ILC 2014 - International Lisp Conference "Lisp on the Move"

August 14-17 2014, Université de Montréal, Montréal, Canada

Sponsored by the Association of Lisp Users

http://www.international-lisp-conference.org

Scope:

Lisp is one of the greatest ideas from computer science and a major influence for almost all programming languages and for all sufficiently complex software applications.

The International Lisp Conference is a forum for the discussion of Lisp and, in particular, the design, implementation and application of any of the Lisp dialects. We encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate.

We invite high quality submissions in all areas involving Lisp dialects and any other languages in the Lisp family, including, but not limited to, ACL2, AutoLisp, Clojure, Common Lisp, ECMAScript, Dylan, Emacs Lisp, ISLISP, Racket, Scheme, SKILL, HOP etc.

This year's focus will be directed towards integrated solutions, including mobile computing. We especially invite submissions in the following areas:

* Pervasive computing * Interoperability * Portability * Implementation challenges/tradeoffs for embedded/mobile platforms * Language support for mobile toolkits and frameworks * Language support for distribution * Language support for reliability, availability, and serviceability * Mobile IDEs * Mobile applications

Contributions are also welcome in other areas, including but not limited to:

* Language design and implementation * Language integration, inter-operation and deployment * Applications (especially commercial) * Reflection, meta-object protocols, meta-programming * Domain-specific languages * Programming paradigms and environments * Efficient parallel and concurrent computation * Language support for managing both manual and automatic GC * Theorem proving * Scientific computing * Data mining * Semantic web

Technical Programme:

Original submissions in all areas related to the conference themes are invited for the following categories:

Papers: Technical papers of up to 10 pages that describe original results.

Demonstrations: Abstracts of up to 2 pages for demonstrations of tools, libraries and applications.

Workshops: Abstracts of up to 2 pages for groups of people who intend to work on a focused topic for half a day.

Tutorials: Abstracts of up to 2 pages for in-depth presentations about topics of special interest for 1 to 2 hours.

Panel discussions: Abstracts of up to 2 pages for discussions about current themes. Panel discussion proposals must mention panel member who are willing to partake in a discussion.

The conference will also provide slots for lightning talks, to be registered on-site every day.
