    Contributing speakers:
    • B. Erocal : SCrypt: Using Symbolic Computation to Bridge the Gap Between Algebra and Cryptography

    • M. Brickenstein : Secrets of Singular and PolyBoRi

      • 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.

    • [http://www-calfor.lip6.fr/~renault/index.html G. Renault]

• October 13-15: Coding Sprints (chair Michael Abshoff)

Each "talk" day (October 10 to 12) typically has 2 invited speakers, who are specialists in the corresponding domain, not necessarily already in contact with SAGE, and 3 contributed speakers, who typically describe a SAGE module (or a proposal of).

The SAGE Days 10 dinner will take place on the 11th.
