You have one more week to write a paper! Scope: Lisp is one of the greatest ideas from computer science and a major influence for almost all programming languages and for all sufficiently complex software applications. The International Lisp Conference is a forum for the discussion of Lisp and, in particular, the design, implementation and application of any of the Lisp dialects. We encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate. We invite high quality submissions in all areas involving Lisp dialects and any other languages in the Lisp family, including, but not limited to, ACL2, AutoLisp, Clojure, Common Lisp, ECMAScript, Dylan, Emacs Lisp, ISLISP, Racket, Scheme, SKILL, HOP etc. The conference proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library. This year's focus will be directed towards integrated solutions, including mobile computing. We especially invite submissions in the following areas: * Pervasive computing Interoperability Portability Implementation * challenges/tradeoffs for embedded/mobile platforms Language * support for mobile toolkits and frameworks Language support for * distribution Language support for reliability, availability, and * serviceability Mobile IDEs Mobile applications Contributions are also welcome in other areas, including but not limited to: * Language design and implementation Language integration, * inter-operation and deployment Applications (especially * commercial) Reflection, meta-object protocols, meta-programming * Domain-specific languages Programming paradigms and environments * Efficient parallel and concurrent computation Language support for * managing both manual and automatic GC Theorem proving Scientific * computing Data mining Semantic web Technical Programme: Original submissions in all areas related to the conference themes are invited for the following categories: Papers: Technical papers of up to 10 pages that describe original results.

[Armedbear-devel] controlling from where ASDF loads .abcl files
by Robert Dodier 15 May '14

15 May '14

Hi, I'm trying to use ABCL + ASDF to compile and load Maxima. It used to work so I guess there have just been some small changes to ABCL and/or ASDF that I need to take account of. After (require 'asdf) and (setf asdf:*central-registry* '(*default-pathname-defaults*)) (which wasn't necessary before, but that doesn't matter), I find that (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :maxima) fails with an error like this: #<THREAD "interpreter" {EE920}>: Debugger invoked on condition of type FILE-ERROR File not found: /home/robert/.cache/common-lisp/abcl-1.3.0-fasl42-linux-x86 /home/robert/tmp/maxima-5.33.0/src/binary-abcl/maxima-package.abcl But maxima-package.abcl does exist in /home/robert/tmp/maxima-5.33.0/src/binary-abcl, and (since the current working directory is /home/robert /tmp/maxima-5.33.0/src) (load "binary-abcl/maxima-package.abcl") succeeds. Then I can select option 2 (accept) and continue to the next file, autoconf-variables.abcl, load it by hand, continue to the next, nregex.abcl, etc etc. /home/robert/.cache/common-lisp doesn't exist. How can I tell ASDF to look in the same place that it actually wrote the file? Thanks for any advice. I found some ASDF documentation but couldn't figure it out. best, Robert Dodier _______________________________________________ Armedbear-devel mailing list Armedbear-devel(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/armedbear-devel

[Armedbear-devel] loading Maxima via ASDF
by Robert Dodier 15 May '14

15 May '14

After some flailing around, I managed to figure out how to load Maxima via ASDF + ABCL. For the record, ASDF 3.1.0.103 + ABCL 1.3.1. The problem I reported about ASDF not looking in the right place for the .abcl files might be due to the maxima.asd specifying a place without telling ASDF (?? not sure). By disabling ASDF's output translation stuff, the problem went away. Alternatively, one could nuke the assignment to ASDF:*BINARY-OUTPUT-DIR* in maxima.asd and let ASDF figure out where to put stuff (somewhere below ~/.cache/ common-lisp, it appears). It appears to be necessary now to specify something for ASDF:*CENTRAL-REPOSITORY*. I hadn't found that necessary before. (Last time I tried might have been a couple of years ago.) So with maxima-5.33.0.tar.gz unpacked, this recipe worked for me: (0) cd maxima-5.33.0/src (1) edit maxima.asd to say binary-abcl instead of binary-ecl for ASDF:*BINARY-OUTPUT-DIR*. (Not strictly necessary.) ASDF thens writes stuff into ./binary-abcl. (2) launch ABCL via: java -jar path/to/abcl.jar (3) in ABCL repl: (require 'asdf) (setf asdf:*central-registry* '(*default-pathname-defaults*)) (asdf:disable-output-translations) (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :maxima) (4) launch Maxima interpreter: (cl-user::run) Plotting, help, run_testsuite all work as expected; test suite has a few unexpected errors, mostly numerical.

[Armedbear-devel] HEADS-UP: r14694 changes semantics (sometimes) of CL:NIL to Java from JAVA:+NULL+ to JAVA:+FALSE+
by Mark Evenson 15 May '14

15 May '14

With [r14694][], we now convert CL:T and CL:NIL to JAVA:+TRUE+ and JAVA:+FALSE+ respectively when invoking JVM methods through the JAVA package, establishing the "natural" equivalence for boolean truth values. This may break some existing usage in that previously CL:NIL was converted to a Java 'null' reference. Users now need to specify JAVA:+NULL+ explicitly when desiring to pass 'null' Java references as an argument in invoking JVM methods. As far as I can tell from what I can from testing examples of available consumers of the JAVA package, this doesn’t break existing usage, as we have been advising use JAVA:+NULL+ to denote a null reference explicitly since its introduction some three years ago [r13359][]. And until I inspected the underlying JAVA code yesterday, I wasn’t even aware of the conversion of CL:NIL to JAVA:+NULL+. Nevertheless, please speak up if this breaks something for you that you relied upon. Unless I hear otherwise, I am going to back port this change to abcl-1.3.1 as the last change before a release. While strictly speaking from a release engineering perspective, this sort of change should wait until a major revision release, I am planning on using abcl-1.3.1 in production next week with [lsw2][], which sort of relies on this behavior. I beg the ABCL community’s indulgence in this deviation from release engineering best practices, unless somebody speaks up soon that this is a very bad idea. This change implements the requests in [ticket-84][] and [ticket-339][]. [ticket-84]: http://abcl.org/trac/ticket/84> [ticket-339]: http://abcl.org/trac/ticket/339 [r14694]: http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14694 [r13359]: http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/13359 [lsw2]: https://code.google.com/p/lsw2/ -- "A screaming comes across the sky.

[Armedbear-devel] ABCL on iOS via RoboVM?
by John Pallister 07 May '14

07 May '14

Hello list, I was wondering whether anyone has tried to get ABCL running on iOS by means of RoboVM [1]? I see that people have done this with Clojure [2]. Also, can I ask how the Android build target is coming along? I'm weighing up LambdaNative [3] vs. alternatives for Lisp development on iOS and Android. Cheers, John :^P [1] http://www.robovm.org/ [2] https://github.com/oakes/lein-fruit [3] http://www.lambdanative.org/ -- John Pallister john(a)johnp.net john(a)synchromesh.com _______________________________________________ Armedbear-devel mailing list Armedbear-devel(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/armedbear-devel
