In agreement with the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Catania, we are organizing an international conference on Differential Algebra and Related Computer Algebra in memory of Giuseppa Carrà Ferro, to be held in Catania, Italy on March 26–29, 2008, Aula Magna, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science University of Catania, Cittadella Universitaria. Giuseppa Carrà Ferro (1952--2007), affectionately known as Pina in close circles, died of cancer on March 22, 2007.

Professor Carrà-Ferro is remembered for her contributions to Differential Algebra (differential spectrum and varieties, Kolchin schemes, differential Gröbner bases, differential dimension and multipicity, automated theorem proving in differential geometry, differential rankings, characteristic sets, and differential resultants) and to Computer Algebra (super G-bases, involutive bases, and graph algorithms).
