Goal of the session

Gröbner bases are a fundamental tool in computer algebra with many applications in various areas. In 1965 Buchberger introduced a first algorithmic approach for their computation. For many high-level computer algebra algorithms Gröbner bases act as building blocks. Over the years many improvements and optimizations on the theory of Gröbner bases, but also advances in computer science and hardware, led to efficient implementations. Moreover, Göbner bases have various applications, for example, in the fields of robotics and cryptography that underline the importance of this field of computational algebra. The aim of this session is to gather researchers with an interest in the theory of Gröbner bases as well as those focussing on efficient implementations. We explicitly encourage submissions on computational aspects.
