It depends a little on your goals.
1. you can translate any given algorithm into a spad package.
2. you could learn more about all this stuff by looking at the work of the
people at RISC, especially Carsten Schneiders
http://www.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/research/combinat/publications/#cschneid
and Axel Rieses
http://www.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/research/combinat/publications/#ariese
and Markus Schorn
http://www.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/research/combinat/publications/#mschorn
and ...
(difficult)
3. You might simply ask those people (maybe Peter Paule is appropriate) what
makes sense. Maybe somebody there volunteers to do some work.
4. if you are more interested in providing a framework within Axiom for all
this stuff, you might want to look at
http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=9217
The files involved are combfunc.spad and sum.spad, the latter implements
Gospers Algorithm.
There are certainly other useful possibilities.
