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 remains 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.
The workshop will have two components: there will be formal talks, and
interactive turorial/demo/coding sessions.
Papers
======
Formal presentations in the workshop should take between 20 minutes
and half an hour; additional time will be given for questions and
answers. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to):
- Context-, aspect-, domain-oriented and generative programming
- Macro-, reflective-, meta- and/or rule-based development approaches
- Protocol meta-programming and libraries
- New language features and abstractions
- Software evolution
- Development aids
- Persistent systems
- Dynamic optimization
- Implementation techniques
- Hardware Support
- Efficiency, distribution and parallel programming
- Educational approaches and perspectives
- Experience reports and case studies
Interactive Tutorial/Demo/Coding Sessions
=========================================
Additionally, we invite less formal talks in the form of interactive
tutorial/demo/coding sessions. The purpose of these sessions is both
to demonstrate and receive feedback on any interesting Lisp system,
either stable or under development. Being less formal than technical
paper presentations, these sessions are expected to be highly
interactive.
Submission Guidelines
=====================
Potential contributors are encouraged to submit:
- a long paper (around 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 an interactive tutorial/demo/coding session (1-2
pages) describing the involved library or application, and the
subject of the session.
Papers (both long and short) should be formatted following the ACM SIGS
guidelines and include ACM classification categories and terms (see below).
Authors will later be required to sign an ACM copyright form, as the workshop
proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
For more information on the submission guidelines and the ACM keywords, see:

Dynamic Languages Symposium 2010
October 18, 2010
Co-located with SPLASH (OOPSLA) 2010
In cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN
John Ascuaga's Nugget, Reno/Tahoe, Nevada, USA
http://www.dynamic-languages-symposium.org/dls-10/
***** Call for papers *****
The 6th Dynamic Languages Symposium (DLS) at the conference formerly known as
OOPSLA is a forum for discussion of dynamic languages, their implementation
and application. While mature dynamic languages including Smalltalk, Lisp,
Scheme, Self, Prolog, and APL continue to grow and inspire new converts, a
new generation of dynamic scripting languages such as Python, Ruby, PHP, Tcl,
and JavaScript are successful in a wide range of applications. DLS provides a
place for researchers and practitioners to come together and share their
knowledge, experience, and ideas for future research and development.
DLS 2010 invites high quality papers reporting original research, innovative
contributions or experience related to dynamic languages, their
implementation and application. Accepted Papers will be published in the ACM
Digital Library.
Areas of interest include but are not limited to:
* Innovative language features and implementation techniques
* Development and platform support, tools
* Interesting applications
* Domain-oriented programming
* Very late binding, dynamic composition, and runtime adaptation
* Reflection and meta-programming
* Software evolution
* Language symbiosis and multi-paradigm languages
* Dynamic optimization
* Hardware support
* Experience reports and case studies
* Educational approaches and perspectives
* Object-oriented, aspect-oriented, and context-oriented programming
=== Submissions and proceedings ===
We invite original contributions that neither have 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.
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 ACM Digital Library.
Papers are to be submitted electronically at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=dls2010 in PDF format. Submissions
must not exceed 12 pages and need to use the ACM format, templates for which
can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html.
=== Important dates ===
Submission of papers: June 1, 2010 (hard deadline)
Author notification: July 15, 2010
Final versions due: August 13, 2010
DLS 2010: October 18, 2010
SPLASH/OOPSLA 2010: October 17-21, 2010
