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] [ANN] Sicily Evolution of Language Summer School
by Pascal Costanza 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

The following announcement is interesting for Common Lisp users, because the atelier on Computational Construction Grammar is completely based on Common Lisp environments. Here is the full announcement: Date: 14-Jul-2007 - 19-Jul-2007 Organisers: Vittorio Loreto and Luc Steels An exciting summerschool is being organised this summer in Erice, Sicily. The school focuses on recent research in modeling language evolution using computational, robotic, and mathematical approaches. The main school (http://pil.phys.uniroma1.it/erice2007/index.html) brings together about 30 lecturers, with linguists including: Ben Bergen, Bill Croft, Bruno Galantucci, Susan Goldin-Meadow, Jean-Marie Hombert, Jim Hurford, Laura Michaelis, Bill Wang. There is a specialised atelier (http://www.csl.sony.fr/erice2007/) on using Computational Construction Grammar for modeling language evolution with exercises and hands-on experience. Interested participants should email as soon as possible to tagora2007(a)csl.sony.fr and check out the websites. Cheers, Pascal -- Pascal Costanza, mailto:pc@p-cos.net, http://p-cos.net Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Programming Technology Lab Pleinlaan 2, B-1050 Brussel, Belgium

************************************************************************ ** Call for Papers Dyla 2007: 3rd Workshop on Dynamic Languages and Applications July 31, 2007, Berlin (Collocated with ECOOP 2007) http://dyla2007.unibe.ch ************************************************************************ ** Objective ========= The goal of this workshop is to act as a forum where we can discuss new advances in the conception, implementation and application of object-oriented languages that radically diverge from the statically typed class-based reflectionless doctrine. The goal of the workshop is to discuss new as well as older "forgotten" languages and features in this context. Topics of interest include, but are certainly not limited to: - agents, actors, active object, distribution, concurrency and mobility - delegation, prototypes, mixins - first-class closures, continuations, environments - reflection and meta-programming - (dynamic) aspects for dynamic languages - higher-order objects & messages - ... other exotic dynamic features which you would categorize as OO - multi-paradigm & static/dynamic-marriages - (concurrent/distributed/mobile/aspect) virtual machines - optimisation of dynamic languages - automated reasoning about dynamic languages - "regular" syntactic schemes (cf. S-expressions, Smalltalk, Self) - Smalltalk, Python, Ruby, Scheme, Lisp, Self, ABCL, Prolog, ... - ... any topic relevant in applying and/or supporting dynamic languages. We solicit high-quality submissions on research results and/or experience. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions should not exceed 10 pages, LNCS format (www.springer.com/lncs). Submission ========== Prospective attendees are requested to submit a position paper or an essay (max 10 pages, references included) on a topic relevant to the workshop to Alexandre Bergel (Alexandre.Bergel(a)cs.tcd.ie). Submissions are demanded to be in .pdf format and should arrive before May 13, 2007. A selection of the best papers will be made, which will require an extension for an inclusion in a special issue in Electronic Communications of the EASST (eceasst.cs.tu-berlin.de). For this purpose, a new deadline will be set after the workshop. Moreover, Springer publishes a Workshop-Reader (as in the case of previous ECOOPs) which appears after the Conference and which contains Workshop-Reports (written by the organizers) and not the position papers submitted by the participants. Important dates =============== Submission due: May 13, 2007 Notification of Authors: May 31, 2007 ECOOP'07 Early Registration Date: June 15th. Workshop: July 31, 2007 Organisers ========== Alexandre Bergel Wolfgang De Meuter Stéphane Ducasse Oscar Nierstrasz Roel Wuyts Program committee ================= Alexandre Bergel (LERO & Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) Johan Brichau (Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium) Pascal Costanza (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium) Wolfgang De Meuter (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium) Stéphane Ducasse (University of Annecy, France) Erik Ernst (University of Aarhus, Denmark) Robert Hirschfeld (Hasso-Plattner-Institut, University of Potsdam, Germany) Oscar Nierstrasz (University of Bern, Switzerland) Matthew Flatt (University of Utah, USA) Dave Thomas (Bedarra Research Labs, Canada) Laurence Tratt (King's College London, UK) Roel Wuyts (IMEC & Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium) -- 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 Workshop '07
by Pascal Costanza 09 Apr '07

