In April 1988, the U.S. National Science Foundation funded a workshop in
Washington, D.C., which I chaired, whose purpose was to provide NSF and other
research funding agencies with a deeper understanding of the current status
of research in symbolic and algebraic computation.  The report of this
workshop, which was edited by Ann Boyle and Bobby Caviness, has just been
published by SIAM in their Reports on Issues in the Mathematical Sciences.
Entitled "Future Directions for Research in Symbolic Computation", the report
gives an excellent summary of the field, and can be obtained free of charge
by sending a message to siampubs@wharton.upenn.edu.
