Intelligent Computer Mathematics : 16th Symposium, Calculemus 2009, 8th International Conference, MKM 2009, Held as Part of CICM 2009, Grand Bend, Canada, July 6-12, 2009, Proceedings

As computers and communications technology advance, greater opportunities arise for intelligent mathematical computation. While computer algebra, au- mated deduction and mathematical publishing each have long and successful histories, we are now seeing increasing opportunities for synergy among them. The Conferences on Intelligent Computer Mathematics (cicm 2009) is a c- lection of co-located meetings, allowing researchers and practitioners active in these related areas to share recent results and identify the next challenges. The speci?c areas of the cicm conferences and workshops are described below, but the unifying theme is the computerized handling of mathematical knowledge. The successful formalization of much of mathematics, as well as a better - derstanding of its internal structure, makes mathematical knowledge in many waysmore tractable than generalknowledge,as traditionally treatedin arti?cial intelligence. Similarly, we can also expect the problem of e?ectively using ma- ematical knowledge in automated ways to be much more tractable. This is the goal of the work in the cicm conferences and workshops. In the long view, so- ing the problems addressed by cicm is an important milestone in formulating the next generation of mathematical software.

This book constitutes the joint refereed proceedings of the 16th Symposium on the Integration of Symbolic Computation and Mechanized Reasoning, Calculemus 2009 and the 8th International Conference on Mathematical Knowledge Management, MKM 2009, held in Grand Bend, Canada, as CICM 2009, the Conferences on Intelligent Computer Mathematics.

The 10 revised full papers and 4 invited talks for Calculemus 2009 and 16 revised full papers and 6 short communications for MKM 2009 presented together with 4 joint invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 51 submissions. The papers of Calculemus 2009 cover all aspects of the interplay of mechanized reasoning and computer algebra, as well as the development of integrated systems that transcend both computer algebra and theorem proving. The focus of MKM 2009 lies at the intersection of mathematics and computer science with the goal of developing effective techniques, based on formal mathematics and software technology. The realm of mathematical information is an attractive candidate for testing innovative theoretical and technological solutions for content-based systems, interoperability, management of machine understandable information, and the semantic Web.
