May 6-7 2024 Federal Computing Center, Vienna, Austria

https://www.european-lisp-symposium.org/2024

Sponsored by EPITA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Important Dates ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Submission deadline: Feb. 18 2024 - Author notification: Mar. 24 2024 - Final papers due: Apr. 14 2024 - Symposium: May 6-7 2024

Scope ~~~~~ The European Lisp Symposium is a premier forum for the discussion and dissemination of all aspects of design, implementation, and application of any of the Lisp dialects, including Common Lisp, Scheme, Emacs Lisp, Clojure, Racket, ACL2, AutoLisp, ISLISP, Dylan, SKILL, Hy, Shen, Carp, Janet, uLisp, Picolisp, Gamelisp, TXR, and so on. We encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate.

The European Lisp Symposium invites high quality papers about novel research results, insights and lessons learned from practical applications, and educational perspectives. We also encourage submissions about known ideas as long as they are presented in a new setting and/or in a highly elegant way.

Topics include but are not limited to:

- context-, aspect-, domain-oriented and generative programming - macro-, reflective-, meta- and/or rule-based development approaches - language design and implementation - language integration, inter-operation, and deployment - development methodologies, support, and environments - educational approaches and perspectives - experience reports and case studies

This year, we suggest an emphasis on best practices, approaches, and technologies for building highly recursive and self-adapting architectures, in particular for AI, ML, tool integration and instruction generation, using dynamic programming languages.

Technical Program ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We invite submissions in the following forms.

* Papers: technical papers of up to 8 pages that describe original results or explain known ideas in new and elegant ways.

* Experience reports: papers of up to 6 pages describing a successful use of a Lisp dialect and/or analyzing obstacles that have kept it from working in practice.

* Tutorials: abstracts of up to 4 pages for in-depth presentations about topics of special interest.

* Demonstrations: abstracts of up to 4 pages for demonstrations of tools, libraries, and applications.

All submissions should be formatted following the ACM SIGS guidelines and include ACM Computing Classification System 2012 concepts and terms. Submissions should be uploaded to Easy Chair, at the following link http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=els2024.

Note: to help us with the review process please indicate the type of submission by entering either "paper", "demo", or "tutorial" in the Keywords field.
