SUMMARY:Lots of Languages\, Tons of Types
DESCRIPTION:Since 1995 my research team (PLT) and I have been working on a
  language for creating programming languages — small and large. Our code
  base includes a range of languages\, and others contribute additional la
 nguages on a regular basis. PLT programmers don't hesitate to pick our la
 zy dialect to implement one module and to link it to a strict language fo
 r another module in the same system. Later they may even migrate one of t
 he modules to the typed variant during some maintenance task.\n\nAn expre
 ssive macro system is one key to this riches of languages. Starting with 
 the 1986 introduction of hygienic macros\, the SCHEME world has worked on
  turning macros into tools for creating proper abstractions. The first pa
 rt of my talk will briefly describe this world of modern macros and its k
 ey attributes: hygiene\, referential transparency\, modularity of macros\
 , phase separation\, and macro specification.\n\nThe second part of my ta
 lk will focus on how to equip LISP-like languages with a sound type syste
 ms and that will illustrate the second key idea\, namely\, monitoring the
  interactions between different languages. Our approach to type systems a
 llows programmers to stick to their favorite LISP idioms. It mostly suffi
 ces to annotate functions and structures with type declarations during ma
 intenance work. To ensure the soundness of this information even when hig
 her-order values flow back and forth between typed and untyped modules\, 
 module boundaries are automatically equipped with software contracts that
  enforce type-invariants at all levels.

SUMMARY:Parallel Programming in Common Lisp
DESCRIPTION:Parallel programming is the wave of the future: It becomes har
 der and harder to increase the speed of single-core processors\, therefor
 e chip vendors have turned to multi-core processors to provide more compu
 ting power. However\, parallel programming is in principle very hard sinc
 e it introduces the potential for a combinatorial explosion of the progra
 m state space. Therefore\, we need different programming models to reduce
  the complexity induced by concurrency.\n\nCommon Lisp implementations ha
 ve started to provide low-level symmetric multi-processing (SMP) faciliti
 es for current multi-core processors. In this tutorial\, we will learn ab
 out important parallel programming concepts\, what impact concurrency has
  on our intuitions about program efficiency\, what low-level features are
  provided by current Common Lisp implementations\, how they can be used t
 o build high-level concepts\, and what concepts Lispers should watch out 
 for in the near future. The tutorial will cover basic concepts such as ta
 sk parallelism\, data parallelism and pipeline models\; synchronization p
 rimitives ranging from compare-and-swap\, over locks and software transac
 tional memory\, to mailboxes and barriers\; integration with Lisp-specifi
 c concepts\, such as special variables\; and last but not least some rule
 s of thumb for writing parallel programs.

SUMMARY:Reading the News with Common Lisp
DESCRIPTION:The financial industry thrives on data: oceans of historical a
 rchives and rivers of low-latency\, real-time feeds. If you can know more
 \, know sooner\,or know differently\, then there is the opportunity to ex
 ploit this knowledge and make money. Today's automated trading systems co
 nsume this data and make unassisted decisions to do just that. But even t
 hough almost every trader will tell you that news is an important input i
 nto their trading decisions\, most automated systems today are completely
  unaware of the news — some data is missing. What technology is being us
 ed to change all this and make news available as analytic data to meet th
 e aggressive demands of the financial industry?\n\nFor around seven years
  now\, RavenPack has been using Common Lisp as the core technology to sol
 ve problems and create opportunities for the financial industry. We have 
 a revenue-generating business model where we sell News Analytics — factu
 al and sentiment data extracted from unstructured\, textual news. In this
  talk\, I'll describe the RavenPack software architecture with special fo
 cus on how Lisp plays a critical role in our technology platform\, and ho
 pefully in our success. I hope to touch upon why we at RavenPack love Lis
 p\, some challenges we face when using Lisp\, and perhaps even some princ
 iples of successful software engineering.

SUMMARY:Going Meta: Reflections on Lisp\, Past and Future
DESCRIPTION:Over a period of several decades\, I have had the good fortune
  to witness and influence the design\, evolution\, standardization and us
 e of quite a number of dialects of Lisp\, including MACLISP\, T\, Scheme\
 , Zetalisp\, Common Lisp\, and ISLISP. I will offer reflections\, from a 
 personal point of view\, about what enduring lessons I have learned throu
 gh this long involvement.\n\nBoth the programming world and the real worl
 d it serves have changed a lot in that time. Some issues that faced Lisp 
 in the past no longer matter\, while others matter more than ever. I'll a
 ssess the state of Lisp today\, what challenges it faces\, what pitfalls 
 it needs to avoid\, and what Lisp's role might and should be in the futur
 e of languages\, of programming\, and of humanity.
