[eurolisp] [CfP] Workshop on Self-Sustaining Systems (S3)
by Pascal Costanza 16 Dec '07

16 Dec '07

*** Workshop on Self-sustaining Systems (S3) 2008 *** May 15-16, 2008 Potsdam, Germany http://www.swa.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/s3/ -- Call for papers: The Workshop on Self-sustaining Systems (S3) is a forum for discussion of topics relating to computer systems and languages that are able to bootstrap, implement, modify, and maintain themselves. One property of these systems is that their implementation is based on small but powerful abstractions; examples include (amongst others) Squeak/ Smalltalk, COLA, Klein/Self, PyPy/Python, Rubinius/Ruby, and Lisp. Such systems are the engines of their own replacement, giving researchers and developers great power to experiment with, and explore future directions from within, their own small language kernels. S3 will be take place May 15-16, 2008 at the Hasso-Plattner-Institute in Potsdam, Germany. It is an exciting opportunity for researchers and practitioners interested in self-sustaining systems to meet and share their knowledge, experience, and ideas for future research and development. -- Invited talk: Ian Piumarta: Late-bound Object Lambda Architectures (Viewpoints Research Institute, USA) -- Submissions and proceedings: S3 invites submissions of high-quality papers reporting original research, or describing innovative contributions to, or experience with, self-sustaining systems, their implementation, and their application. Papers that depart significantly from established ideas and practices are particularly welcome. Submissions must not have been published previously and must not be under review for any another refereed event or publication. The program committee will evaluate each contributed paper based on its relevance, significance, clarity, and originality. Revised papers will be published as post-proceedings in the Springer LNCS series. Papers should be submitted electronically via EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=s3 in PDF format. Submissions must be written in English (the official language of the workshop) and must not exceed 20 pages. They should use the LNCS format, templates for which are available athttp://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html . -- Venue: Hasso-Plattner-Institut (Potsdam, Germany) -- Important dates: Submission of papers: February 15, 2008 Author notification: April 11, 2008 Revised papers due: April 25, 2008 S3 workshop: May 15-16, 2008 Final papers for LNCS post-proceedings due: June 6, 2008 -- Chairs: * Robert Hirschfeld (Hasso-Plattner-Institut Potsdam, Germany) * Kim Rose (Viewpoints Research Institute, USA) -- Program committee: * Johan Brichau, Universite Catholique de Louvain, Belgium * Pascal Costanza, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium * Wolfgang De Meuter, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium * Stephane Ducasse, INRIA Lille, France * Michael Haupt, Hasso-Plattner-Institut, Germany * Robert Hirschfeld, Hasso-Plattner-Institut, Germany * Dan Ingalls, Sun Microsystems Laboratories, USA * Martin von Lwis, Hasso-Plattner-Institut, Germany * Hidehiko Masuhara, University of Tokyo, Japan * Ian Piumarta, Viewpoints Research Institute, USA * David Ungar, IBM, USA -- Registration fees: Early (until April 18, 2008) * Regular participants: EUR 160 * Students: EUR 80 Late (after April 18, 2008) * Regular participants: EUR 170 * Students: EUR 90 -- Pascal Costanza, mailto:pc@p-cos.net, http://p-cos.net Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Programming Technology Lab Pleinlaan 2, B-1050 Brussel, Belgium

[eurolisp] [CfP] European Lisp Symposium 2008
by Pascal Costanza 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

****************************************************************************** * * * 1st European Lisp Symposium (ELS 2008) * * * * http://prog.vub.ac.be/~pcostanza/ els08 * * * * Bordeaux, France, May 22-23, 2008 * * LaBRI, Université Bordeaux 1 * * * ****************************************************************************** Important Dates: **************** * Submission of research papers: February 11, 2008 * Work-in-progress papers: March 24, 2008 * Author notification: April 7, 2008 * First final versions due: April 28, 2008 Accepted research papers will be invited for a special issue of the Journal of Universal Computer Science (J.UCS). See symposium website for more details. Scope: ****** The European Lisp Symposium 2008 invites high quality papers about novel research results, insights and lessons learned from practical applications, and educational perspectives, all involving Lisp dialects, including Common Lisp, Scheme, ISLISP, Dylan, and so on. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Language design and implementation techniques * Language integration, interoperation and deployment * Experience reports and case studies * Reflection and meta-level architectures * Educational approaches * Software adaptation and evolution * Configuration management * Artificial intelligence * Large and ultra-large-scale systems * Development methodologies * Development support and environments * Persistent systems * Scientific computing * Parallel and distributed computing * Data mining * Semantic web * Dynamic optimization * Innovative applications * Hardware and virtual machine support * Domain-oriented programming We also encourage submissions about past approaches that have been largely forgotten about, as long as they are presented in a new setting. We invite submissions in two categories: original contributions and work-in-progress papers. *** Original contributions have neither 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, or presents old results from a new perspective. 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 Journal of Universal Computer Science (J.UCS). Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the symposium main track in Bordeaux on May 23, 2008. *** Work in progress describes ongoing work that is not ready for publication yet, but would benefit strongly from feedback by other researchers, practitioners and educators. Such contributions will not be published in the symposium proceedings, but will be made available at the symposium website. The work-in-progress track will be organized as a series of writers' workshops where authors work together to improve their papers. Some authors who submit papers for the main track will be suggested to contribute their work in this track instead, if the program committee decides that their submission is not yet ready for a publication. The writers' workshops will take place at the symposium in Bordeaux on May 22, 2008. Submissions: ************ Papers for the main track must be submitted electronically, preferably as PDF or PostScript file (level 1 or 2). However, submissions in RTF or Word format are also accepted. Initial submissions may not exceed 15 pages in the J.UCS style, including all appendices. (Invited papers for the journal publication will have a page limitation of 25 pages in the same format.) See the symposium website for more details, including about the submission procedure. Papers for the work-in-progress track may be in PDF, PostScript level 1 or 2, RTF or Word, and may not exceed 25 pages. There are no further requirements on their format. Papers for the work-in-progress track must be sent via email to pascal.costanza(a)vub.ac.be.
