[eurolisp] work in Cambridge, UK: LispWorks / Social Network Analysis
by Nick Levine 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

Ravenbrook is looking for an experienced consultant interested in joining us to work on a mature Social Network Analysis desktop application. It consists of about 50k lines of Common Lisp, targeted at LispWorks for Windows. It's a heady mix of GUI (making heavy use of LispWorks' CAPI), graphical layout, analysis some of which gets fairly mathematical, and data mangling. This year's effort will focus on usability and in particular on the automation of repetitive tasks which we've identified as being particularly time-consuming for our end users. We'll be talking to Microsoft Word. The small print: contracts for this year's work are not yet in place. So we cannot be firm about offering you any work just yet. However we are very confident indeed in getting the business at some point in the next couple of months. Whatever the start date, the work must be complete before the end of January 2012. We can be hopeful about a further year's development after that but, obviously, no promises. In short, what we're trying to do now is to locate the person we want to work with so that we can make a fairly prompt start once we get our go-ahead, and on the understanding that there may well be no more than a year's work on offer. However there might also be an opportunity to get involved with our other consulting work, or the Memory Pool System, or even video game development. Essential requirements: * you will mostly need to work at our office in Cambridge, UK * you need to be available to start work at about a month's notice * you need to be comfortable collaborating in a small team * we want the person we work with to be highly motivated, client focussed, and reliable Do get in touch. Please note: Generic CVs and resumes as Word document attachments will be trashed. Use plain text to explain why you might be good for us. Or by all means write to arrange a phone call to discuss the project. Thanks! Nick Levine Ravenbrook Limited www.ravenbrook.com lisp-job(a)ravenbrook.com

+------------------------------------------------------------+ | CALL FOR PAPERS | | 7th European Lisp Workshop | | June 22 2010, Maribor, Slovenia, co-located with ECOOP | +------------------------------------------------------------+ Important Dates =============== Submission deadline: April 25, 2010 ** EXTENDED ** Notification of acceptance: May 05, 2010 ECOOP early registration deadline: May 10, 2010 7th European Lisp Workshop: June 22, 2010 Please note that registration must be done with ECOOP itself. For more information visit http://www.european-lisp-workshop.org Contact: Didier Verna, didier(a)lrde.epita.fr Invited Speaker =============== Manuel Serrano (INRIA, France) http://www-sop.inria.fr/members/Manuel.Serrano/ 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.

[eurolisp] [CfP] 2nd International Workshop on Context-oriented Programming
by Pascal Costanza 22 Feb '10

22 Feb '10

Call for Papers =============== 2nd International Workshop on Context-oriented Programming (COP'10) at ECOOP 2010, Maribor, Slovenia, June 21 or 22, 2010 http://soft.vub.ac.be/cop10/ Important Dates =============== - Paper submission: April 19, 2010 - Paper notification: May 5, 2010 - Early registration: May 10, 2010 Background ========== 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. The goal of Context-oriented Programming (COP) is to directly support variability depending on a wide range of dynamic attributes, making it possible to dispatch runtime behavior on any properties of the execution context. Several researchers are working on Context-oriented Programming and related ideas, and implementations ranging from prototypes to mature platform extensions used in commercial deployments have illustrated how multi-dimensional dispatch can indeed be supported effectively to achieve expressive runtime variation in behavior. This is a follow-up event to the first successful COP'09 workshop, where 10 highly interesting papers were presented and which attracted an audience of around 30 participants. Submission Guidelines ===================== Potential attendants are expected to submit either a paper of 4-6 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 2-3 pages in ACM format 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 workshop website to submit your paper. 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 descriptions) - Interaction with non-functional programming concerns (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, design patterns) - Runtime support for Context-oriented Programming (e.g., reflection, dynamic binding) - Tool support (e.g. design tools, debuggers) Program Committee ================= Sven Apel, University of Passau, Germany Patrick Eugster, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA Sebastian Gonzalez, Universite catholique de Louvain, Belgium Michael Haupt, Hasso-Plattner-Institut, Potsdam, Germany Tetsuo Kamina, University of Tokyo, Japan Hidehiko Masuhara, University of Tokyo, Japan Hans Schippers, University of Antwerp, Belgium Eddy Truyen, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium Didier Verna, EPITA Research and Development Laboratory, Paris, France Organizing Committee ==================== Pascal Costanza, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium Richard P.
