APL99: On Track to the 21st Century

August 10-14, 1999 – Scranton, Pennsylvania

Call for Participation

Papers

Papers are invited on a full range of topics concerning array processing languages (APL, J, K etc.). Papers which emphasize productivity and entrepreneurship are particularly desired. Since this will be the last APL conference before the start of year 2000, when many millennium bugs will manifest, papers which reflect solutions to year 2000 problems are encouraged. Paper topics can include but are not limited to:

  • Novel uses of APL in the Business Environment
  • APL Legacy Applications
  • Can APL be used successfully with Web applications?
  • APL readiness for Year 2000
  • Distributed APL over a Network
  • Remote Procedures and Workspace Concerns
  • Mathematical Algorithms
  • APL and J in Education

Abstracts for planning purposes are requested by September 1, 1998. Preliminary abstracts are welcome now. Final drafts are due by January 15, 1999. Papers will be impartially reviewed and selected by a distinguished panel of referees. Pending further arrangements, abstracts may be sent to NY/SIGAPL at P.O. Box 2697;New York, NY; USA; 10163-2697, or to David E. Siegel at [e-mail address omitted]. The final submission address may well change.
