This year, and for the first time, the workshop proceedings will be
published in the ACM Digital Library. Also, the workshop will feature
interactive tutorial/demo/coding sessions (see below).
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 retains 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):
- Experience reports / Case studies
- Educational approaches
- Software Evolution
- Development Aids
- Persistent Systems
- Dynamic Optimization
- Implementation techniques
- Hardware Support
- Efficiency / Distribution / Parallel programming
- Macro-, reflective-, meta- and/or rule-based development approaches
- Protocol Meta-programming and Libraries
- Context-Oriented, Domain-Oriented and Generative Programming
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 to
both demonstrate and receive feedback on any interesting Lisp system,
either stable or under development. Being less formal than technical
paper presentations, it is expected that these sessions 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 (see
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and
include ACM classification categories and terms (see
http://www.acm.org/about/class/1998). Authors will later be required
to sign an ACM copyright form.
Submissions should be mailed as PDF to Didier Verna
(didier(a)lrde.epita.fr) before the submission deadline.

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.

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
