International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation


ISSAC, the International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation, is an academic conference in the field of computer algebra. ISSAC has been organized annually since 1988, typically in July. The conference is regularly sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery special interest group SIGSAM, and the proceedings since 1989 have been published by ACM. ISSAC is considered as being one of the most influential conferences for the publication of scientific computing research.
