TFP 2010: 11th SYMPOSIUM ON TRENDS IN FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING May 17-19, 2010 University of Oklahoma http://www.cs.ou.edu/tfp2010/ The Program Committee for TFP 2010 seeks papers on trends in functional programming. The symposium is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming. It embraces a broad view of current and future trends in functional programming and aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results. TFP considers both full papers and extended abstracts for presentation at the symposium. A formal refereeing process after the symposium selects the best presentations for publication in a high-profile volume. IMPORTANT DATES * Apr 2: Submission of papers and abstracts * Apr 14: Notification of acceptance * May 7: Camera-ready, full papers for draft proceedings * May 17-19: TFP Symposium SCOPE OF THE SYMPOSIUM Articles must be original and not submitted to any other forum for publication. They may consider any aspect of functional programming. Theory, implementation, experience, applications, and the use of functional programming methods in other languages all lie within the scope of the symposium. Articles may fall in any of the following categories: * Research: leading-edge, previously unpublished research * Position: advocating or critiquing new trends * Project: descriptions of new or recently initiated projects * Evaluation: lessons drawn from completed projects * Overview: summaries of trendy work A list of suggested topics and other details concerning submissions can be found on the symposium website: http://www.cs.ou.edu/tfp2010/call.html#topics The suggested topics are extensive but by no means exhaustive. Please contact the program chair, Rex Page, tfp2010(a)cs.ou.edu, if you are in doubt about whether your topic is within the TFP scope. BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD TFP traditionally pays special attention to research conducted by students, acknowledging that students commonly develop new subject trends. A prize for the best student paper is awarded each year. SUBMISSION AND DRAFT PROCEEDINGS Full papers (up to 15 pages) and extended abstracts (3 to 6 pages, to be expanded to full papers if accepted) submitted for presentation at the symposium are screened by the program committee. A draft proceedings available at the conference will contain all accepted papers and all accepted abstracts that have been expanded to full papers. Each submission must declare its category (research, position, project, evaluation, or overview). Authors who are students should so indicate when they submit their article. The Program Committee will provide extra feedback for student papers to help compensate for differences between students and other researchers in experience with the publication process. POST-SYMPOSIUM REFEREEING AND PUBLICATION In addition to the draft symposium proceedings, we intend to continue the TFP tradition of publishing a high-quality volume containing the best papers from the symposium. All TFP authors will be invited to submit revised papers after the symposium. These will be refereed using normal conference standards, and the best papers will be selected for publication. Papers will be judged on their contributions with appropriate criteria applied to each category of paper.

[munich-lisp] Next meeting
by Tobias C. Rittweiler 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Experience seems to tell that trying to schedule a meeting is only successfull if the meeting is coupled with a presentation, and the presenter coordinates when the meeting is supposed to take place. On that experience, does anyone want to present something in the end of September? Notice that the scope of the presentation is entirely left to you. So it's not bad if it's just 10 minutes about some personal project you're currently working on. Just so it'll do its purpose on getting us to meet somewhere. :-) Personally, I'd be interested in an introduction to Clojure. So anyone? -T. -- Diese Nachricht wurde auf Viren und andere gefaerliche Inhalte untersucht und ist - aktuelle Virenscanner vorausgesetzt - sauber. Freebits E-Mail Virus Scanner

Hello Everybody, I am new to this lis(t/p). I subscribed to this list in order to find lispers in and around Munich. Since I did not get any email since subscription - and the archives date back to June - I wonder what (list-active-p munich-lisp(a)common-lisp.net) would evaluate to... cheers, Fabio Leimgruber

[munich-lisp] [Final CfPart] 6th European Lisp Workshop, July 6th, Genova, Italy
by Didier Verna 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

+------------------------------------------------------------+ | FINAL CALL FOR PARTICIPATION | | 6th European Lisp Workshop | | July 6, Genova, Italy - co-located with ECOOP 2009 | | http://elw.bknr.net/2009 | +------------------------------------------------------------+ Important Dates =============== ECOOP late registration deadline: July 03, 2009 6th European Lisp Workshop: July 06, 2009 Please note that registration must be done with ECOOP itself. There is a reduced registration fee for workshop-only attendance. The early registration deadline is in two days, so register now! See http://ecoop09.disi.unige.it/ for details. 2009 Special News ================= * Edi Weitz will give a keynote address on the use of his notorious open source libraries in commercial / industrial application. * The workshop is sponsored by ITA Software, Inc. Please visit them at http://www.itasoftware.com/ * This year, and for the first time, the workshop proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library. 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. Programme ========= In addition to Edi Weitz's keynote address, the workshop will feature four technical papers and two tutorials. Please visit the programme web page (http://elw2009.bknr.net/programme) for a detailed description. Organizers ========== Didier Verna, EPITA Research and Development Laboratory, Paris Charlotte Herzeel, Programming Technology Lab, Vrije Universiteit, Brussel Robert Strandh, LaBRI, University of Bordeaux I, France Christophe Rhodes, Goldsmiths College, University of London Hans Hübner, Software Developer, Berlin -- Resistance is futile.

[munich-lisp] when's the next meeting?
by Jim Newton 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Would anyone like to have meeting at an outdoor place soon since it seems to be warming up (today excluded :-( ). For example: Coelner im Paragraph [Winzererstr.] I just returned from the European Lisp Symposium 2009 (http://www.european-lisp-symposium.org/) in Milan. There were several presentations there which might be quite interesting to present again at the local munich meeting. I'm checking with the authors/presenters before posting their links. so hopefully more to come... In the mean time I've added a couple of suggested topics to the Future meeting topics list on the wiki. 1. CLOS (not from ELS, but we discussed this possiblity before) 2. Software Transactional Memory (from ELS) -jim

[munich-lisp] Wiki
by Alexander Lehmann 21 May '09

21 May '09

Hi fellow lispers, I couldn't figure out when and by whom this "update" was done but right now it says "If you heard about the Lisp language and now are curious about it, just drop by and find people who love to talk about what makes Lisp so great, or why Lisp and all other programming languages suck!" on top of the Wiki's homepage. Pay attention to the end of the last sentence. Should there be some lack of security or what is this? -- Alexander
