Re: [Axiom-developer] Buchberger Jenks Award?

[Ilias Kotsireas]

thank you for this inspirational quote from Doron, Tim.

note that SIGSAM has managed to honor Bruno with the prestigious
Paris Kanellakis Award in 2007
http://www.sigsam.org/Awards/KanellakisAward.html
I personally spend a lot of time working on his nomination,
with Mark Giesbrecht, Emil Volcheck and others. In the end,
we were delighted to be successful.

for the procedures governing the Jenks Award.

all the best,
