The workshop Software for Approximation (SA2027) brings together researchers, software developers, industrial partners and practitioners interested in software, algorithms and applications for approximation, scientific computing and machine learning.

The workshop provides a forum for presenting software libraries, computational tools, programming environments and numerical algorithms, with particular emphasis on reproducible scientific software, efficient implementations and high-performance computing.

Approximation methods underpin many advances in scientific computing, data analysis and Artificial Intelligence. From interpolation and kernel methods to neural networks and scientific machine learning, they provide the mathematical foundation of modern data-driven models.

SA2027 encourages collaboration across mathematics, computer science and engineering, promoting the exchange of ideas between academia and industry. Contributions on software development, industrial applications and technology transfer are particularly welcome.

Keynote Speaker

• Elisa Francomano (University of Palermo)

Prof. Elisa Francomano, member of the UMI Scientific Committee, presents the main findings of the CNR-UMI report "L’impatto economico della ricerca matematica in Italia". The lecture highlights the pervasive contribution of mathematical research to innovation, employment, productivity, and national economic growth. The presentation is followed by a round table discussing the strategic role of mathematics and the policies needed to strengthen its impact on society and industry.
