Affine Schubert Calculus Workshop: Design and Implementation of Research Tools in MuPAD-Combinat (07w2157)
Organizers
Nicolas M. Thiery (Univ Paris-Sud)
Anne Schilling (University of California, Davis)
Objectives
All the participants of the FRG "Affine Schubert Calculus" and most of the MuPAD-Combinat core developpers will attend the BIRS workshop 07w5048 "Applications of Macdonald Polynomials" on September 10-14 2007. This will therefore be a perfect occasion for our startup meeting where we will focus on deep discussions and code brainstorms about the design, development schedule, implementation, and integration of the required research tools:
- Kac-Moody algebras
- Representation theory (how to interact with GAP for example)
- k-Schur theory
- Integration of external C/C++ programs ...
We hope to host some MuPAD developer as well, in order to further tighten the close collaboration between the MuPAD-Combinat project and the MuPAD team. This is essential to the project: not only is this the occasion to learn best practices and request important new features, but this is the cement for the long term compatibility of the code with new versions of MuPAD.
