The MathML conference provides a forum to present and discuss current research and applications, with major emphasis on MathML and technologies that ease the use of mathematical and scientific content on the web. It is the aim of this conference to bring together those people involved in creating the future of mathematics on the web.

The conference embraces all areas of MathML technologies, including authoring, rendering, content management, collaboration, searching, archiving, and conversion. Of interest is work involving courseware or other technologies, such as XML, XSLT, web services, typesetting, and computer algebra, provided it relates principally to web-based mathematical communication.

The conference format includes invited speakers, tutorials, contributed papers, posters, and software demonstrations. Participation is sought in all areas.

Papers
Contributed papers for MathML 2002 should be submitted in the form of extended abstracts of two to four pages by Friday, February 8, 2002. Submissions will be reviewed by the program committee, and notification of acceptance will be given by Monday, March 4. The abstracts will be placed on the conference web site before the meeting.

A special issue of the Journal of Symbolic Computation (JSC) containing full versions of papers selected from the meeting is planned. Details of this special issue will be provided to the authors of those papers that are accepted for presentation at the conference. Authors who wish to submit papers for this special issue will be requested to do so by Friday, July 26, 2002.
