================================================= INTERNATIONAL LISP CONFERENCE 2002 (ILC 2002) SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA Monday, October 28th - Thursday, October 31st (Conference Announcement) ================================================= Registration deadline: September 31st, 2002 Paper Submission deadline: August 15th, 2002 http://www.international-lisp-conference.org/ ================================================= The Conference -------------- At the start of the 21st century we see the challenges ahead: Applications will be more dynamic than ever and will be part of the fibers of the Web, software and hardware robots will be our assistants, and biology will be source of both computational problems and programming metaphors. Applications will be customized to individuals who happen upon them, our needs and desires will be served by artificial beings, and our software may more accurately resemble a termite nest than Rube Goldberg inventions. Will our mainstream concepts, approaches, and languages hold up? Where might we turn for progress, inspiration, and technology? Was it right in front of us all along? The International Lisp Conference addresses these questions and more. This four-day conference will bring together a mesh of brilliant minds from a diverse international community that involves or borders the Lisp family of languages. The conference will be uniquely multi-themed in nature, and each day will paint a different theme. The themes are Lisp and Functional Languages, Web Applications, Robotics and BioInformatics. We have already gathered an impressive list of distinguished speakers from each of these communities that promise to deliver a captivating a stimulating conference experience.
