---------------------------------------------------------------------- EUROPAL'90 EUROPAL'90 EUROPAL'90 EUROPAL'90 EUROPAL'90 EUROPAL'90 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The First European Conference On the Practical Applications of Lisp Call For Papers The First European Conference On the Practical Applications of Lisp (EUROPAL 90) will be held in March 1990 in Cambridge, England. The conference is aimed at the entire Lisp community and will provide a forum for technical exchange between industrialists, academics, Lisp vendors and users. The conference will be organised around a series of plenary and panel discussions arranged in 2 main themes. The first theme will focus on Tools and Techniques. Specific topics will include (but are not limited to): Lisp-based environments and toolkits; object oriented programming, including CLOS; high performance, parallel and concurrent Lisp; and future directions for the further extension of the Common Lisp standard. The second theme is to be centred on Lisp-based applications with case studies from manufacturing, finance, law, the defence industry, etc. Papers might also review applications techniques in simulation, graphics, knowledge-based systems and the integration of Lisp systems into mainstream data-processing. The case studies should, wherever possible, reflect applications that are now operational and in regular field use, making critical assessments against identifiable measures of success. We invite submissions on any area relating to the Lisp programming language. We also specifically invite authors to submit papers describing effective, operational systems where both development and delivery were undertaken with Lisp. Due to the relatively short timescale within which this conference is being planned, interested parties should notify their interest in submitting a paper by sending a brief abstract on their chosen topic to one of the following by absolutely no later than Friday 1st December 1989.
