A little news regarding the upcoming European Lisp Symposium is enough excuse to repost the Call for Participation, particularly since the Early Registration Deadline is approaching (it's this Thursday, 22nd April). António Leitão has managed to resurrect an Explorer Lisp Machine, cannibalising parts from a second, and some of the applications from yesteryear (or rather two decades ago) will be demonstrated at the Symposium.
May 6-7, 2010, Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisbon, Portugal
Registration for the 3rd European Lisp Symposium (ELS 2010) is now open at the Symposium website. The early registration period lasts until Thursday, 22nd April.
The purpose of the European Lisp Symposium is to provide a forum for the discussion of all aspects of the design, implementation and application of any of the Lisp dialects. We encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate.
As well as presentations of the accepted technical papers and tutorials, the programme features the following highlights:
-
Kent Pitman of HyperMeta Inc. will offer reflections on Lisp Past,
Present and Future;
-
Pascal Costanza will lead a tutorial session on Parallel
Programming in Common Lisp;
-
Matthias Felleisen of PLT will talk about languages for creating
programming languages;
-
A TI Explorer Lisp Machine, having been unplugged for the best
part of two decades, will be demonstrated;
- there will be opportunities for attendees to give lightning talks and demos of late-breaking work.
- Symposium banquet (included with registration)
- Excursion to Sintra (optional, Saturday May 8): for six centuries the favourite Summer residence of the Kings of Portugal, who were attracted by cool climates and the beauty of the town's setting.
