Derived-Term Automata of Multitape Expressions with Composition
Akim Demaille
EPITA/LRDE
Rational expressions are powerful tools to define automata, but often
restricted to single-tape automata. Our goal is to unleash their
expressive power for transducers, and more generally, any multitape
automaton; for instance (a⁺|x + b⁺|y)*. We generalize the
construction of the derived-term automaton by using expansions. This
approach generates small automata, and even allows us to support a
composition operator.

ELS'18 - 11th European Lisp Symposium
Centro Cultural Cortijo de Miraflores
Marbella, Málaga
Spain
April 16-17 2018
Sponsored by EPITA
http://www.european-lisp-symposium.org/
The purpose of the European Lisp Symposium is to provide a forum for
the discussion and dissemination of all aspects of design,
implementation and application of any of the Lisp and Lisp-inspired
dialects, including Common Lisp, Scheme, Emacs Lisp, AutoLisp, ISLISP,
Dylan, Clojure, ACL2, ECMAScript, Racket, SKILL, Hop and so on. We
encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate.
The 11th European Lisp Symposium invites high quality papers about
novel research results, insights and lessons learned from practical
applications and educational perspectives. We also encourage
submissions about known ideas as long as they are presented in a new
setting and/or in a highly elegant way.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Context-, aspect-, domain-oriented and generative programming
- Macro-, reflective-, meta- and/or rule-based development approaches
- Language design and implementation
- Language integration, inter-operation and deployment
- Development methodologies, support and environments
- Educational approaches and perspectives
- Experience reports and case studies
We invite submissions in the following forms:
Papers: Technical papers of up to 8 pages that describe original
results or explain known ideas in new and elegant ways.
Demonstrations: Abstracts of up to 2 pages for demonstrations of
tools, libraries, and applications.
Tutorials: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for in-depth presentations
about topics of special interest for at least 90 minutes and up to
180 minutes.
The symposium will also provide slots for lightning talks, to be
registered on-site every day.
All submissions should be formatted following the ACM SIGS guidelines
and include ACM Computing Classification System 2012 concepts and
terms. Submissions should be uploaded to Easy Chair, at the following
address: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=els2018
Note: to help us with the review process please indicate the type of
submission by entering either "paper", "demo", or "tutorial" in the
Keywords field.
Important dates:
- 18 Feb 2018 Submission deadline
- 19 Mar 2018 Notification of acceptance
- 25 Mar 2018 Early registration deadline
- 02 Apr 2018 Final papers due

Hello,
I'm happy to announce the deployment of Quickref[1], a new global
documentation project for Common Lisp.
Quickref provides automatically generated reference manuals for the
whole Quicklisp world, that is, more than 1500 libraries and 3000 ASDF
systems. The documentation is generated by Declt[2] in HTML. Declt
documents every possible bit of information (systems, files, packages,
variables, functions, classes etc.) with full indexing and
cross-referencing.
Quickref was made by Antoine Martin, as part of an internship with
me. Many thanks to him! We still have some cleanup and packaging to do,
but we expect to open-source the infrastructure soon. I also want to
thank Mark Evenson, Erik Huelsmann and the Common Lisp Foundation for
hosting the project on common-lisp.net.
