Source-derived summary

The IEEE International Symposium on Computer Arithmetic (ARITH) is a conference in the area of computer arithmetic.

The symposium was established in 1969, initially as three-year event, then as a

biennial event, and, finally, from 2015 as an annual symposium.

ARITH topics span from theoretical aspects and algorithms for operations, to hardware implementations of arithmetic units and applications of computer arithmetic.

ARITH symposia are sponsored by IEEE Computer Society. They have been described as one of "the most prestigious forums for computer arithmetic" by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, as the main conference forum for new research publications in computer arithmetic by Parhami (2003), and as a forum for interacting with the "international community of arithmeticians" by participants Peter Kornerup and David W. Matula.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “ARITH Symposium on Computer Arithmetic” as conference in the area of computer arithmetic. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1969, 2015, 2003—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where ARITH, Symposium and Computer can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as conference in the area of computer arithmetic. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q21015563. VIAF identifies the subject as 142505554. The Library of Congress control number is n79018781. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1969, 2015 and 2003.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
