Lisp50@OOPSLA ...celebrating the 50th birthday of Lisp at OOPSLA 2008 Monday, October 20, 2008 Nashville, Tennessee, USA co-located with OOPSLA 2008 participation is free for all OOPSLA participants registration for at least one conference day at OOPSLA is required URL: http:www.lisp50.org Feed: http://lisp50.blogspot.com Invited Speakers + William Clinger, Northeastern University, USA + Pascal Costanza, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium + Richard Gabriel, IBM Research, USA + Rich Hickey, Independent Consultant, USA + Alan Kay, Viewpoints Research Institute, USA + Fritz Kunze, USA + Ora Lassila, Nokia Research Center, USA + John McCarthy, USA + Kent Pitman, PTC, USA + Guy Steele, Sun Microsystems Laboratories, USA + Herbert Stoyan, University of Erlangen, Germany + Warren Teitelman, Google Inc., USA + JonL White, USA Titles, abstracts, biographies and schedule will be announced at the Lisp50 webpage and blog in the coming days and weeks. Abstract In October 1958, John McCarthy published one in a series of reports about his then ongoing effort for designing a new programming language that would be especially suited for achieving artificial intelligence. That report was the first one to use the name LISP for this new programming language. 50 years later, Lisp is still in use. This year we are celebrating Lisp's 50th birthday. OOPSLA 2008 is an excellent venue for such a celebration, because object-oriented programming benefited heavily from Lisp ideas and because OOPSLA 2008 takes place in October, exactly 50 years after the name Lisp has been used publicly for the first time. We will have talks by John McCarthy himself, and numerous other influential Lispers from the past five decades. We will also take a look at the next 50 years of Lisp.

[eurolisp] My travel plans for September - pubs, anyone?
by Andreas Fuchs 09 Sep '08

09 Sep '08

Hi there, It seems like I'll get to travel around Europe in the the next few weeks, so this might be a good time to arrange meetings of fellow lispers, preferably in the evening, possibly involving sitting down somewhere, and ordering beverages. (-: I'll be in London for a week on September 15-19, and in Amsterdam on September 24-26. So, if local lispers are interested in meeting up, please announce on this list (: -- Andreas Fuchs, (http://|im:asf@|mailto:asf@)boinkor.net, antifuchs

[eurolisp] [ELW'08] Important news
by Didier Verna 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Hello, here are some important news on the 5th European Lisp Workshop, July 7, Pahpos, Cyprus, co-located with ECOOP 2008: * The paper selection process is over; the final programme will be available shortly. Stay tuned for the upcoming call for participation! * We now have the abstracts for the two keynote presentations: Lisp for the 21st Century (Mark Tarver) As Lisp reaches its 50th anniversary, the talk looks at some of the reasons why Lisp has not found a wider acceptance amongst the programming community. Part of the reasons lie in a vicious cycle between education and industry within which Lisp is trapped. One solution is the L21 project - to produce a rationalized and revised update of Lisp for the C21. Qi fits many of the constraints of the L21 project. The talk concludes on what needs to be done within Qi and the Lisp world to bring Lisp to the center stage. A Detailed Look at the Lisp Nature of Clojure (Rich Hickey) The small essential core of Lisp makes dialects easy to define and implement. Most dialects are viewed skeptically by the community, as their features can be realized via the extensibility mechanisms of Scheme or Common Lisp. However, functional programming, interoperability, extensibility and concurrency objectives call for different decisions at many Lisp design points. Meeting those objectives in a Lisp dialect testifies to the continued vitality of the Lisp idea. This talk will provide a rationale for Clojure as a substantive and unique dialect of Lisp, and details of its design and implementation on the JVM. * Courtesy of EPITA, the workshop will have printed proceedings. A PDF version will also be made available on the website after the event. * Finally, please note that the official ELW website, http://elw.bknr.net, now contains an archive of all past occurrences of the workshop. -- 5th European Lisp Workshop at ECOOP 2008, July 7: http://elw.bknr.net/2008/ Didier Verna, didier(a)lrde.epita.fr, http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~didier EPITA / LRDE, 14-16 rue Voltaire Tel.+33 (0)1 44 08 01 85 94276 Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, France Fax.+33 (0)1 53 14 59 22 didier(a)xemacs.org

[eurolisp] [ELW'08] Deadline extension: 5th European Lisp Workshop
by Didier Verna 06 May '08

06 May '08

Hello, we have extended the deadline for the 5th European Lisp Workshop. The new timetable gives two more weeks for paper submission. Please find the updated call for papers below. +------------------------------------------------------------+ | CALL FOR PAPERS | | 5th European Lisp Workshop | | July 7, Paphos, Cyprus - co-located with ECOOP 2008 | +------------------------------------------------------------+ Important Dates: **************** Submission deadline (papers & breakout groups): May 18, 2008 Notification of acceptance: May 26, 2008 ECOOP early registration deadline: June 01, 2008 5th European Lisp Workshop: July 07, 2008 For more information visit http://elw.bknr.net/2008/ Contact: Didier Verna, didier(a)lrde.epita.fr Organizers ********** Didier Verna, EPITA Research and Development Laboratory, Paris Christophe Rhodes, Goldsmiths College, University of London Charlotte Herzeel, Programming Technology Lab, Vrije Universiteit, Brussel Hans Hübner, Software Developer, Berlin 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 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, to provide all participants with 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: - 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 Didier Verna (didier(a)lrde.epita.fr) before the submission deadline. -- 5th European Lisp Workshop at ECOOP 2008, July 7: http://elw.bknr.net/2008/ Didier Verna, didier(a)lrde.epita.fr, http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~didier EPITA / LRDE, 14-16 rue Voltaire Tel.+33 (0)1 44 08 01 85 94276 Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, France Fax.+33 (0)1 53 14 59 22 didier(a)xemacs.org
