This issue concludes a decade of Lisp and Symbolic Computation. We
take this opportunity to both reflect on the past and look ahead to
the future. We have dedicated this issue to collecting in one place
the titles, authors and abstracts of the papers published in this
first decade. There has been a mix of issues with special themes as
well as outstanding individual contributions. Some of the special
issue topics included: CLOS, Parallel LISP Systems, Parallel Symbolic
Applications, The Mayfly Parallel Processor, Persistence,
Continuations, Partial Evaluation, State in Programming Languages,
EuLISP, the VLISP project, and Computational Reflection. To reflect the evolution and broadened scope of the journal we are starting the new decade with a new name: As we described in our editorial in the July 1997 issue, our aims and scope has been revised and already appears in the journal front matter. Finally, we would also like to introduce our new associate editors. Olivier Danvy (Aarhus University, Denmark) [danvy@brics.dk] Dan Friedman (Indiana University) [dfried@cs.indiana.edu] Bob Harper (Carnegie Mellon University) [rwh@cs.cmu.edu] Takayasu Ito (Tohoku University, Sendai Japan) [ito@ito.ecei.tohoku.ac.jp] Ian Mason (University of New England, Armidale Australia) [iam@turing.une.edu.au] Julian Padget (University of Bath, Bath England) [jap@maths.bath.ac.uk] Their task is to facilitate the reviewing process, be on the watch for material for special issues, and otherwise generate ideas to improve the journal. We look forward to an outstanding second decade. |
