The conference intends to gather people with connected topics of interest that revolve around constructive algebra, logics, computer algebra, and algebraic geometry. The conference is organized by Peter Schuster (Università di Verona) and Ihsen Yengui (Université de Sfax), and is part of the John Templeton Foundation project "A New Dawn of Intuitionism: Mathematical and Philosophical Advances" led by Michael Rathjen (University of Leeds). Additional funding comes from the Dipartimento di Informatica of the University of Verona (http://www.di.univr.it/, http://www.univr.it/), the faculty of Sciences of Sfax, the Tunisian Mathematical Society, and the Pole of Research in Mathematics and Applications in Africa (PREMA).
The conference is organized under the patronage of the AILA (ASSOCIAZIONE ITALIANA DI LOGICA E SUE APPLICAZIONI, http://www.ailalogica.it/).
People interested to attend may contact Ihsen Yengui for practical arrangements. There will be the possibility to contribute to a poster session.

Constructive Algebra :
Constructive algebra can be seen as an abstract version of computer algebra. In computer algebra, on the one hand, one attempts to construct efficient algorithms for solving concrete problems given in an algebraic formulation, where a problem is understood to be concrete if its hypotheses and conclusion have computational content. Constructive algebra, on the other hand, can be understood as a ``preprocessing'' step for computer algebra that leads to general algorithms, even if they are sometimes not efficient. In constructive algebra, one tries to give general algorithms for solving ``virtually any" theorem of abstract algebra. Therefore, a first task in constructive algebra is to define the computational content hidden in hypotheses that are formulated in a very abstract way. For example, what is a good constructive definition of a local ring (i.e., a ring with a unique maximal ideal), a valuation ring (i.e., a ring in which all elements are comparable under division), an arithmetical ring (i.e., a ring which is locally a valuation ring), a ring of Krull dimension at most n, and so on? A good constructive definition must be equivalent to the usual definition within classical mathematics; it must have computational content; and it must be fulfilled by ``usual" objects that satisfy the definition.
