  This year's program consists of tutorials at beginners' and
  advanced levels, prominent invited speakers from the Lisp
  communities, an excellent technical session, tours of
  Jidai-Matsuri: festival enjoyed by people of all ages,
  participating in its historical reenactment parade dressed in
  authentic costumes representing various periods, and characters

  ilc12-announce. http://www.alu.org/mailman/listinfo/ilc12-announce

Technical Program:

  Original submissions in all areas related to the conference themes
  are invited for the following categories:

  Papers: Technical papers of up to 15 pages that describe original
  results.

  Demonstrations: Abstracts of up to 2 pages for demonstrations of
  tools, libraries and applications.

  Workshops: Abstracts of up to 2 pages for groups of people who
  intend to work on a focussed topic for half a day.

  Tutorials: Abstracts of up to 2 pages for indepth presentations

Scope:

 Lisp is one of the greatest ideas from computer science and a
 major influence for almost all programming languages and for all
 sufficiently complex software applications.

 The International Lisp Conference is a forum for the discussion of
 Lisp and, in particular, the design, implementation and
 application of any of the Lisp dialects.  We encourage everyone
 interested in Lisp to participate.

 We invite high quality submissions in all areas involving Lisp
 dialects and any other languages in the Lisp family, including,
 but not limited to, ACL2, AutoLisp, Clojure, Common Lisp,
 ECMAScript, Dylan, Emacs Lisp, ISLISP, Racket, Scheme, SKILL, etc.

 Topics may include any and all combinations of Lisp and:

   * Language design and implementation
   * Language integration, inter-operation and deployment
   * Applications (especially commercial)
   * Reflection, meta-object protocols, meta-programming
   * Domain-specific languages
   * Programming paradigms and environments
   * Parallel and distributed computing
   * Theorem proving
   * Scientific computing
   * Data mining
   * Semantic web
