The event will open at 9am on Monday June 8th with an invited keynote talk by Dr. David Shaw, founder and Chief Scientist of D. E. Shaw Research. The main part of the symposium will consist of peer-reviewed technical presentations on all aspects of computer arithmetic, together with 4 panels and special sessions and an additional invited talk by Stanley Mazor, a designer of the world's first microprocessor, the Intel 4004. The scientific program will conclude at midday on Wednesday June 10th and will be followed by an optional lunch cruise on the Willamette River, at which all participants and their guests are welcome.

Please note: the program that follows is preliminary and may change without notice!
