3rd European Lisp Symposium
===========================



May 6-7, 2010, Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisbon, Portugal

Important Dates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ Submission Deadline: *February 5, 2010*
+ Author Notification: March 1, 2010
+ Final Paper Due: March 26, 2010
+ Symposium: *May 6-7, 2010*

We hope, as in previous years, to invite authors of accepted research
contributions to submit an extended version of their papers to a
special issue of the Journal of Universal Computer Science (J.UCS).

Scope
~~~~~~
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 dialects. We
encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate.

The European Lisp Symposium 2010 invites high quality papers about
novel research results, insights and lessons learned from practical
applications, and educational perspectives, all involving Lisp
dialects, including Common Lisp, Scheme, Emacs Lisp, AutoLisp,
ISLISP, Dylan, Clojure, and so on.

Topics include, but are not limited to:
+ Language design and implementation
+ Language integration, interoperation and deployment
+ Development methodologies, support and environments
+ Reflection, protocols and meta-level architectures
+ Lisp in Education
+ Parallel, distributed and scientific computing
+ Large and ultra-large-scale systems
+ Hardware, virtual machine and embedded applications
+ Domain-oriented programming
+ Lisp pearls
+ Experience reports and case studies

We invite submissions (through Easychair) in two categories: original
contributions and tutorials.

* Original contributions should neither have been published previously
nor be under review in any other refereed events or publication.
Research papers should describe work that advances the current state
of the art, or presents old results from a new perspective.
Experience papers should be of broad interest and should describe
insights gained from substantive practical applications. The
programme committee will evaluate each contributed paper -- which
should be formatted according to the J.UCS style and up to fifteen
pages in length -- based on its relevance, significance, clarity,
and originality.

* Tutorial submissions should be extended abstracts of up to four
pages for in-depth presentations about topics of special interest
for at least 90 minutes and up to 180 minutes. The programme
committee will evaluate tutorial proposals based on the likely
interest in the topic matter, the clarity of the presentation in
the extended abstract, and the scope for interactive
participation.

The tutorials will run during the symposium on May 6, 2010.
