Boston Lisp Meeting:

Hari Prashanth on Functional Data Structures for Typed Racket
http://fare.livejournal.com/158662.html
A Boston Lisp Meeting will take place on Monday, September 20th 2010 at 1800 at
NEU WVH 366. Hari Prashanth will speak about Functional Data Structures for
Typed Racket.
Additionally, we will have two Lightning Talks. Speakers to be announced.
1 Hari Prashanth on Functional Data Structures for Typed Racket
Scheme provides excellent language support for programming in a functional
style, but little in the way of library support. In this talk, I present our
experience developing a comprehensive library of functional data structures in
Typed Racket a typed variant of Racket, which allows us to maintain the type
invariants of the original definitions.
Hari Prashanth is a Master's student at Northeastern University. He is working
with Sam Tobin-Hochstadt for his thesis. His advisor is Matthias Felleisen.

2 Lightning Talks
At every meeting, before the main talk, there are two slots for strictly timed
5-minute "Lightning Talks" each followed by 2 minutes for questions and
answers.
The slots for next meeting are still open. Step up and come talk about your pet
project! Contact me at fare at tunes.org.
3 Time and Location
The Lisp Meeting will take place on Monday, September 20th 2010 at 1800 (6pm)
at NEU WVH 366.
This is at Northeastern University, in the Computer Science building WVH (West
Village H, see http://tmp.barzilay.org/wvh.jpg this picture) when you arrive
from the T on Huntington Avenue near to Parker St (Green E line, stop at
Northeastern Station, or possibly Museum of Fine Arts; you can also walk from
Ruggles on the Orange line). As the number indicates, the room is on the third
floor.

Many thanks go to Eli Barzilay for arranging for the room, and to Northeastern
University for welcoming us.
4 No Dinner
We haven't been able to renew sponsorship from our usual partners for 2010, and
are not planning to have after-meeting buffet anymore at this point. An
informal group will probably gather to have dinner within walking distance of
the venue.
5 More about the Meeting
The previous Boston Lisp Meeting on Monday, July 26th 2010 had about 25
participants. Slava Pestov spoke about Factor: an interactive, dynamic,
stack-based programming language. http://fare.livejournal.com/157280.html
We're always looking for more speakers. The call for speakers and all the other
details are at: http://fare.livejournal.com/120393.html Volunteers to give
Lightning Talks are also sought. http://fare.livejournal.com/143723.html

4th European Lisp Symposium
Special Focus on Parallelism & Efficiency
March 31 - April 1st, 2011
TUHH, Hamburg University of Technology
Hamburg, Germany
http://www.european-lisp-symposium.org/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Important Dates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ Submission Deadline: January 09, 2011
+ Author Notification: February 06, 2011
+ Final Paper Due: February 28, 2011
+ Symposium: March 31 - April 1st, 2011
Authors of accepted research contributions will be invited to submit
an extended version of their papers for journal publication.
Scope
~~~~~~
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 dialects, including
Common Lisp, Scheme, Emacs Lisp, AutoLisp, ISLISP, Dylan, Clojure,
ACL2, ECMAScript, Racket and so on. We encourage everyone interested
in Lisp to participate.
The European Lisp Symposium 2011 invites high quality papers about
novel research results, insights and lessons learned from practical
applications, and educational perspectives. We also encourage
submissions about known ideas as long as they are presented in a new
setting and/or in a highly elegant way.
This year's focus will be directed towards "Parallelism & Efficiency".
We especially invite submissions in the following areas:
+ Parallel and distributed computing
+ Code generation for multi-core architectures
+ Code generation for HTM
+ Large and ultra-large systems
+ Optimization techniques
+ Embedded applications
Contributions are also welcome in other areas, including but not
limited to:
+ Context-, aspect-, domain-oriented and generative programming
+ Macro-, reflective-, meta- and/or rule-based development approaches
+ Language design and implementation
+ Language integration, inter-operation and deployment
+ Development methodologies, support and environments
+ Educational approaches and perspectives
+ Experience reports and case studies
Technical Program:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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:
