[eurolisp] eclm - hamburg -accomodation question
by eurolisp＠mhoffmann.dds.nl 22 Jun '07

22 Jun '07

Hi ECLM participants, At the end of the month the ECLM will take place in Hamburg. I am looking for not so expensive accomodation. I had hoped to book a room at instantsleep.de for about euro 25, but the rooms are already gone. Does anybody have information about cheap hotels, private rooms etc. which are recomended? I am also thinking of taking a tent with me, but I am not sure yet. yours, Marc eurolisp(a)mhoffmann.dds.nl

[eurolisp] Student internship
by Thomas F. Burdick 22 Jul '06

22 Jul '06

If you know anybody who would be interested in this, please pass it along. thanks! 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) For more information about VCAD, see: http://www.cadence-europe.com/solutions/vpage.cfm?pID=1 http://www.cadence-europe.com/eEuronews/mar_05/features.html

by Pascal Costanza 18 May '06

18 May '06

+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 3rd European Lisp Workshop | | July 3 & 4 - Nantes, Frances - co-located with ECOOP 2006 | | Supported by ALU and Ravenbrook Limited | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ Important News * The workshop has been reduced to one day and will be held on Monday, July 3. * We have accepted five papers for presentation, about an agent-based framework to simulate metabolic processes, simulation of quantum computations, Lisp tools for musicology, naturalising foreign libraries, and beating C in scientific computing applications, as well as a breakout group on Lisp Hardware revisited. * Nick Levine's keynote presentation will have the title "How to stay poor, with macros and closures." * The workshop will also contain tutorials about CLIM and/or reflection and metaprogramming in Lisp. The exact programme will be made available in the next few days at the workshop website. There is still enough room for additional participants, so please contact Pascal Costanza at pc(a)p-cos.net if you wish to participate. Note that the early registration deadline is May 23, 2006.

[eurolisp] 2nd CFP: Workshop on Generic Programming
by Pascal Costanza 11 May '06

11 May '06

[The deadline is approaching: 23 days left.] ======================================================================== ==== SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Generic Programming 2006 Portland, Oregon, 16th September 2006 The Workshop on Generic Programming is sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN and forms part of ICFP 2006. Previous Workshops on Generic Programming have been held in Marstrand (affiliated with MPC), Ponte de Lima (affiliated with MPC), Nottingham (informal workshop), Dagstuhl (IFIP WG2.1 Working Conference), Oxford (informal workshop), and Utrecht (informal workshop). http://www.informatik.uni-bonn.de/~ralf/wgp2006.{html,pdf,ps,txt} ======================================================================== ==== Scope ----- Generic programming is about making programs more adaptable by making them more general. Generic programs often embody non-traditional kinds of polymorphism; ordinary programs are obtained from them by suitably instantiating their parameters. In contrast with normal programs, the parameters of a generic program are often quite rich in structure; for example they may be other programs, types or type constructors, class hierarchies, or even programming paradigms. Generic programming techniques have always been of interest, both to practitioners and to theoreticians, but only recently have generic programming techniques become a specific focus of research in the functional and object-oriented programming language communities. This workshop will bring together leading researchers in generic programming from around the world, and feature papers capturing the state of the art in this important emerging area. We welcome contributions on all aspects, theoretical as well as practical, of o adaptive object-oriented programming, o aspect-oriented programming, o component-based programming, o generic programming, o meta-programming, o polytypic programming, o and so on. Submission details ------------------ Deadline for submission: 3rd June 2006 Notification of acceptance: 24th June 2006 Final submission due: 8th July 2006 Workshop: 16th September 2006 Authors should submit papers, in postscript or PDF format, formatted for A4 paper, to Ralf Hinze (ralf(a)informatik.uni-bonn.de) by 3rd June 2006. The length should be restricted to 12 pages in standard (two-column, 9pt) ACM. Accepted papers are published by the ACM and will additionally appear in the ACM digital library.
