ISSAC is the yearly premier international symposium in Symbolic and Algebraic Computation. It provides an opportunity to learn of new developments and to present original research results in all areas of symbolic mathematical computation. Planned activities include invited presentations, research papers, poster sessions, tutorial courses, vendor exhibits and software demonstrations.
ISSAC 2006 will be held from July 9 to 12 in Genoa, Italy.
The ISSAC 2006 web site is http://issac2006.dima.unige.it/.

The Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica (INdAM) will sponsor a Workshop on Commutative Rings, June 4-10, 2006, in Cortona, Italy. The aim of the Workshop is to bring together researchers in the area of commutative ring theory.
The main emphasis will be on factorization and divisibility properties, decomposition of ideals, class groups; multiplicative ideal and module systems, star and semistar operations, Gabriel-Popescu localizing systems; Prüfer domains and their generalizations; Krull and Mori domains; integer valued polynomials; chain conditions and prime spectra; analytically irreducible one-dimensional rings and their value semigroups; one-dimensional Noetherian rings and algebroid curves.
Young researchers interested in these areas are welcome.
The program for the mornings consists in a series of 45-minute lectures and a few 30-minute invited plenary talks. The afternoons will be devoted to 20-minute talks, some of them in two parallel sessions.
Scientific Committee:

• Valentina Barucci (Università degli Studi La Sapienza ),
• Paul-Jean Cahen (Université Paul Cézanne, Aix-Marseille III),
• Marco Fontana (Università degli Studi Roma Tre ),
