Workshop on Problem-Solving Environments: Findings and Recommendations.

In April, 1991, the National Science Foundation organized a workshop on research directions in integrating numerical analysis, symbolic computing, computational geometry, and artificial intelligence for computational science. This workshop crystallized the concept of a problem-solving environment (PSE). A complete workshop report is given in Gallopoulos et al. [1992] and a related overview of problem-solving environments is given in Gallopoulos et al. [1994]. The participants were Kamal Abdali, Charles Brownstein, Bob Caviness, Grant Cook, André Deprit, Joseph Flaherty, Dennis Gannon, Keith Geddes, Luddy Harrison, Christoph M. Hoffmann, Moyyad Hussain, David J. Kuck, Cleve Moler, David II. Padua, James I. Phillips, Allan Robinson, Jacob T. Schwartz, Siu Shing Tong, Joseph Tribbia, Paul Wang, and the authors. In the following we summarize the findings and recommendations of this workshop. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
