[munich-lisp] Reminder: [CFP] 5th European Lisp Workshop, July 7 2008, Cyprus
by Didier Verna 16 Apr '08

16 Apr '08

+------------------------------------------------------------+ | CALL FOR PAPERS | | 5th European Lisp Workshop | | July 7, Paphos, Cyprus - co-located with ECOOP 2008 | +------------------------------------------------------------+ Important Dates: **************** Submission deadline (papers & breakout groups): May 04, 2008 Notification of acceptance: May 19, 2008 ECOOP early registration deadline: June 01, 2008 5th European Lisp Workshop: July 07, 2008 For more information visit http://elw.bknr.net/2008/ Contact: Didier Verna, didier(a)lrde.epita.fr Organizers ********** Didier Verna, EPITA Research and Development Laboratory, Paris Christophe Rhodes, Goldsmiths College, University of London Charlotte Herzeel, Programming Technology Lab, Vrije Universiteit, Brussel Hans Hübner, Software Developer, Berlin Overview ******** "...Please don't assume Lisp is only useful for Animation and Graphics, AI, Bioinformatics, 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 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 research, practice or education based on Lisp should be heading in the near future, - a proposal for a breakout group (1-2 pages) describing the theme, an agenda and/or expected results. Submissions should be mailed as PDF to Didier Verna (didier(a)lrde.epita.fr) before the submission deadline. -- 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

Functional programming emphasizes the evaluation of expressions rather than the execution of commands. We focus on functional programming techniques in “programming in the real world” and bridge the gap between results presented at programming conferences and material from textbooks on functional programming. In this school you will receive in depth lectures about advanced functional programming techniques, taught by experts in the field. Lectures are accompanied by practical problems to be solved by the students at the school. AFP 2008 is hosted by the Radboud University Nijmegen, and Utrecht University, The Netherlands, and will be held in the rural setting of Center Parcs “Het Heijderbos”, Heijen (in the vicinity of Nijmegen), The Netherlands. AFP 2008 is co-located with the 9th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP’08), which is held after AFP’08.

HENK BARENDREGT http://www.st.cs.ru.nl/AFP_TFP_2008/ [EXTENDED DEADLINE SUBMISSIONS: march 10 2008] [ SUBMISSION SITE IS OPEN ] [ REGISTRATION SITE IS OPEN ] The symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming languages, focusing on providing a broad view of current and future trends in Functional Programming. It aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results through acceptance by extended abstracts and full papers. A formal post-symposium refereeing process selects the best articles presented at the symposium for publication in a high-profile volume. TFP 2008 is hosted by the Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands, and will be held in the rural setting of Center Parcs “Het Heijderbos”, Heijen (in the vicinity of Nijmegen), The Netherlands. TFP 2008 is co-located with the 6th Int’l. Summer School on Advanced Functional Programming (AFP’08), which is held immediately before TFP’08. SCOPE OF THE SYMPOSIUM The symposium recognizes that new trends may arise through various routes. As part of the Symposium's focus on trends we therefore identify the following five article categories. High-quality articles are solicited in any of these categories: Research: leading-edge, previously unpublished research. Position: on what new trends should or should not be. Project: descriptions of recently started new projects. Evaluation: what lessons can be drawn from a finished project. Overview: summarizing work with respect to a trendy subject. Articles must be original and not submitted for simultaneous publication to any other forum. They may consider any aspect of functional programming: theoretical, implementation-oriented, or more experience-oriented. Applications of functional programming techniques to other languages are also within the scope of the symposium. Contributions on the following subject areas are particularly welcomed: * Dependently Typed Functional Programming * Validation and Verification of Functional Programs * Debugging for Functional Languages * Functional Programming and Security * Functional Programming and Mobility * Functional Programming to Animate/Prototype/Implement Systems from Formal or Semi-Formal Specifications * Functional Languages for Telecommunications Applications * Functional Languages for Embedded Systems * Functional Programming Applied to Global Computing * Functional GRIDs * Functional Programming Ideas in Imperative or Object-Oriented Settings (and the converse) * Interoperability with Imperative Programming Languages * Novel Memory Management Techniques * Parallel/Concurrent Functional Languages * Program Transformation Techniques * Empirical Performance Studies * Abstract/Virtual Machines and Compilers for Functional Languages * New Implementation Strategies * Any new emerging trend in the functional programming area If you are in doubt on whether your article is within the scope of TFP, please contact the TFP 2008 program chairs, Peter Achten and Pieter Koopman, at afp_tfp_2008(a)cs.ru.nl. SUBMISSION AND DRAFT PROCEEDINGS Acceptance of articles for presentation at the symposium is based on the review of full papers (15 pages) and extended abstracts (at least 3 pages) by the program committee. TFP encourages PhD students to submit papers. PhD students may request the program committee to provide extensive feedback on their full papers at the time of submission.

