PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED European Lisp Symposium 2012, Zadar, Croatia, April 30th - May 1st, 2012 http://european-lisp-symposium.org The purpose of the European Lisp Symposium is to provide a forum for the discussion and dissemination of all aspects of design, implementation and application of any of the Lisp and Lisp-inspired dialects, including Common Lisp, Scheme, Emacs Lisp, AutoLisp, ISLISP, Dylan, Clojure, ACL2, ECMAScript, Racket, SKILL, and so on. We encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate. The main theme of the 2012 European Lisp Conference is "Interoperability: Systems, Libraries, Workflows". Lisp based and functional-languages based systems have grown a variety of solutions to become more and more integrated with the wider world of Information and Communication Technologies in current use. There are several dimensions to the scope of the solutions proposed, ranging from "embedding" of interpreters in C-based systems, to the development of abstractions levels that facilitate the expression of complex context dependent tasks, to the construction of exchange formats handling libraries, to the construction of theorem-provers for the "Semantic Web". The European Lisp Symposium 2012 solicits the submission of papers with this specific theme in mind, alongside the more traditional tracks which have appeared in the past editions. We invite submissions in the following forms: Papers: Technical papers of up to 15 pages that describe original results or explain known ideas in new and elegant ways. Demonstrations: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for demonstrations of tools, libraries, and applications. Tutorials: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for in-depth presentations about topics of special interest for at least 90 minutes and up to 180 minutes. Lightning talks: Abstracts of up to one page for talks to last for no more than 5 minutes. All submissions should be formatted following the ACM SIGS guidelines and include ACM classification categories and terms. For more information on the submission guidelines and the ACM keywords, see: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates and http://www.acm.org/about/class/1998.

Thanks, Hans </pre> Hans Hübner 2011-11-01T20:29:10 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.eurolisp/417 <pre>Hi everyone, ECLM comment: [As I am attending to the ECLM 2011 and hope to meet some of the lispers who might start with us, I am sending it through this mailing list! Sorry for double postings.] happy to announce that another IT startup launched, using for the backend Allegro Common Lisp, Prolog and AllegroGraph. On the front end side we are using web technologies. We are looking for a talented lisper who will contribute significantly to our goal: to build the first highly flexible production system for the agriculture market. I have been involved myself several times in a startup environment. I have never met such a startup with each role filed with a highly qualified individual. Beside hard work, it's really fun working here, and we are looking for someone taking this challenge with us. You will find below a more conservative job description. If it matches your profile please contact us. If it doesn't match your profile but you think that you can make a valuable contribution, please contact us as well! So far for today! Samir Sekkat mailto:sse&lt; at &gt;sekkat.eu Agri-Esprit is a technology start-up company located in Strasbourg, France, which develops a unique, highly flexible software supported management system for agriculture world-wide. The system will integrate all information relevant to farm management and provide proactive support spanning strategic planning to day-to-day operations. It will enable farm management and farm workers to make better decisions and continuously improve their operations in order to maximize productivity in a systematic manner while integrating consumer requirements and environmental and social impact considerations. We are looking for Creative IT-Developers who are interested in working with an international, multicultural team in an entrepreneurial environment. Work experience is helpful but not a requirement. Requirements: - Strong team player - Willingness to learn new technologies - Willingness to work according to an agile development methodology, inclusive of pair programming - Degree in Informatics or similar - Proficient in English; French a definite advantage, German helpful. In-depth knowledge in one or more of the following fields is highly appreciated (not ranked by importance): - Common Lisp - Functional programming - GIS systems and/or spatial databases, ideally web based GIS (Open-Geospatial, etc.) - Graph databases - IT security - JavaScript - Prolog - User interface design What we offer - A full-time position according French legislation with a competitive salary - Performance based bonus - Opportunities for professional development in an entrepreneurial environment </pre> Samir Sekkat 2011-10-03T21:14:48 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.eurolisp/416 <pre>Hi everybody, We have 91 registrations for the European Common Lisp Meeting now. See http://eclm.eurolisp.org/ for a list of them. If you haven't registered yet, please note that the registration deadline is tomorrow. You can register at http://weitz.de/eclm2011/ . Edi &amp; Arthur </pre> Arthur Lemmens 2011-09-30T16:14:34 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.eurolisp/415 <pre>Hi everybody, We've had a lot of additional registrations for the European Common Lisp Meeting 2011 since we sent our email a week ago and if everybody who has registered by now actually participates, we'll not end up with a loss or only with a very small one. Still, we wouldn't mind if a few more people would come and therefore we decided to extend the registration period a bit. You can now register until October 1 before the registration process is really closed for good. See &lt;http://weitz.de/eclm2011/&gt; for all the details. Also, there were a couple of people who spontaneously offered to send donations after we announced our potential loss. That was very kind and we're grateful for these offers - thanks a lot! Luckily, it looks like we won't need the money. Looking forward to seeing you all in Amsterdam, Arthur &amp; Edi. </pre> Edi Weitz 2011-09-20T10:50:18 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.eurolisp/414 <pre>Hi everybody, We'd like to remind everybody that it is still possible to register for the European Common Lisp Meeting 2011 in Amsterdam. We're sending this reminder because the number of registrations so far has been pretty low. In fact, it is far away from what we expected and used as the basis for our calculations. With 47 participants (as of September 7) we'll make a loss of almost 2,000 Euros and we'd need roughly 25 more registrations to not end up in the red. Maybe this email can convince at least some of those who haven't registered yet to change their minds. Or maybe you know someone you think you should forward this to. (Also, feel free to blog about it or use other means to disseminate this message.) More details about the ECLM can be found here: http://weitz.de/eclm2011/ We're looking forward to meeting all of you in October and we're still hoping to see at least as many fellow Lispers as in the last years. Arthur &amp; Edi. </pre> Edi Weitz 2011-09-08T10:22:13 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.eurolisp/412 <pre>I would like to know if someone have tried to implement this: http://oscarhome.soc-sci.arizona.edu/ftp/OSCAR-web-page/oscar.html Danilo Dantas </pre> Danilo Fraga 2011-07-11T14:12:53 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.eurolisp/410 <pre>Hi everybody, Registration for the European Common Lisp Meeting 2011 is now finally open. Please go to the ECLM website at http://weitz.de/eclm2011/ and follow the instructions there if you want to register. We're hoping to see at least as many participants as in the last years in order not to go bankrupt... :) Also, should you encounter any technical problems (we hope not), please don't hesitate to contact us. And of course feel free to blog about this or advertise it on other mailing lists.

