[Clg-devel] [ELS 2012] Call for Participation

Apologies for the multiple postings.
====================================

European Lisp Symposium 2012, Zadar, Croatia, April 29th - May 1st, 2012

Call for Participation.

http://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, and so on. We
encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate.


The main theme of the 2012 European Lisp Conference is
"Interoperability: Systems, Libraries, Workflows".  Lisp based and
functional-languages based systems have grown a variety of solutions
to become more and more integrated with the wider world of Information
and Communication Technologies in current use.  There are several
dimensions to the scope of the solutions proposed, ranging from
"embedding" of interpreters in C-based systems, to the development of
abstractions levels that facilitate the expression of complex context
dependent tasks, to the construction of exchange formats handling
libraries, to the construction of theorem-provers for the "Semantic
Web".  The European Lisp Symposium 2012 solicits the submission of
papers with this specific theme in mind, alongside the more
traditional tracks which have appeared in the past editions.

Venue:

Zadar is one of the enchanting cities on the Adriatic coast rich in
history. It still preserves a very old network of narrow and charming
city streets, as well as a Roman forum dating back to the first
century AD. In addition, Zadar region encompasses many natural
beauties, most prominent among them is the Kornati National Park, the
most unusual and indented set of small islands in the Mediterranean
(89 islands, islets and reefs) located only 15 nautical miles south of
Zadar – a visit to Kornati is planned as a part of the conference.
