The Cadence Design Systems VCAD group in Munich, Germany, is looking
for a University student intern for a period of two to six months.
You would be working on one of the following projects, depending on
our needs and your strengths:
* Project planning and scheduling software. This will be used to
track our utilization of our developers, and to aid in planning
for on-going and future projects.
* Package configuration management software. We deliver to our
customers custom configurations built out of a large number of
pieces of software and other intellectual property. We are
rewriting the system we use to specify, track, and build these
deliveries.
* Common Lisp bindings to a large C++ library. We are working on a
system to automatically generate the low-level bindings, as well
as designing a higher-level interface meant for direct use by
application programmers.
The implementation language for all of the above will most likely be
Common Lisp, although lesser languages such as Java, Perl, and Tcl may
play a role as well. We are looking for someone who either has
experience programming in a Lisp language, or is interested in
learning Lisp in a production environment, and is comfortable in
several mutually unrelated programming languages (eg, C, Smalltalk,
and PostScript; or Java, Prolog, and SPARC assembly language).
Our environment is Unix-based (Solaris and Linux), so you should have
a basic familiarity with Unix. Other things that would be nice, but
are not required: some theoretical familiarity with relational
databases (eg, you took a database class or read the textbook from
one); Windows programming experience; Oracle experience; experience
with C++, SQL, and Prolog.
Virtual CAD (VCAD) is a group within Cadence providing EDA (Electronic
Design Automation) related services. The internship is with the
software development group within VCAD. Cadence's software products
are scripted with the SKILL language, a Lisp language with two
dialects: one Franz Lisp-like dialect, and one Scheme-like dialect.
The VCAD software group also uses Common Lisp where appropriate.
If you are interested, please contact
Thomas F. Burdick (tfb(a)cadence.com), and
Jim Newton (jimka(a)cadence.com)

Here are some news with regard to the 2nd European Lisp and Scheme
Workshop in Glasgow, Scotland on July 26, 2005.
- Richard Gabriel (http://www.dreamsongs.com) has agreed to give a
keynote talk at the workshop. Title and abstract will be announced at
the workshop website soon.
- The submission deadline for papers and breakout group proposals has
been extended to June 5, 2005.
- The early registration deadline for ECOOP 2005 is June 13, 2005.
Before that date, the fees for participating at the workshop should
be considerably lower. However, the fee structure hasn't been
announced yet. This will (hopefully) happen during the next few days
at http://2005.ecoop.org/fees.html
Please watch the workshop website at http://lisp-ecoop05.bknr.net
during the next one or two weeks for more updates.
Cheers,
Pascal

ANNOUNCEMENT
International Lisp Conference, Stanford University, June 19-22 2005
http://international-lisp-conference.org
The Association of Lisp Users is pleased to announce that Stanford
University will host the next International Lisp Conference between
June 19 and 22. ILC 2005 marks the 25th anniversary of the seminal
1980 Lisp conference held at Stanford in August of 1980.
This year, technical presentations cover a broad range of subjects
woven together with the common thread of Lisp technology. Topics
include: functional language design and implementation, mathematical
and scientific computing, artificial intelligence, data mining,
business intelligence, bio-informatics, telecommunications and
networking, the semantic web, music, and entertainment technologies.
A complete speakers list and schedule is available on-line.
http://international-lisp-conference.org/speakers.htmlhttp://international-lisp-conference.org/schedule.html
The International Lisp Conference also includes a comprehensive
tutorial program including an all-day Common Lisp tutorial.
