CALL FOR PAPERS
HIGH PERFORMANCE
AND
PARALLEL COMPUTING
IN LISP
Two days in mid-Nov 1990, U.K.
Sponsored by the British Computer Society Parallel Processing Specialist Group.
Production quality Lisp systems are fast approaching the performance levels of
applications developed in the more mainstream languages. Implementations of
Lisp span the spectrum of available hardware platforms - from p.c.'s to worksta-
tions & dedicated Lisp machines through to multi-processor, parallel computers.
This conference aims to bring together
researchers working on developments in compiler technology,
hardware design, systems and algorithms
users of high performance Lisp systems in research & industry
engaged with problems in natural language understanding,
robotics, reasoning, planning etc. in fields such as - but
not limited to - defence, telecommunications, finance etc.
vendors of high performance lisp systems and applications.
The programme will have an international flavour and will consist of keynote and
invited speakers, contributed papers, tutorials and panel sessions.
