Introduction

The APL 2002 Conference will be held July 22-25, 2002 in Madrid, Spain. This is the annual international conference on APL and other array programming languages (A+, J, K, Matlab, Mathematica, Nial, S-Plus, etc.). The conference will be held in cooperation with ACM (SIGAPL) and the British APL Association.

Topics of Interest

The subject matter of the APL 2002 Conference is three-fold:

  • Lore: The history of Array Programming Languages, including historical considerations on any of the following or other questions: design, implementations, applications, difficulties, standards wars, divergence, vendors, etc.
  • Problems: Current use of Array Programming Languages in research and innovation, stressing the advantages provided by the use of the language in building a prototype or the final system. Straightforward descriptions of advanced research questions, or proposals for extensions for current or new Array Programming Languages are also encouraged.
  • Applications: Actual use of Array Programming Languages for real-life applications, with successful case studies and comparisons with other languages. The application in question need not be at the front end of research in its field.

The APL 2002 Conference will also hold a number of Tutorials, hands-on Workshops and Panel discussions.
