The announcement is finally out for the next Maple conference.
This takes the place of MSWS, which I believe is now split into
two (or perhaps more) events, one for the west coast, and I think another
one is supposed to happen later this year somewhere on the east coast.
Contact addresses for more information are included towards the end of
the posting.

drive, and advance order Maple V Release 4.
All presentations will be on the use of Maple V and Theorist
in education, academia, industry, physics, engineering,
mathematics, applied sciences, and research and will range
from introductory, intermediate, advanced and expert levels
on the use of Maple V and Theorist. Please see the end of this message
for specific details on each of the conference elements.
The main conference will comprise of: Keynote presentations,
Maple V and Theorist talks from invited speakers, Tutorial
mini-courses, Contributed Paper Sessions, Panel discussions and
Vendor Exhibits.
The keynote speaker is Dr. Tom Casselman, a research
scientist in the R & D Division of Lockheed. His talk will
focus on "Maple V For the Scientist/Engineer - Myth and Reality!"
Please see topics from other invited speakers at the end of this
message.
The majority of the conference will be a series of 75
minute "tutorial mini-courses" in a laboratory setting,
with speakers demonstrating and attendees participating in
a variety of topics ranging from mathematical research,
applied physics, engineering, education, and industrial
applications of Maple V and Theorist. During the conference,
a variety of talks will be presented from which
participants will be able to choose. Special sessions
during the conference will focus on the new features of
Maple V Release 4.
*Call for Papers*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A series of 15 minute contributed paper sessions will also
be offered. Authors of accepted papers for these sessions
will receive a 50% discount on their registration fee and
free housing in the University of the Pacific dormitories,

subject areas. Each session will have a moderator who will
have expertise in the specific field. These sessions
provide an opportunity for participants to ask questions
that only the experts can answer!
Subjects will include:
1. Theorist, with its creator, Allan Bonadio
2. Maple V & Differential Equations Solvers, with Bob Borelli
3. Maple V & 3D Graphics, TBA
