The MSLUG October meeting will take place during the OOPSLA 2007
conference. For this special event, the MSLUG invited two well-known
speakers: Manuel Serrano and Pascal Costanza. Don't miss this
exceptional event!

Where: UQAM, 10 Sherbrooke West, Room SU-1550
When: October 22nd, 2007 at 7h30PM

Speakers:

----------
Manuel Serrano

Manuel Serrano holds a Ph.D. degree from the Universit? Pierre et
Marie Curie (Paris 6), France, and works at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis as
a research director. Most of his research activities are based, or
use, the functional programming language Scheme. He is well-known for
his highly-optimizing Scheme compiler, Bigloo. Manuel Serrano served
on several international conferences: ICFP, JFLA, Scheme workshops,
and more.

Title: Programming Multimedia Applications on the Web with HOP

Hop is a language dedicated to programming reactive and dynamic
applications for the web, such as web agendas, web galleries, web mail
clients, etc. In this presentation, we highlight the linguistic
novelties introduced by Hop and its execution environment by
describing Hop's user libraries, its extensions to the HTML-based
standards, and its execution platform, the Hop web broker. The
presentation will focus on presenting the development on multimedia
applications with Hop. There will be several live demonstrations
during the presentation.

----------
Pascal Costanza, Vrije Universiteit Brussel.

Pascal Costanza has a Ph.D. degree from the University of Bonn,
Germany, and works as a research assistant at the Programming
Technology Lab of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium. His past
involvements include specification and implementation of the languages
Gilgul and Lava, and the design and application of the JMangler
framework for load-time transformation of Java class files. He has
also implemented ContextL, the first programming language extension
for Context-oriented Programming based on CLOS, and aspect-oriented
extensions for CLOS. He has also co-organized numerous workshops on
Unanticipated Software Evolution, Aspect-Oriented Programming, Object
Technology for Ambient Intelligence, Lisp, and redefinition of
computing.

TITLE: Context-oriented Programming in ContextL

There is an increased need for context-aware applications that can
dynamically adjust their behavior to the context of their use. Two
years ago, we have introduced ContextL, our first programming language
extension that explicitly supports Context-oriented Programming (COP),
based on the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS). In COP, programs
consist of partial class and method definitions that can be selected
and combined at runtime as needed. Employing runtime adaptations to
class and method definitions, COP does not only allow expressing
context-aware behavior, but encourages continually adjusting behavior
of programs according to their context.

In my presentation, I will show and discuss the following.
* The basic language constructs of ContextL.
* The development of non-trivial examples.
* The current state of the art in COP: language extensions, example
applications and support for the various stages in software
development.
* Future work: promising next steps that several researchers in our
own groups and elsewhere are currently undertaking.

Message-ID: <BAY101-F28A925136CC1C4843683BFCBA40@phx.gbl>

[From the ACM press release]

"The brightest minds in computer science will be at ooPSLA 2007, convening 
in chic, sophisticated, metropolitan Montreal, Quebec. Peter Turchi, author 
of "Maps of the Imagination," will use examples from writing and cartography 
to explore the challenges of discovery, the challenges of presenting those 
discoveries, and how the presentation itself is often the key to discovery 
(think Impressionism). Jim Purbrick and Mark Lentczner, also known as 
Babbage Linden and Zero Linden, will step away from reality into the virtual 
world of Second Life. Two Turing Award winners, Fred Brooks and John 
McCarthy, will be giving talks. Brooks will talk about collaboration and 
telecollaboration in design.

McCarthy will be presenting Elephant 2000, a proposed programming language 
good for writing and verifying programs that interact with people (e.g., 
transaction processing) or interact with programs belonging to other 
organizations. Gregor Kiczales will deliver a talk on how different contexts 
affect developer perspectives on software. David Parnas examines the problem 
of documenting the behavior of systems and their components, and how precise 
documents can make validation and verification easier. Patti Maes, honored 
with the title "Global Leader for Tomorrow" by the World Economic Forum, 
will be speaking from her background in media arts and sciences. Also 
planned is a special reprise of Gabriel and Steele's keynote "50 in 50" from 
HOPL III. OOPSLA 2007 runs October 21 through 25"

But, I would highlight this:

Fred Brooks, Turing Award winner, Mythical Man Month, No Silver Bullet. He 
doesn't agree often to speak.