09 Apr '07

+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 4th European Lisp Workshop | | July 30 - Berlin, Germany - co-located with ECOOP 2007 | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ Important Dates Submission deadline (papers & breakout groups): May 13, 2007 Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2007 ECOOP early registration deadline: June 15, 2007 For more information visit http://lisp-ecoop07.bknr.net/ Contact: Pascal Costanza, pc(a)p-cos.net Organizers ********** Pascal Costanza, Programming Technology Lab, Vrije Universiteit Brussel Theo D'Hondt, Programming Technology Lab, Vrije Universiteit Brussel Hans Huebner, Software Developer, Berlin Arthur Lemmens, Independent Consultant, Amsterdam Christophe Rhodes, Goldsmiths College, University of London Overview ******** "...Please don't assume Lisp is only useful for Animation and Graphics, AI, Bioinformatics, B2B and E-Commerce, Data Mining, EDA/Semiconductor applications, Expert Systems, Finance, Intelligent Agents, Knowledge Management, Mechanical CAD, Modeling and Simulation, Natural Language, Optimization, Research, Risk Analysis, Scheduling, Telecom, and Web Authoring just because these are the only things they happened to list." -- Kent Pitman Lisp is one of the oldest computer languages still in use today. In the decades of its existence, Lisp has been a fruitful basis for language design experiments as well as the preferred implementation language for applications in diverse fields. The structure of Lisp makes it easy to extend the language or even to implement entirely new dialects without starting from scratch. Common Lisp, with the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS), was the first object-oriented programming language to receive an ANSI standard and retains the most complete and advanced object system of any programming language, while influencing many other object-oriented programming languages that followed. It is clear that Lisp is gaining momentum: there is a steadily growing interest in Lisp itself, with numerous user groups in existence worldwide, and in Lisp's metaprogramming notions which are being transferred to other languages, as for example in Aspect-Oriented Programming, support for Domain-Specific Languages, and so on. This workshop will address the near-future role of Lisp-based languages in research, industry and education. We solicit papers and suggestions for breakout groups that discuss the opportunities Lisp provides to capture and enhance the possibilities in software engineering. We want to promote lively discussion between researchers proposing new approaches and practitioners reporting on their experience with the strengths and limitations of current Lisp technologies. The workshop will have two components; there will be formally-presented talks, and for breakout groups discussing or working on particular topics. Additionally, there will be opportunities for short, informal talks and demonstrations on experience reports, underappreciated results, software under development, or other topics of interest. Papers ****** Formal presentations in the workshop should take between 20 minutes and half an hour; additional time will be given for questions and answers. We encourage that papers be published on the website in order to provide background information in advance. Suggested Topics New language features or abstractions Experience reports or case studies Protocol Metaprogramming and Libraries Educational approaches Software Evolution Development Aids Persistent Systems Dynamic Optimization Implementation techniques Innovative Applications Hardware Support for Lisp systems Macro-, reflective-, meta- and/or rule-based development approaches Aspect-Oriented, Domain-Oriented and Generative Programming Breakout Groups *************** The workshop will provide for the opportunity to meet face to face and work on focused topics. We will organize these breakout groups and provide for rooms and infrastructure. Suggested Topics for Breakout Groups Lisp Infrastructure Development and Distribution Language Features (e.g. Predicate Dispatching) Environments for creating web applications Brainstorming sessions for new or existing open source projects Persistence Systems Compiler technology Lisp on bare metal / Lisp hardware / Lisp operating systems Compare and enhance curricula for computer science education Submission Guidelines ********************* Potential attendees are encouraged to submit either of the following: * a long paper (10 pages) presenting scientific and/or empirical results about Lisp-based uses or new approaches for software engineering purposes; * a short essay (5 pages) defending a position about where research, practice or education based on Lisp should be heading in the near future; * a proposal for a breakout group (1-2 pages) describing the theme, an agenda and/or expected results. Submissions should be mailed as PDF to Pascal Costanza (pc(a)p-cos.net) before the submission deadline. -- Pascal Costanza, mailto:pc@p-cos.net, http://p-cos.net Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Programming Technology Lab Pleinlaan 2, B-1050 Brussel, Belgium