[munich-lisp] [CFP] 5th European Lisp Workshop, July 07 - Paphos, Cyprus
by Didier Verna 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

+------------------------------------------------------------+ | CALL FOR PAPERS | | 5th European Lisp Workshop | | July 7, Paphos, Cyprus - co-located with ECOOP 2008 | +------------------------------------------------------------+ Important Dates: **************** Submission deadline (papers & breakout groups): May 04, 2008 Notification of acceptance: May 19, 2008 ECOOP early registration deadline: June 01, 2008 5th European Lisp Workshop: July 07, 2008 For more information visit http://elw.bknr.net/2008/ Contact: Didier Verna, didier(a)lrde.epita.fr Organizers ********** Didier Verna, EPITA Research and Development Laboratory, Paris Christophe Rhodes, Goldsmiths College, University of London Charlotte Herzeel, Programming Technology Lab, Vrije Universiteit, Brussel Hans Hübner, Software Developer, Berlin Overview ******** "...Please don't assume Lisp is only useful for Animation and Graphics, AI, Bioinformatics, 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 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 research, practice or education based on Lisp should be heading in the near future, - a proposal for a breakout group (1-2 pages) describing the theme, an agenda and/or expected results. Submissions should be mailed as PDF to Didier Verna (didier(a)lrde.epita.fr) before the submission deadline. -- Resistance is futile. You will be jazzimilated.

1ST CALL FOR PARTICIPATION 6TH INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL ON ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING 2008 (AFP ’08) RADBOUD UNIVERSITY NIJMEGEN AND UTRECHT UNIVERSITY, THE NETHERLANDS MAY 19-24, 2008 http://www.st.cs.ru.nl/AFP_TFP_2008/ AFP is a series of international summer schools which aims to bring computer scientists, in particular young researchers and programmers, up to date with the latest advances in practical advanced functional programming. Functional programming emphasizes the evaluation of expressions rather than the execution of commands. We focus on functional programming techniques in “programming in the real world” and bridge the gap between results presented at programming conferences and material from textbooks on functional programming. In this school you will receive in depth lectures about advanced functional programming techniques, taught by experts in the field. Lectures are accompanied by practical problems to be solved by the students at the school. AFP 2008 is hosted by the Radboud University Nijmegen, and Utrecht University, The Netherlands, and will be held in the rural setting of Center Parcs “Het Heijderbos”, Heijen (in the vicinity of Nijmegen), The Netherlands. AFP 2008 is co-located with the 9th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP’08), which is held after AFP’08. PROGRAM INFORMATION The following speakers will give the lectures (in alphabetic order): Umut Acar (Toyota Technological Institute, University of Chicago, US) Richard Bird (University of Oxford, UK) Olivier Danvy (University of Aarhus, DK) Johan Jeuring (Utrecht University, NL) Mark Jones (Portland State University, US) Ulf Norell (Chalmers University, SE) Simon Peyton Jones (Microsoft Research, UK) Rinus Plasmeijer (Radboud University Nijmegen, NL) During the summer school, all participants receive printed lecture notes. Participants are expected to have a notebook, in order to be able to participate with the practical problems. After the summer school, all lecture notes will be revised, reviewed, and published in the LNCS series of Springer. All registered participants receive a copy of these lecture notes. VENUE INFORMATION AFP (and TFP) is held in The Netherlands, at Center Parcs “Het Heijderbos” which is a holiday resort in the woodlands near the city of Nijmegen. We accomodate participants in DeLuxe Cottages, each of which has three separate bed-rooms, shared bathroom, toilet, kitchen, and terrace. Cottages will be shared by three participants. If you wish to reduce costs, you can choose to share a bedroom. The summer school and symposium will take place in the business center of the venue. Breakfast, lunch and diner is included within the limits of the venue. The resort features, amongst others, a sub-tropical swimming pool (free for participants), restaurants, shops, water sports lake, midget golf court, squash court, and outdoor and indoor tennis courts. Nijmegen is considered to be the oldest city of the Netherlands, being approximately 2000 years old. Nijmegen is located at the east border of the Netherlands, near Germany. Nijmegen can be reached easily from several airports such as Schiphol airport, Eindhoven airport, and Düsseldorf airport, as well as by train and car. Conveniently close to Center Parcs “Het Heijderbos” you will find airport Weeze in Germany. The venue Center Parcs “Het Heijderbos” can be reached from Nijmegen by train to Boxmeer (25 minutes). From there you will need to order a taxi. The venue can also be reached by car: parking is free for participants of AFP and TFP. SUMMER SCHOOL FEES AFP 2008 includes accommodation, conference, breakfast – lunch – diner, speakers, and proceedings costs. The early registration fee is € 995; the late registration fee is € 1095.

