Royal Sonesta Hotel Cambridge, MA August 14-17, 1995 This year we have an exciting program of innovative reports on the application of Dynamic Object Oriented Languages and techniques to solve practical problems and advance the state of the art in information communication and computation. Several papers clearly demonstrate simple, effective and elegant solutions to practical problems. Join us Tuesday August 15th in Session 1 as we discover: 1.1. A simple and elegant strategy used to and existing CLIM application broadly accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW). 1.2. How CL abstractions are applied to the theoretical analysis and design of information retrieval systems. 1.3. A creative an effective approach using Scheme and Objects to rapidly build a parallel achitecture simulator. 1.4. A self generating publication written in "noweb" to demonstrate both the effectiveness of Literate programming and an example implementation of Engines in Lisp. 1.5. STRUCTURELAB - how the flexibility of CL is applied to seamlessly integrate multiple heterogenous systems into one environment for the analysis of RNA structures (this system can also be viewed on the WWW). Join us Wednesday August 16th and Thursday August 17th in Session 2 as we discover: 2.1. An application of CLOS to support reusability and experimentation in programmin with capabilities. 2.2. An application of the MetaObject Protocol to integrate Persistent Metadata in your CLOS environment. 2.3. An approach to dynamic object distribution using remote delegation. 2.4. A small embedded language called "L" (subset of CL) used to breath life into small autonomous robots responding in real-time to sensory inputs. 2.5. An approach using CLOS object structuring techniques for seamless information retrieval and intelligent data analysis in the GeneIS system. 2.6. A Graphical User Interface Builder using CLIM to generate gadget-oriented graphical interfaces. See detailed paper presentation program below. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Announcing the Annual Association of Lisp Users Meeting and Workshop, the Fifth International Lisp Users And Vendors Conference (LUV'95) Royal Sonesta Hotel 5 Cambridge Parkway Cambridge, MA 02142-1299 August 14-17, 1995 Program Highlights include: Keynote speeches by Howard E.
