<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR>Scope:<BR>~~~~~~</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Lisp is one of the greatest ideas from computer science and a
major<BR>influence for almost all programming languages and for
all<BR>sufficiently complex software applications.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The International Lisp Conference is a forum for the discussion of<BR>Lisp
and, in particular, the design, implementation and application of<BR>any of the
Lisp dialects. We encourage everyone interested in Lisp
to<BR>participate.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We invite high quality submissions in all areas involving Lisp<BR>dialects
and any other languages in the Lisp family, including, but<BR>not limited to,
ACL2, AutoLisp, Clojure, Common Lisp, ECMAScript,<BR>Dylan, Emacs Lisp, ISLISP,
Racket, Scheme, etc.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Topics may include any and all combinations of Lisp and:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> * Language design and implementation<BR> * Language
critique<BR> * Language integration, inter-operation and
deployment<BR> * Applications (especially commercial)<BR> * 'Pearls'
(of wisdom)<BR> * Experience reports and case studies<BR> *
Reflection, meta-object protocols, meta-programming<BR> * Domain-specific
languages<BR> * Programming paradigms and environments<BR> * Parallel
and distributed computing<BR> * Software evolution<BR> * Theorem
proving<BR> * Scientific computing<BR> * Data mining<BR> *
Semantic web</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We also encourage submissions about known ideas as long as they
are<BR>presented in a new setting and/or in a highly elegant way.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Authors concerned about the appropriateness of a topic may
communicate<BR>by electronic mail with the program chair prior to
submission.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library
(PENDING).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Papers must be written in English and submitted electronically at<BR><A href="http://www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=ilc2010">http://www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=ilc2010</A>
in PDF or WORD<BR>format. Final submissions must not exceed 15 pages and
need to use<BR>the ACM format, for which templates can be found at:<BR><A href="http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html">http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html</A>.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Each paper should explain its contributions in both general
and<BR>technical terms, identifying what has been accomplished,
explaining<BR>why it is significant, and comparing it with previous work.
Authors<BR>should strive to make their papers understandable to a broad
audience.<BR>Each paper will be judged according to its significance,
novelty,<BR>correctness, clarity, and elegance.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The official language of the conference is English. Some
further<BR>information is available at the conference web site, with more
details<BR>added later. See: <A href="http://www.international-lisp-conference.org">http://www.international-lisp-conference.org</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Technical Program:<BR>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Original submissions in all areas related to the conference themes
are<BR>invited for the following categories.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> * Papers: Technical papers of up to 15 pages that describe
original<BR> results or explain known ideas in new and elegant
ways.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> * Demonstrations: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for demonstrations
of<BR> tools, libraries, and applications.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> * Tutorials: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for in-depth
presentations<BR> about topics of special interest for at least 90
minutes and up to<BR> 180 minutes.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> * Workshops: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for groups of people
who<BR> intend to work on a focused topic for half a day.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> * Panel discussions: Abstracts of up to 4 pages for discussions
about<BR> current themes. Panel discussion proposals must mention
panel<BR> members who are willing to partake in a discussion.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> * Lightning talks: Abstracts of up to one page for talks to last
for<BR> no more than 5 minutes.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Depending on the technical content, each submitted paper will
be<BR>classified by the program committee as either a technical paper or
as<BR>an experience paper; and authors will be informed about
this<BR>classification. Note that all interesting submissions are
considered<BR>valuable contributions to the success of the ILC series
of<BR>conferences. As in past ILC's since 2007, accepted papers in
both<BR>categories will be presented at the conference, included in
the<BR>proceedings, and submitted to the ACM digital library.</DIV>
