Innovation Week 2025 Day 1: CASC Conference at Plekhanov University in Dubai
24 November 2025
Innovation Week 2025 has officially begun at Plekhanov University in Dubai with the 27th edition of the International Workshop on Computer Algebra in Scientific Computing (CASC).
The CASC conference is an annual and major international research forum that brings globally leading authorities in computer algebra and scientific computing together for a week of advanced academic exchange. This year, the conference is held from 24 to 28 November at Plekhanov University in Dubai.
On behalf of Dr. Svetlana Malkarova, Chairperson of Plekhanov University in Dubai, Dr. Hasan Abu Ezza, Deputy Chairperson for Administrative and Scientific Affairs, opened the conference and welcomed the guests and participants. During the opening remarks, Dr. Abu Ezza gave some background about the university, sharing an overview of its growing academic programs, its research centers, and its commitment to fostering a collaborative, innovation-focused environment for research and education.
Following the registration and opening, participants and guests gathered at the venue for the first day of presentations. The program consisted of eight presentations, split into two sessions exploring a wide range of applications and advancements in symbolic computation and algorithmic mathematics. The first session included the following presentations:
• Arthur C. Norman and Stephen M. Watt: Software Portability for Computer Algebra
• Johnny Joyce and Jan Verschelde: Computing Linear Regions in Neural Networks with Skip Connections
• Leonid Chilikov and Victor Selivanov: Ordered Fields and Grzegorczyk's Hierarchy
The program continued with the second session which included the following presentations:
• Raphael Jolly: Implicit Conversions in the Scala Computer Algebra System
• Katsusuke Nabeshima and Shinichi Tajima: Standard Bases and Noetherian Operators for Zero Dimensional Ideals
• Victor Edneral: Package NORT for Reducing ODE Systems to Normal Form
• Oleg Kovalev, Batgerel Balt, Alexander Gusev, Le Hai Luong, Vladimir Derbov, Ochbadrakh Chuluunbaatar, Sergue Vinitsky and Peiwei Wen: Symbolic Numerical Algorithms for Solving Multidimensional Boundary Value Problems by the Finite Element Method on Hypercubes
• Yuki Ishihara and Kazuhiro Yokoyama: Effective Hilbert's Irreducibility Theorem for Primary Ideals
The CASC conference is organized by the Workshop General Chairs Dr. Francois Boulier and Dr. Timur Sadykov, who is a professor at the main branch of Plekhanov Russian University of Economics in Moscow. Along with them, Dr. Hasan Abu Ezza serves as the Local Organizer for the conference.
The first day’s presentations featured several of the 22 peer-reviewed research papers collected in the 2025 Computer Algebra in Scientific Computing volume published by Springer.
The CASC conference will continue until 28 November, where further developments, applications, and findings in symbolic computation, algorithmic methods, and mathematical modeling will be explored. Alongside it, the Innovation Week at Plekhanov University in Dubai will continue with other activities and workshops focused on research and innovation.
