ILC 2014 - International Lisp Conference
"Lisp on the Move"
August 14-17 2014, Université de Montréal, Montréal, Canada
Sponsored by the Association of Lisp Users
http://www.international-lisp-conference.org
Scope:
Lisp is one of the greatest ideas from computer science and a major
influence for almost all programming languages and for all
sufficiently complex software applications.
The International Lisp Conference is a forum for the discussion of
Lisp and, in particular, the design, implementation and application of
any of the Lisp dialects. We encourage everyone interested in Lisp to
participate.
We invite high quality submissions in all areas involving Lisp
dialects and any other languages in the Lisp family, including, but
not limited to, ACL2, AutoLisp, Clojure, Common Lisp, ECMAScript,
Dylan, Emacs Lisp, ISLISP, Racket, Scheme, SKILL, HOP etc.
This year's focus will be directed towards integrated solutions,
including mobile computing. We especially invite submissions in the
following areas:
* Pervasive computing
* Interoperability
* Portability
* Implementation challenges/tradeoffs for embedded/mobile platforms
* Language support for mobile toolkits and frameworks
* Language support for distribution
* Language support for reliability, availability, and serviceability
* Mobile IDEs
* Mobile applications
Contributions are also welcome in other areas, including but not
limited to:
* Language design and implementation
* Language integration, inter-operation and deployment
* Applications (especially commercial)
* Reflection, meta-object protocols, meta-programming
* Domain-specific languages
* Programming paradigms and environments
* Efficient parallel and concurrent computation
* Language support for managing both manual and automatic GC
* Theorem proving
* Scientific computing
* Data mining
* Semantic web
Technical Programme:
Original submissions in all areas related to the conference themes are
invited for the following categories:
Papers: Technical papers of up to 10 pages that describe original
results.
Demonstrations: Abstracts of up to 2 pages for demonstrations of
tools, libraries and applications.
Workshops: Abstracts of up to 2 pages for groups of people who intend
to work on a focused topic for half a day.
Tutorials: Abstracts of up to 2 pages for in-depth presentations about
topics of special interest for 1 to 2 hours.
Panel discussions: Abstracts of up to 2 pages for discussions about
current themes. Panel discussion proposals must mention panel member
who are willing to partake in a discussion.
The conference will also provide slots for lightning talks, to be
registered on-site every day.
For inquiries about any other kind of participation (commercial
exhibits, advertising, prizes, book signing etc.), please see the

Connected Filters Applied to Document Image Analysis
Mathematical morphology, when used in the field of document image
analysis and processing, is often limited to some classical yet
basic tools. The domain however features a lesser-known class of
powerful operators, called connected filters. These operators
present an important property: they do not shift nor create
contours. Most connected filters are linked to a tree-based
representation of an image's contents, where nodes represent
connected components while edges express an inclusion relation.
By computing attributes for each node of the tree from the
corresponding connected component, then selecting nodes according
to an attribute-based criterion, one can either filter or
recognize objects in an image. This strategy is very intuitive,
efficient, easy to implement, and actually well-suited to
processing images of magazines. Examples of applications include
image simplification, smart binarization, and object
identification.
