+------------------------------------------------------------+ | CALL FOR PARTICIPATION | | 5th European Lisp Workshop | | July 7, Paphos, Cyprus - co-located with ECOOP 2008 | +------------------------------------------------------------+ The 5th European Lisp Workshop will be held on July 7, in Paphos, Cyprus, as part of this year's European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2008). The workshop will feature two keynote presentations: "Lisp for the 21st Century", by Mark Tarver, and "A detailed look at the Lisp Nature of Clojure", by Rich Hickey. We have also accepted four scientific papers about description logic systems, data parallelism for quantum simulation, interactive code generation, and a rant about make-method-lambda.

[hungarian-lispers] [ELW'08] Important news

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
