by Clemens Fruhwirth 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

Hi folks, I will attend EuroGP 2006, April 10-12, Budapest, http://evonet.lri.fr/eurogp2006/ If anyone of the European Lisp Community shows up there too (presumably because of the interest in the subject), I would be _very_ interested in having a chat.

[eurolisp] [CfP] Workshop on Generic Programming 2006
by Pascal Costanza 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

======================================================================== ==== CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Generic Programming 2006 Portland, Oregon, 16th September 2006 The Workshop on Generic Programming is sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN and forms part of ICFP 2006. Previous Workshops on Generic Programming have been held in Marstrand (affiliated with MPC), Ponte de Lima (affiliated with MPC), Nottingham (informal workshop), Dagstuhl (IFIP WG2.1 Working Conference), Oxford (informal workshop), and Utrecht (informal workshop). http://www.informatik.uni-bonn.de/~ralf/wgp2006.{html,pdf,ps,txt} ======================================================================== ==== Scope ----- Generic programming is about making programs more adaptable by making them more general. Generic programs often embody non-traditional kinds of polymorphism; ordinary programs are obtained from them by suitably instantiating their parameters. In contrast with normal programs, the parameters of a generic program are often quite rich in structure; for example they may be other programs, types or type constructors, class hierarchies, or even programming paradigms. Generic programming techniques have always been of interest, both to practitioners and to theoreticians, but only recently have generic programming techniques become a specific focus of research in the functional and object-oriented programming language communities. This workshop will bring together leading researchers in generic programming from around the world, and feature papers capturing the state of the art in this important emerging area. We welcome contributions on all aspects, theoretical as well as practical, of o adaptive object-oriented programming, o aspect-oriented programming, o component-based programming, o generic programming, o meta-programming, o polytypic programming, o and so on. Submission details ------------------ Deadline for submission: 3rd June 2006 Notification of acceptance: 24th June 2006 Final submission due: 8th July 2006 Workshop: 16th September 2006 Authors should submit papers, in postscript or PDF format, formatted for A4 paper, to Ralf Hinze (ralf(a)informatik.uni-bonn.de) by 3rd June 2006. The length should be restricted to 12 pages in standard (two-column, 9pt) ACM. Accepted papers are published by the ACM and will additionally appear in the ACM digital library.

[eurolisp] [CfP] 3rd European Lisp Workshop
by Pascal Costanza 23 Feb '06

23 Feb '06

+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 3rd European Lisp Workshop | | July 3 & 4 - Nantes, Frances - co-located with ECOOP 2006 | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ Important Dates Submission deadline (papers & breakout groups): April 1, 2006 Notification of acceptance: May 1, 2006 ECOOP early registration deadline: May 23, 2006 For more information visit http://lisp-ecoop06.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 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 two-day 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 on separate days; there will be a day for formally-presented talks, and a day 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 * 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.

[eurolisp] [ANN] New versions of Closer libraries + AspectL
by Pascal Costanza 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

New versions of the libraries in the Closer Project have been released, including the Closer to MOP compatibility layer for the CLOS MOP and the ContextL extension for Context-oriented Programming. Furthermore, AspectL has been moved to the Closer Project, with its new version 0.7. Previously, it was an independent project that I haven't maintained anymore. Now that bitrot has started to increase, I have ported it to the Closer to MOP layer which turned out to be a surprisingly smooth process. This especially means that the number of Common Lisp implementations that it runs on has increased. Two bugs in Allegro Common Lisp that have led to problems in conjunction with AspectL have also been fixed in the meantime: A bug that has prevented a non-special slot to be turned into a special slot has been fixed in Allegro 7.0 and 8.0, and the limitation that a defmethod form doesn't accept more than one qualifier has been fixed in Allegro 8.0. Allegro Common Lisp 8.0 now supports the full functionality of AspectL. Furthermore, the following changes have been made to AspectL: - Some of the functionality was previously ported from AspectL to ContextL, mostly because it is not genuine aspect-oriented functionality. Those parts are now removed from AspectL implementation-wise in order to avoid code duplication. Instead, AspectL imports that functionality from ContextL, and exports it again for compatibility reasons. Existing AspectL code should mostly work as before. - Likewise, the CLOS MOP wrappers are completely removed because Closer to MOP supports compatibility across different CLOS MOP implementations much better. - Finally, the package structure is much simplified. Instead of placing every functionality in its own package, there is now the (previously already available) ASPECTL package from which everything can be imported. The previous scheme was too complicated and offered no obvious advantages. See http://common-lisp.net/project/closer/ for the Closer Project and http://common-lisp.net/project/closer/aspectl.html for AspectL.
