		STUDIES IN COMPUTER ALGEBRA FOR INDUSTRY

			NOVEMBER 5 - 6, 1992, AMSTERDAM

This seminar is a successor of SCAFI '91, which was the first seminar to be 
dedicated to case studies of the use of computer algebra in industry. The 
central theme will be to show how computer algebra in industry can be useful 
and cost effective. The focal point will consist of approximately eight case 
studies of applications of computer algebra in industry. The cases have been 
developed by (or in collaboration with) European companies of diverse origins, 
and will be presented by people involved with the subject. 

Organised by: Computer Algebra Netherlands in collaboration with ERCIM.

Course director: Prof. dr. A. Cohen

Organising committee: Dr. L.J. van Gastel, Drs. A.J.P. Heck
