SHRDLU), cast the problem of language learning as a search through the space of possible programs, and show first steps in learning. Gregory has created a system called Sepia that makes it relatively easy to write small lexicons that implement some semantic theory for a domain. Applications that Gregory and several colleagues have had fun with include: * understanding dates and times and other measures: "next Wednesday" * finding and linking names of people, organizations, places * telling a robot what to do with stuff on a table: "touch the red one" * asking about spatial paths in video: "show people entering the kitchen" * a toy gossip world: "John loves Mary" "Who does not hate Mary?" * a littl Faré 2008-11-18T14:15:35 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.lightweight/4528 _______________________________________________ Scheme-announcements mailing list Scheme-announcements< at >lists.ccs.neu.edu https://lists.ccs.neu.edu/bin/listinfo/scheme-announcements Mitchell Wand 2008-10-24T15:28:21 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.lightweight/4527 _______________________________________________ Scheme-announcements mailing list Scheme-announcements< at >lists.ccs.neu.edu https://lists.ccs.neu.edu/bin/listinfo/scheme-announcements Mitchell Wand 2008-10-17T19:15:08 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.lightweight/4526 _______________________________________________ Scheme-announcements mailing list Scheme-announcements< at >lists.ccs.neu.edu https://lists.ccs.neu.edu/bin/listinfo/scheme-announcements Mitchell Wand 2008-09-24T05:16:44 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.lightweight/4525 Lisp50< at >OOPSLA ...celebrating the 50th birthday of Lisp at OOPSLA 2008 Monday, October 20, 2008 Nashville, Tennessee, USA co-located with OOPSLA 2008 participation is free for all OOPSLA participants registration for at least one conference day at OOPSLA is required URL: http:www.lisp50.org Feed: http://lisp50.blogspot.com Invited Speakers + William Clinger, Northeastern University, USA + Pascal Costanza, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium + Richard Gabriel, IBM Research, USA + Rich Hickey, Independent Consultant, USA + Alan Kay, Viewpoints Research Institute, USA + Fritz Kunze, USA + Ora Lassila, Nokia Research Center, USA + John McCarthy, USA + Kent Pitman, PTC, USA + Guy Steele, Sun Microsystems Laboratories, USA + Herbert Stoyan, University of Erlangen, Germany + Warren Teitelman, Google Inc., USA + JonL White, USA Titles, abstracts, biographies and schedule will be announced at the Lisp50 webpage and blog in the coming days and weeks.

The latter category subsumes present-day computer algebra systems (CAS), interactive proof assistants (PA), and automated theorem provers (ATP), all heading towards fully integrated mechanized mathematical assistants that are expected to emerge eventually (cf. the objective of Calculemus). The two subjects of PL and MMS meet in the following topics, which are of particular interest to this workshop: * Dedicated input languages for MMS: covers all aspects of languages intended for the user to deploy or extend th Jacques Carette 2008-04-23T19:53:25 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.lightweight/4509 A recording of Gilad Bracha's talk on "The Newspeak Programming Language" (Hasso-Plattner-Institute, Potsdam, March 11, 2008) is now online at http://www.tele-task.de/page50_lecture3490.html Best, Robert Robert Hirschfeld 2008-04-19T19:06:37 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.lightweight/4508 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Participation *** Workshop on Self-sustaining Systems (S3) 2008 *** May 15-16, 2008 Hasso-Plattner-Institut Potsdam, Germany http://www.swa.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/s3/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Important dates ] * Early registration: April 20, 2008 * S3 workshop: May 15-16, 2008 [ Program ] * 3 invited talks * 6 technical papers * http://www.swa.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/s3/program/ [ Invited speakers ] * Ian Piumarta (Viewpoints) * Dan Ingalls (Sun Labs) * Richard P.

It will a hour long conference followed by a (hopefully sponsored) dinner, usually on the last Monday of every month at 6pm, probably at MIT or at ITA (both in Cambridge near Kendall Sq). The conference won't have to be about Lisp stricto sensu, but it probably will have to be about programming programming languages in general.

While mature dynamic languages including Smalltalk, Lisp, Scheme, Self, Prolog, and APL continue to grow and inspire new converts, a new generation of dynamic scripting languages such as Python, Ruby, PHP, Tcl, and JavaScript are successful in a wide range of applications.
