[eurolisp] CFP: COP Workshop at ECOOP'09
by Jorge Vallejos 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

(Apologies for multiple reception of this email) CALL FOR PAPERS 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 … [View More]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. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Interesting application domains and scenarios * Programming language abstractions for context-oriented programming (e.g. dynamic scoping, roles, traits, prototype-based extensions) * Configuration languages (e.g. feature description interpreters, transformational approaches) * Interaction between non-functional programming concerns and context- oriented programming (e.g. security, persistence, concurrency, distribution). * Modularization approaches for context-oriented programming (e.g. aspects, modules, layers, plugins). * Guidelines to include context-oriented programming in programs (e.g. best-practices, patterns) * Runtime support for context-oriented programming (e.g. reflection, dynamic binding) * Tool support SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Potential attendants are expected to submit either a paper of 4 (at most 6) pages in ACM format, presenting scientific and/or empirical results about uses of context-oriented programming or new approaches for software engineering purposes or a short essay of 2 (at most 3 pages) defending a position about where research on context-oriented programming should be heading in the near future. Submissions are required in electronic form. Please use the link below to submit your paper at the EasyChair conference system: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/conference_info.cgi?a=c012bfd03377 Submissions will be selected by our selection committee. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM digital library.

[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

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 | +-------------------------------------… [View More]-----------------------+ 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 [View Less]
