[eurolisp] CFPart: COP Workshop at ECOOP'09
by Jorge Vallejos 20 May '09

20 May '09

Apologies for multiple reception of this email. Call for participation = = = = = ======================================================================== International Workshop on Context-Oriented Programming (COP'09) Co-located with the 23rd European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP'09) http://prog.vub.ac.be/cop09 = = = = = ======================================================================== OVERVIEW Context information plays an increasingly important role in our information centric world. Software systems must adapt to changing contexts over time, and must change even while they are running. Unfortunately, mainstream programming languages and development environments do not support this kind of dynamic change very well, leading developers to implement complex designs to anticipate various dimensions of variability. Context-oriented Programming (COP) directly supports variability depending on a wide range of dynamic attributes, making it possible to dispatch run-time behavior on any properties of the execution context. By now, several researchers have started to work on Context-oriented Programming and related ideas, and first implementations ranging from first prototypes to mature platform extensions used in commercial deployments have illustrated how multi-dimensional dispatch can indeed be supported effectively to achieve expressive run-time variation in behavior. DATE Tuesday 7th July, Workshop ACCEPTED PAPERS The following is the preliminary list of papers accepted for presentation at the workshop. - How should context-escaping closures proceed?

Apologies for multiple postings.... ************************************************************************ 2nd European Lisp Symposium (ELS 2009) Milan, Italy, May 27-29, 2009 Universita` degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca www.european-lisp-symposium.org ************************************************************************ CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ********************** REGISTRATION IS OPEN AT www.european-lisp-symposium.org. Check out the updated program. Scope and Program Highlights: ***************************** The purpose of the European Lisp Symposium is to provide a forum for the discussion of all aspects of the design, implementation and application of any of the Lisp dialects. We encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate. The European Lisp Symposium 2009 program includes presentations of 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, Emacs Lisp, AutoLisp, ISLISP, Dylan, Clojure, and so on. The European Lisp Symposium will feature the following highlights: - Scott McKay of ITA Software will talk about how Lisp use has evolved in his circannual industry work. - Mark Tarver of Lambda Associates will talk about Qi as a viral mutation of the Lisp DNA. - Mauro Pezze` of University of Milan-Bicocca will host a panel on Programmers' Productivity from a Software Engineering point of view. - Joao Pavao Martins and Ernesto Morgado of SISCOG will talk about the role of LISP in the success of SISCOG - Christophe Rhodes will give an unportable tutorial. - Michele Simionato will give a tutorial on Scheme module system and Scheme libraries portability issues across implementations. Social Events: ************** Friday 29th evening, Conference Banquet Saturday 30th morning, Guided tour to the "Futurismo" Exhibit in the center of Milan; 2009 marks the 100th anniversary of the Futurism Manifesto; stretching it, the harbinger of Lisp 50 years later.

[eurolisp] [CfPart] 6th European Lisp Workshop at ECOOP, July 6th 2009
by Didier Verna 19 May '09

19 May '09

Apologies for multiple reception. Please forward to any person you think might be interested. +------------------------------------------------------------+ | CALL FOR PARTICIPATION | | 6th European Lisp Workshop | | July 6, Genova, Italy - co-located with ECOOP 2009 | | http://elw.bknr.net/2009 | +------------------------------------------------------------+ Important Dates =============== ECOOP early registration deadline: May 20, 2009 ECOOP late registration deadline: July 03, 2009 6th European Lisp Workshop: July 06, 2009 Please note that registration must be done with ECOOP itself. There is a reduced registration fee for workshop-only attendance. The early registration deadline is in two days, so register now! See http://ecoop09.disi.unige.it/ for details. 2009 Special News ================= * Edi Weitz will give a keynote address on the use of his notorious open source libraries in commercial / industrial application. * The workshop is sponsored by ITA Software, Inc. Please visit them at http://www.itasoftware.com/ * This year, and for the first time, the workshop proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Overview ======== "...Please don't assume Lisp is only useful for Animation and Graphics, AI, Bio-informatics, 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, one of the eldest computer languages still in use today, is gaining momentum again. The structure of Lisp makes it easy to extend the language or even to implement entirely new dialects without starting from scratch, making it the ideal candidate for writing Domain Specific Languages. 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. This workshop will address the near-future role of Lisp-based languages in research, industry and education. We solicit contributions 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. Programme ========= In addition to Edi Weitz's keynote address, the workshop will feature: - technical papers on tools to interface modelling in biology, an infrastructure for offline work in web applications and a denotational semantics for modelling the class relationships of CLOS and its MOP, - tutorials on filtered dispatch and SWCLOS, a semantic web processor. Please visit the workshop's website in the next few days for a more detailed description.