2ND CALL FOR PAPERS TRENDS IN FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING 2008 RADBOUD UNIVERSITY NIJMEGEN, THE NETHERLANDS MAY 26-28, 2008 INVITED SPEAKER: PROF. HENK BARENDREGT http://www.st.cs.ru.nl/AFP_TFP_2008/ The symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (TFP) is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming languages, focusing on providing a broad view of current and future trends in Functional Programming. It aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results through acceptance by extended abstracts and full papers. A formal post-symposium refereeing process selects the best articles presented at the symposium for publication in a high-profile volume. TFP 2008 is hosted by the Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands, and will be held in the rural setting of Center Parcs “Het Heijderbos”, Heijen (in the vicinity of Nijmegen), The Netherlands. TFP 2008 is co-located with the 6th Int’l. Summer School on Advanced Functional Programming (AFP’08), which is held immediately before TFP’08. SCOPE OF THE SYMPOSIUM The symposium recognizes that new trends may arise through various routes. As part of the Symposium's focus on trends we therefore identify the following five article categories. High-quality articles are solicited in any of these categories: Research: leading-edge, previously unpublished research. Position: on what new trends should or should not be. Project: descriptions of recently started new projects. Evaluation: what lessons can be drawn from a finished project. Overview: summarizing work with respect to a trendy subject. Articles must be original and not submitted for simultaneous publication to any other forum. They may consider any aspect of functional programming: theoretical, implementation-oriented, or more experience-oriented. Applications of functional programming techniques to other languages are also within the scope of the symposium. Contributions on the following subject areas are particularly welcomed: * Dependently Typed Functional Programming * Validation and Verification of Functional Programs * Debugging for Functional Languages * Functional Programming and Security * Functional Programming and Mobility * Functional Programming to Animate/Prototype/Implement Systems from Formal or Semi-Formal Specifications * Functional Languages for Telecommunications Applications * Functional Languages for Embedded Systems * Functional Programming Applied to Global Computing * Functional GRIDs * Functional Programming Ideas in Imperative or Object-Oriented Settings (and the converse) * Interoperability with Imperative Programming Languages * Novel Memory Management Techniques * Parallel/Concurrent Functional Languages * Program Transformation Techniques * Empirical Performance Studies * Abstract/Virtual Machines and Compilers for Functional Languages * New Implementation Strategies * Any new emerging trend in the functional programming area If you are in doubt on whether your article is within the scope of TFP, please contact the TFP 2008 program chairs, Peter Achten and Pieter Koopman, at afp_tfp_2008(a)cs.ru.nl. SUBMISSION AND DRAFT PROCEEDINGS Acceptance of articles for presentation at the symposium is based on the review of full papers (15 pages) and extended abstracts (at least 3 pages) by the program committee. TFP encourages PhD students to submit papers. PhD students may request the program committee to provide extensive feedback on their full papers at the time of submission. Full papers describing work accepted for presentation must be completed before the symposium for publication in the draft proceedings and on-line. Further details can be found at the TFP 2008 website http://www.st.cs.ru.nl/AFP_TFP_2008/. POST-SYMPOSIUM REFEREEING AND PUBLICATION In addition to the draft symposium proceedings, we continue the TFP tradition of publishing a high-quality subset of contributions in the Intellect series on Trends in Functional Programming.