Hoping to see you there, Arthur &amp; Edi. </pre> Edi Weitz 2011-03-07T21:07:13 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.eurolisp/407 <pre>Ravenbrook is looking for an experienced consultant interested in joining us to work on a mature Social Network Analysis desktop application. It consists of about 50k lines of Common Lisp, targeted at LispWorks for Windows. It's a heady mix of GUI (making heavy use of LispWorks' CAPI), graphical layout, analysis some of which gets fairly mathematical, and data mangling. This year's effort will focus on usability and in particular on the automation of repetitive tasks which we've identified as being particularly time-consuming for our end users. We'll be talking to Microsoft Word. The small print: contracts for this year's work are not yet in place. So we cannot be firm about offering you any work just yet. However we are very confident indeed in getting the business at some point in the next couple of months. Whatever the start date, the work must be complete before the end of January 2012. We can be hopeful about a further year's development after that but, obviously, no promises. In short, what we're trying to do now is to locate the person we want to work with so that we can make a fairly prompt start once we get our go-ahead, and on the understanding that there may well be no more than a year's work on offer. However there might also be an opportunity to get involved with our other consulting work, or the Memory Pool System, or even video game development. Essential requirements: * you will mostly need to work at our office in Cambridge, UK * you need to be available to start work at about a month's notice * you need to be comfortable collaborating in a small team * we want the person we work with to be highly motivated, client focussed, and reliable Do get in touch. Please note: Generic CVs and resumes as Word document attachments will be trashed. Use plain text to explain why you might be good for us. Or by all means write to arrange a phone call to discuss the project. Thanks!

The structure of Lisp makes it easy to extend the language or even to implement entirely new dialects without starting from scratch, making it the ideal candidate for writing Domain Specific Languages. Common Lisp, with the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS), was the first object-oriented programming language to receive an ANSI standard and remains the most complete and advanced object system of any programming language, while influencing many other object-oriented programming languages that followed. This workshop will address the near-future role of Lisp-based languages in research, industry and education. We solicit contributions that discuss the opportunities Lisp provides to capture and enhance the possibilities in software engineering. We want to promote lively discussion between researchers proposing new approaches and practitioners reporting on their experience with the strengths and limitations of current Lisp technologies. The workshop will have two components: there will be formal talks, and interactive turorial/demo/coding sessions. Papers ====== Formal presentations in the workshop should take between 20 minutes and half an hour; additional time will be given for questions and answers. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to): - Context-, aspect-, domain-oriented and generative programming - Macro-, reflective-, meta- and/or rule-based development approaches - Protocol meta-programming and libraries - New language features and abstractions - Software evolution - Development aids - Persistent systems - Dynamic optimization - Implementation techniques - Hardware Support - Efficiency, distribution and parallel programming - Educational approaches and perspectives - Experience reports and case studies Interactive Tutorial/Demo/Coding Sessions ========================================= Additionally, we invite less formal talks in the form of interactive tutorial/demo/coding sessions. The purpose of these sessions is both to demonstrate and receive feedback on any interesting Lisp system, either stable or under development. Being less formal than technical paper presentations, these sessions are expected to be highly interactive. Submission Guidelines ===================== Potential contributors are encouraged to submit: - a long paper (around 10 pages) presenting scientific and/or empirical results about Lisp-based uses or new approaches for software engineering purposes, - a short essay (5 pages) defending a position about where research, practice or education based on Lisp should be heading in the near future, - a proposal for an interactive tutorial/demo/coding session (1-2 pages) describing the involved library or application, and the subject of the session. Papers (both long and short) should be formatted following the ACM SIGS guidelines and include ACM classification categories and terms (see below). Authors will later be required to sign an ACM copyright form, as the workshop proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library.

