Here is a short summary for this workshop:

The aim of this workshop is to provide an account of the state of
the art in  Computational Kinematics. We understand here under this
term that branch of kinematics research involving intensive computation not
only of the numerical type, but also of a symbolic or geometric nature.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers in the field
of kinematics, mathematical computation and computer science to discuss
research results and exchange ideas in this newly emerging field. 
This meeting will be held at INRIA, the French national research institute
on computer science which is located on the French Riviera, near Nice.
For people planning to attend the IFToMM World Congress  on the Theory of
Machine and Mechanisms (August 30-September 2) note that
Nice and Milan are close.  The organizers intend that there will be 
very reduced fee for this workshop. The maximum number of attendee will 
be around 70.
