			SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

		  (SUBMISSION DEADLINE APPROACHING!)

     FOURTH INTERNATIONAL LISP USERS AND VENDORS CONFERENCE (LUV'94)

                            AUGUST 15-19, 1994

                      BERKELEY MARINA MARRIOTT HOTEL
                          BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA.

Attention authors and potential authors of papers on Lisp, Scheme, Dylan,
and other dialects of Lisp!

As is now traditional, the schedule for this year's Lisp Users and Vendors
Conference (LUV '94) provides for technical papers about Lisp.

Unlike the more theory-oriented ACM Lisp & Functional Programming
Conference, what we're looking for are concrete, practical papers that
talk about issues of importance to those who build their commercial
business in today's marketplace using Lisp-based products.

This is a chance to share your success stories, discuss your techniques,
or even document technical and social obstacles you're facing that you
haven't yet managed to overcome.  The conference together experts who are
focused on making Lisp succeed in the marketplace, and there is no better
forum for you to engage in a public dialog about the issues facing Lisp
today.

THE SUBMISSION DEADLINE (FOR PAPERS OR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS) IS 31 MAY 94.
PLEASE CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY IF YOU PLAN TO SUBMIT SOMETHING BUT WILL
HAVE DIFFICULTY MAKING THIS DEADLINE.

Paper presenters will be in very distinguished company.  We are pleased
to announce that invited talks at this conference will be:

		   ``Lisp as an Extension Language''  
	       Richard Stallman, Free Software Foundation

			``Perspectives on Lisp''
		   John McCarthy, Stanford University

SCOPE AND CONTENT.  Material in papers must clearly demonstrate a
 practical value from the use of the Lisp language or Lisp technology; as
 such, papers need not be especially innovative or original.  Preference
 will be given to previously undisseminated reports or experiences.  Topics
 in the area of programming languages and environments are welcome.
 Untested or purely theoretical ideas are less suitable. The full range
 of Lisp dialects are appropriate to this conference, including (but
 not limited to) Common Lisp, ISLISP, Eulisp, DKLISP, JKLISP, Emacs Lisp,
 XLISP, AutoLisp, Interleaf Lisp, Scheme, and Dylan.
