Overview
========
"...Please don't assume Lisp is only useful for Animation and
Graphics, AI, Bio-informatics, 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, one of the eldest computer languages still in use today, is
gaining momentum again. The structure of Lisp makes it easy to extend
the language or even to implement entirely new dialects without
starting from scratch, making it the ideal candidate for writing
Domain Specific Languages. Common Lisp, with the Common Lisp Object
System (CLOS), was the first object-oriented programming language to
receive an ANSI standard and remains the most complete and advanced
object system of any programming language, while influencing many
other object-oriented programming languages that followed.
This workshop will address the near-future role of Lisp-based
languages in research, industry and education. We solicit
contributions 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 formal talks, and
interactive turorial/demo/coding sessions.
Papers
======
Formal presentations in the workshop should take between 20 minutes
and half an hour; additional time will be given for questions and
answers. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to):
- Context-, aspect-, domain-oriented and generative programming
- Macro-, reflective-, meta- and/or rule-based development approaches
- Protocol meta-programming and libraries
- New language features and abstractions
- Software evolution
- Development aids
- Persistent systems
- Dynamic optimization
- Implementation techniques
- Hardware Support
- Efficiency, distribution and parallel programming
- Educational approaches and perspectives
- Experience reports and case studies
Interactive Tutorial/Demo/Coding Sessions
=========================================
Additionally, we invite less formal talks in the form of interactive
tutorial/demo/coding sessions. The purpose of these sessions is both
to demonstrate and receive feedback on any interesting Lisp system,
either stable or under development. Being less formal than technical
paper presentations, these sessions are expected to be highly
interactive.
Submission Guidelines
=====================
Potential contributors are encouraged to submit:
- a long paper (around 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 an interactive tutorial/demo/coding session (1-2
pages) describing the involved library or application, and the
subject of the session.
Papers (both long and short) should be formatted following the ACM SIGS
guidelines and include ACM classification categories and terms (see below).
Authors will later be required to sign an ACM copyright form, as the workshop
proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
For more information on the submission guidelines and the ACM keywords, see:

Bonjour,
La prochaine session du séminaire Performance et Généricité du LRDE
(Laboratoire de Recherche et Développement de l'EPITA) aura lieu le
mercredi 31 mars 2010 (14h-16h)en Amphi 4 au Kremlin-Bicêtre.
Au programme:

Généricité en traitement d'images: niveau algorithmique et logiciel.
-- Jean-Baptiste Fasquel
http://www.istia.univ-angers.fr/LISA/PERSO/persoen.php4?nom=FASQUEL
Ce séminaire porte sur certains de mes travaux en matière de
généricité et réutilisation en traitement d'images. Ces travaux
sont présentés à une échelle algorithmique, bas-niveau, et à une
échelle logicielle, plutôt haut-niveau. À l'échelle de
l'algorithme, nous présentons une technique permettant d'étendre la
généricité des algorithmes de traitement d'images par rapport à la
région d'intérêt traitée, en complément de la généricité par
rapport aux données (1D, 2D, 3D, scalaires, couleurs,
multi-spectrales, séquences, etc.) Cette méthode repose sur une
adaptation du patron de conception « Iterator » et sur le
polymorphisme de compilation en C++. Au niveau logiciel, l'objectif
de la généricité et de réutilisation est de faciliter le couplage
des algorithmes « purs » avec des fonctionnalités supplémentaires
telles que la visualisation, l'interface homme-machine, les
entrées-sorties... Dans ce cas, je présente les principes d'une
architecture flexible et évolutive implémentée en C++, combinant la
notion de (programmation par) rôle et la notion de (programmation
par) composants réutilisables. Ces travaux sont illustrés par des
applications dans le domaine médical.
-- Titulaire d'un diplôme d'ingénieur et d'un doctorat de
l'université de Strasbourg, Jean-Baptiste Fasquel a été, de 2002 à
Septembre 2009, chargé de recherche au sein de l'équipe
informatique de l'IRCAD (Institut de Recherche contre les Cancers
de l'Appareil Digestif, Strasbourg). Depuis Septembre 2009, il est
enseignant-chercheur à l'université d'Angers, rattaché au
Laboratoire d'Ingénierie des Systèmes Automatisés (LISA). Sa
thématique de recherche concerne le traitement des images, et
couvre aussi bien l'aspect méthode que l'aspect implémentation. Son
domaine d'application principal est l'aide au diagnostic médical.