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. DLS provides a place for researchers and practitioners to come together and share their knowledge, experience, and ideas for future research and development. DLS 2010 invites high quality papers reporting original research, innovative contributions or experience related to dynamic languages, their implementation and application. Accepted Papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: * Innovative language features and implementation techniques * Development and platform support, tools * Interesting applications * Domain-oriented programming * Very late binding, dynamic composition, and runtime adaptation * Reflection and meta-programming * Software evolution * Language symbiosis and multi-paradigm languages * Dynamic optimization * Hardware support * Experience reports and case studies * Educational approaches and perspectives * Object-oriented, aspect-oriented, and context-oriented programming === Submissions and proceedings === We invite original contributions that neither have been published previously nor are under review by other refereed events or publications. Research papers should describe work that advances the current state of the art. Experience papers should be of broad interest and should describe insights gained from substantive practical applications. The program committee will evaluate each contributed paper based on its relevance, significance, clarity, and originality. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Papers are to be submitted electronically at http://www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=dls2010 in PDF format. Submissions must not exceed 12 pages and need to use the ACM format, templates for which can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. === Important dates === Submission of papers: June 1, 2010 (hard deadline) Author notification: July 15, 2010 Final versions due: August 13, 2010 DLS 2010: October 18, 2010 SPLASH/OOPSLA 2010: October 17-21, 2010 === Program chair === William Clinger, Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts, USA === Program committee === Robby Findler (Northwestern University) Jeffrey S.

Software systems must adapt to changing contexts over time, and must change even while they are running. Unfortunately, mainstream programming languages and development environments do not support this kind of dynamic change very well, leading developers to implement complex designs to anticipate various dimensions of variability. The goal of Context-oriented Programming (COP) is to directly support variability depending on a wide range of dynamic attributes, making it possible to dispatch runtime behavior on any properties of the execution context. Several researchers are working on Context-oriented Programming and related ideas, and implementations ranging from prototypes to mature platform extensions used in commercial deployments have illustrated how multi-dimensional dispatch can indeed be supported effectively to achieve expressive runtime variation in behavior. This is a follow-up event to the first successful COP'09 workshop, where 10 highly interesting papers were presented and which attracted an audience of around 30 participants. Submission Guidelines ===================== Potential attendants are expected to submit either a paper of 4-6 pages in ACM format, presenting scientific and/or empirical results about uses of Context-oriented Programming or new approaches for software engineering purposes, or a short essay of 2-3 pages in ACM format defending a position about where research on Context-oriented Programming should be heading in the near future. Submissions are required in electronic form. Please use the workshop website to submit your paper. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Interesting application domains and scenarios - Programming language abstractions for Context-oriented Programming (e.g., dynamic scoping, roles, traits, prototype-based extensions) - Configuration languages (e.g., feature descriptions) - Interaction with non-functional programming concerns (e.g., security, persistence, concurrency, distribution) - Modularization approaches for Context-oriented Programming (e.g., aspects, modules, layers, plugins) - Guidelines to include Context-oriented Programming in programs (e.g., best practices, design patterns) - Runtime support for Context-oriented Programming (e.g., reflection, dynamic binding) - Tool support (e.g. design tools, debuggers) Program Committee ================= Sven Apel, University of Passau, Germany Patrick Eugster, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA Sebastian Gonzalez, Universite catholique de Louvain, Belgium Michael Haupt, Hasso-Plattner-Institut, Potsdam, Germany Tetsuo Kamina, University of Tokyo, Japan Hidehiko Masuhara, University of Tokyo, Japan Hans Schippers, University of Antwerp, Belgium Eddy Truyen, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium Didier Verna, EPITA Research and Development Laboratory, Paris, France Organizing Committee ==================== Pascal Costanza, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium Richard P.
