LISP AND SYMBOLIC COMPUTATION:
An International Journal
10/27/86
CALL FOR PAPERS
LISP AND SYMBOLIC COMPUTATION: An International Journal (LASC) is a
new journal published by Kluwer Academic Publishers. Richard P.
Gabriel, Lucid, Inc. and Guy L. Steele Jr., Thinking Machines, Inc.
are Editors-in-Chief.
The aim of this new journal is to present a forum for current and
evolving symbolic computing, focusing on LISP and object-oriented
programming. The scope includes:
* Programming language notations for symbolic computing
(e.g., data abstraction, parallelism, lazy evaluation,
infinite data objects, self-reference, message-passing,
generic functions, inheritance, encapsulation,
protection, metaobjects).
* Implementations and techniques (e.g., specialized
architectures, compiler design, combinatory models,
garbage collection, storage management, performance
analysis, smalltalks, flavors, common loops, etc.).
* Programming logics (e.g., semantics and reasoning about
programs, types and type inference).
* Programming environments and tools (e.g.,
Knowledge-based programming tools, program
transformations, specifications, debugging tools).
* Applications and experience with symbolic computing
(e.g., real-time programming, artificial intelligence
tools, experience with LISP, object-oriented
programming, window systems, user interfaces, operating
systems, parallel/distributed computing.
REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBMISSION
Timetable. Authors must submit five (5) complete copies of their
papers. Notice of acceptance or rejection will be sent to the first
author.
Appearance. Each copy of the paper should be clearly legible.
Papers should be printed on 8-1/2 by 11" paper, double spaced with at
least 1 inch margins with no smaller than 12 pt. type.
Title Page. Each copy of the paper must have a title page (separate
from the body of the paper) containing the title of the paper, the
names and addresses of all the authors. The affiliation appearing
under the author's name should be the name of the organization for
which the work was carried out. When this is no longer the author's
current affiliation, the latter is given in the address footnote on
the first page. The title page must specify one topic from the
scopes listed on the reverse side of this page.
Abstract. The abstract should be 150 to 200 words and should be
short and direct. It should be informative enough to serve as a
substitute for reading the paper itself. Work planned but not done
should not be described in the abstract. Do not display formulas and
do not use citation reference numbers.
Review Criteria. Each paper will be reviewed by experts in the area
specified from the scope as the topic of the paper. Acceptance will
be based on overall merit and significance of the reported research,
as well as the quality of the presentation.