Généricité et héritage en Eiffel.
-- Bertrand Meyer
http://se.ethz.ch/~meyer/
L'une des caractéristiques de la programmation objet est
l'intégration (introduite par Eiffel dans un article de la première
conférence OOPSLA en 1986) entre les mécanismes d'héritage,
permettant de structurer clairement la description des systèmes, et
de généricité, permettant le paramétrage de ces descriptions. La
combinaison de ces deux techniques d'architecture est la clé de
l'extensibilité et de la réutilisabilité permises par la
technologie objets. L'exposé montrera l'interaction entre la
généricité et l'héritage en Eiffel et l'application de ces concepts
aux tâches d'analyse, de conception et d'implémentation en génie
logiciel. De nombreux exemples illustreront l'application de ces
idées, et compareront avec les solutions adoptées dans des langages
tels que Java et C#.
-- Bertrand Meyer est professeur de génie logiciel à l'École
Polytechnique Fédérale de Zurich (ETH) et Chief Architect d'Eiffel
Software (Santa Barbara). Il est l'auteur de nombreux livres de
génie logiciel et de programmation par objets, en particulier
"Object-Oriented Software Construction") (version française chez
Eyrolles, "Conception et Programmation par Objets"), Jolt Award
1998 ; "Eiffel: Le Langage", "Introduction à la Théorie des
Langages de Programmation" (traductions françaises chez
InterEditions) ; et, récemment, "Touch of Class: Introduction to
Programming Well Using Objects and Contracts", un livre
d'initiation à la programmation (Springer). Il a reçu le System
Award de l'ACM pour son travail sur Eiffel et est membre de
l'Académie des Technologies.

Hello,
I'm happy to announce that I will be presenting a paper at ELS 2010, the
next European Lisp Symposium, in Lisbon. The abstract is given below:
CloX: Common Lisp Objects for XEmacs
CloX is an ongoing attempt to provide a full Emacs Lisp implementation
of the Common Lisp Object System, including its underlying meta-object
protocol, for XEmacs. This paper describes the early development stages
of this project. CloX currently consists in a port of Closette to Emacs
Lisp, with some additional features, most notably, a deeper integration
between types and classes and a comprehensive test suite. All these
aspects are described in the paper, and we also provide a feature
comparison with an alternative project called EIEIO.

Hello,
I'm happy to announce that I will be presenting a paper at TUG 2010, in
San Francisco, for the 2^5th birthday of TeX. The abstract is given
below:
Classes, Styles, Conflicts: the Biological Realm of LaTeX
Every LaTeX user faces the "compatibility nightmare" one day or another.
With so much intercession capabilities at hand (LaTeX code being able to
redefine itself at will), a time comes inevitably when the compilation
of a document fails, due to a class/style conflict. In an ideal world,
class/style conflicts should only be a concern for package maintainers,
not end-users of LaTeX. Unfortunately, the world is real, not ideal, and
end-user document compilation does break.
As both a class/style maintainer and a document author, I tried several
times to come up with some general principles or a systematic approach
to handling class/style cross-compatibility in a smooth and gentle
manner, but I ultimately failed. Instead, one Monday morning, I woke up
with this vision of the LaTeX biotope, an emergent phenomenon whose
global behavior cannot be comprehended, because it is in fact the result
of a myriad of "macro"-interactions between small entities, themselves
in perpetual evolution.
In this presentation, I would like to draw bridges between LaTeX and
biology, by viewing documents, classes and styles as living beings
constantly mutating their geneTeX code in order to survive \renewcommand
attacks...
