing projects in all areas and topics related to the CICM conferences:
* Deduction and Computer Algebra (Calculemus) * Digital Mathematical Libraries (DML) * Mathematical Knowledge Management (MKM)
The track aims to provide an overview of the latest developments and trends within the CICM community as well as to exchange ideas between developers and introduce systems to an audience of potential users.
