October 10: Linear Algebra (chair Clement Pernet)
- Invited speakers:
  - Arne Storjohann:Algorithms for linear algebra on polynomial and integer matrices: similarities and differences Storjohann_SD10_talk.pdf
  - Jean-Guillaume Dumas:Simultaneous Modular Reduction and Kronecker Substitution for Small Finite Fields Dumas_SD10_talk.pdf
  Contributing speakers:
  - Martin Albrecht: Matrix multiplication over GF(2) in the M4RI library Martin_Albrecht_Matmul_M4RI.pdf
  - Gregory Bard : Using Graph Theory to Control Fill-in for Sparse Matrix Reduction to RREF over Fields of non-zero characteristic Bard_SD10_talk.pdf
  - Robert Miller: An example of implementing automorphism groups: linear codes (cancelled due to illness)
October 11: Elliptic Curves (chair Laurent Fousse)
- Invited speakers:
  - John Cremona: Elliptic Curves in Sage John_Cremona_talk.pdf
    - This talk will give a survey of Sage's capabilities for computations with elliptic curves, including some recent developments and a wish-list of possible future developments.
  - David Lubicz: Computing modular correspondences for abelian varieties (with Jean-Charles Faugère) David_Lubicz_talk.pdf
  Contributing speakers:
  - Nadia El Mrabet: Implementing the Weil, Tate and Ate pairings using Sage slides_ELMRABET_sage.pdf
October 11: Sage-Combinat (chair Nicolas Thiery) (follows the Elliptic Curves session)
- The purpose of the *-Combinat project is to provide an extensible toolbox for computer exploration in algebraic combinatorics, and foster code sharing between researchers in this area. We will present the history, features, and design of MuPAD-Combinat, and discuss the timeline, difficulties, but also great technical and community opportunities that arise from the ongoing port as Sage-Combinat.
- Invited Speakers:
  - Florent Hivert and Nicolas Thiéry: *-Combinat: Sharing Algebraic Combinatorics since 2000
  Contribution speakers:
  - Mike Hansen: Decomposable Objects and combinatorial species mhansen-species.pdf
  - Robert Miller: Partition Refinement for Classification Miller_SD10_talk.pdf
  - Franco Saliola: Posets and words in Sage-Combinat saliola-sd10-talk.pdf
October 12: Groebner Bases (chair Ludovic Perret)
- Invited speakers:
  - Carlo Traverso: Groebner bases, lattices and cryptography TalkTraverso.pdf
  - Éric Schost: Computing with triangular families of polynomials: an overview Sage08Eric.pdf
  Contributing speakers:
  - B. Erocal : SCrypt: Symbolic computation assists algebraic cryptanalysis erocal_scrypt_sd10.pdf
  - M. Brickenstein : Secrets of Singular and PolyBoRi brickenstein_secrets.pdf
    - This talk presents techniques for Gröbner bases calculations implemented in the computer algebra system Singular and the
      PolyBoRi framework. I will consider
      - data structures
      - algorithms
      and give application examples, show their structure and explain how to exploit it.
  - Guénaël Renault: Computation of the Triangular Representation of a Splitting Field TalkRenault.pdf