John McCarthy, Turing Award winner, Lisp, AI. He doesn't speak often, and 
he's getting old.

David Parnas, very early guy in software engineering, modularity, 
information hiding.
Ornery. Doesn't speak much.

Jim Purbrick & Mark Lentczner, these are the Second Life guys.

Gregor Kiczales, Aspects, metaobjects, CLOS. Very good speaker. One of our 
most important thinkers.

Pattie Maes, reflection, ambient intelligence.

Guy Steele, Scheme, Fortress.

Brian Foote, Big Ball of Mud, one of the most entertaining speakers in 
computer science.

Richard Gabriel, Worse is Better

special surprise keynote:

Kathy Sierra, of creating passionate users fame.

Most conferences would consider themselves lucky to see any one of these 
people at  their conference (except for me, of course). To have all of them 
is extraordinary. This is probably the best lineup of speakers at any CS 
conference in history.

Greetings Mslugers, 
  many famous lispers are about to visit our wonderful city and all of
the sudden I realize through private conversations with some of them
that they have no idea of what is worthy of their limited time with
us.  Let's be honest, "What should I do/see/taste/drink/smoke while in
Montr?al?" is a hard question.  There is a lot to things to enjoy but
life time is a scarce resource.

I've setup a wiki and I promised a decent guide by the end of the day
but the sun is already setting so I think I could use some help.  So
here it is:

  http://gazdemo.ygingras.net/wiki/Montreal

Imagine that you'd have to leave Montr?al forever in two days.  What
would you miss the most?  What would you do during those last two
days?  Is at already mentioned on the wiki?  If not, please add it.

What a strange coincidence that I needed to beta test a new wiki
engine at the moment...

Thanks for you help!

Thank you Dominique for organizing that wonderful MSLUG meeting last  
monday.

I posted a short review at http://categoricaldesign.com/cds/blog/

When the video is on the net it would be good to announce it here. I  
know a couple of persons that would like to see the presentations but  
could not make it on monday.

Unfortunately, because of a technical problem, only the first lecture will be available (Manuel Serrano, HOP) in a couple of days.  I didn't have the chance to record the second lecture (Pascal Constanza, ContextL).  That's a shame! :(

I only did the easy part. And without all of you attending, it would not 
have been that wonderful. So let me thank you all for coming Monday. And 
especially Fran?ois for providing the conference room, and Daniel Caune for 
videotaping (part of ) the event!

>I posted a short review at http://categoricaldesign.com/cds/blog/

A very excellent one, indeed! I will post one myself in the next couple of 
days.

>could not make it on monday.

Daniel already answered this part.

Hey, everyone. I'm one of the coordinators of a grass-roots
"unconference" for local Montreal technology people. It's called
BarCamp, which is probably best explained on the Wikipedia article of
the same name:

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp

BarCampMontreal3 is coming up on 3 November, next Saturday. It's open to
anyone to attend, and free of charge. It'll be at the great Soci?t? des
arts technologiques (SAT) space on St. Laurent. More details here:

        http://barcampmontreal.org/wiki/BarCampMontreal3

I would _love_ to see some presentations or lightning talks about the
blossoming Scheme scene here in Montreal: different functional language
projects, Snow, and other things going on around town.

We ask that everyone register (= put your name on a list) so that we
know how many people will be there, how much coffee and food to get,
etc. The registration page is here:

        http://barcampmontreal.org/wiki/BarCampMontreal3_registrants

I hope that some of you can find the time to attend and spread the word
about Scheme in Montreal.

-Evan
