SPLASH

This document explains the motivation and fundamental ideas behind the SchemeSpheres1 project. It outlines the conceptual approach taken by this framework, given a set of requirements that are considered essential. The different sides of the key aspects ...

In this two-hour tutorial we will introduce the Gendl® project (source available at http://github.com/genworks/gendl), and we will cover the following topics:

1. Installation either through Quicklisp or though a pre-built install package

2. Basic Gendl® ...

PaGe is a portable, compact and reliable LALR(1) parser generator with more general disambiguation method compared to that of traditional parser generator such as Bison.

From the past to the present, very many parser generators are implemented in ...

Kilns is a programming language based on the kell calculus. The kell calculus can roughly be seen as an extension of the πCalculus that adds a notion of "locality" (the kell), which provides semi-permeable boundaries that make it possible to restrict ...

Common Lisp is a towering language that supports a plethora of functionality useful for both scientific and mathematical programming. However---except for a few notable systems such as Axiom, Macsyma/Maxima, and ACL2---Lisp has not taken center stage ...

In spite of its soundness, ease of use, and descriptive power, few hygienic macro systems have been incorporated to non-LISP programming languages. The difficulty lies in the self-describing nature of the macro system. Proposed is the design and a ...

We present ALPS, a personal interactive computational environment that combines the primitives and arrays of APL\360 with the syntax and semantics of early LISP. Selected features from APL\2, Scheme, Common Lisp and other extensions were incorporated ...

Racket is a descendant of Scheme, a language that has been widely used to teach computer science. Recently, the Python language has taken over this role, mainly due to its huge standard library and the great number of third-party libraries available. ...

Many aspects of modern medicine, including the administration of anesthetic agents during general surgery, remain unautomated and reliant on the vigilance of the attending clinicians. In other fields where failures can have catastrophic consequences, ...

Profiler Plus is a general-purpose "natural language" analysis application implemented in Common Lisp. We discuss its capabilities in the context of two points of view which are brought together here for the first time: that of Social Science Automation ...

The study of permutations is of central importance to mathematics. Computation with permutation groups has typically been limited to systems such as GAP and Magma. In this paper we describe cl-permutation, a system for doing computations with ...

An interpreter is a concise definition of the semantics of a programming language and is easily implemented. A compiler is more difficult to construct, but the code that it generates runs faster than interpreted code. This paper introduces rules to ...

We describe a technique for generic dispatch that is adapted to modern computers where accessing memory is potentially quite expensive. Instead of the traditional hashing scheme used by PCL [6], we assign a unique number to each class, and the dispatch ...

Garbage collection algorithms are divided into three main categories, namely mark-and-sweep, mark-and-compact, and copying collectors. The collectors in the mark-and-compact category are frequently overlooked, perhaps because they have traditionally ...

The fact that CLOS is defined as a CLOS program introduces two categories of issues that must be addressed, namely bootstrapping issues and metastability issues [2]. Of the two, the latter is the more difficult one, and also the one that has the most ...
