0 4Sixth Annual International Symbolics Lisp Users Group Conference
0 1Developing and Delivering Applications
0 5Last year, over 150 users met in Boston with Symbolics management
0 5and developers to share3 5experiences and hear about Symbolics'
0 5technology, product and business plans.3 5This year,3 5SLUG-90 will
0 5include tutorials by Symbolics' Educational Services, technical
0 5sessions,3 5Birds-of-a-Feather sessions, formal presentations by
0 5Symbolics developers, presentations by3 5Symbolics management, and
0 5many opportunities for informal discussions with representatives3 5of
0 5all facets of Symbolics management.
0 5Symbolics has recently announced details of "Focus on Five", its new
0 5product and corporate3 5strategy to maintain price performance
0 5leadership, support application portability, and3 5broaden its markets.
0 5Top Symbolics management, including Jay Wurts (President and CEO),
0 5Ken Tarpey, Ken Sinclair, and Johanna Rothman will be on hand to
0 5discuss the strategy and3 5its implications.3 5Prominent Symbolics
0 5developers, such as David Moon, Kent Pitman, and Scott3 5McKay will
0 5discuss the forthcoming release of Genera 8.0 and the future of
0 5Genera, including3 5CLOS and CLIM.
0 5The theme of this year's conference is "Developing and Delivering
0 5Applications" - using the3 5tools provided by Genera to build
0 5application software while addressing the following3 5constraints:
0 5INTERFACES
0 5What are the right tools to use to ensure that the3 5programmer
0 5and user interfaces are optimal?
0 5MAINTENANCE and PERFORMANCE
0 5What effects will using a particular tool have on
0 5maintainability, extensibility, and performance tuning?
0 5PORTABILITY
0 5How can we make the application available to the user, and
0 5what tools exist3 5to ensure this can be accomplished?
0 5EXTENSIONS
0 5How can we take advantage of Symbolics' extensions to Genera
0 5(for example,3 5Statice, Joshua, and Concordia), given the above
0 5constraints?
0 5This year, the focus is on tools we can use to (1) develop better
0 5systems faster than we3 5could before, and (2) deliver these
0 5applications in a variety of environments.3 5Symbolics has3 5given us
0 5some solutions in both of these areas, such as CLOE and
0 5Ivory-embeds; what other3 5paths have been used successfully and at
0 5what cost?3 5In particular, we'll try to address the3 5question of how we
0 5can develop an application in Genera for delivery in different
0 5environments, while sacrificing as few of Genera's developmental
0 5advantages (and layered3 5products) as possible.
0 5Please join us in what promises to be a lively and informative week
0 5at Stanford!

0 4Sixth Annual International Symbolics Lisp Users Group Conference0 2Tutorial abstracts
0 5All tutorials are aimed at experienced Lisp programmers familiar with
0 5Common Lisp Flavors and3 5the Genera environment.3
0 6CLOS for Flavors Programmers
0 5Allan Wechsler, of Symbolics Educational Services, will be covering3
0 7o5 0 5Similarities between Flavors and CLOS
0 7o5 0 5Flavors features absent from CLOS
0 7o5 0 5Conversion tools and techniques
0 7o5 0 5New features of CLOS, including multimethods,3 5specialization on
0 5built-in types, individual methods, and the meta-object protocol.
0 5This tutorial is aimed at programmers who want to make their
0 5programs3 5portable by using the Common Lisp Object System.3
0 6CLIM for Genera Programmers
0 5Allan Wechsler will also be teaching this course and will cover3
0 7o5 0 5History of CLIM
0 7o5 0 5Example of a CLIM application
0 7o5 0 5Comparison between CLIM and Dynamic Windows
0 7o5 0 5Conversion tools and techniques
0 5This tutorial is aimed at Dynamic Windows programmers who want to
0 5make their programs3 5more portable by using the Common Lisp
0 5Interface Manager.3
0 6Developing Portable Common Lisp Programs
0 5Lauren Slater, of Symbolics Educational Services, will be teaching a
0 5course aimed at3 5experienced Genera programmers who have an
0 5interest or a need for porting an application to3 5a standard platform.
0 5This tutorial will provide a methodology for porting an application
0 5from a Symbolics machine3 5to an 80386 machine using Common Lisp,
0 5CLOS, CLIM, and Symbolics CLOE. The focus of the3 5tutorial will be on
0 5using the tools provided in both environments for expediting the port.
0 5Participants will learn how to use the CLOE Developer to develop and
0 5test an application in3 5an environment that is compatible with the
0 5eventual delivery environment.3 5They will learn3 5how to migrate their
0 5application from the Symbolics machine to the target environment,
0 5and3 5how to use the CLOE application generator to load and compile
0 5the application code.3 5Suggestions and tools for tuning the
0 5performance in the delivery environment will be covered.3 5In addition,
0 5the Common Lisp Developer, a similar tool for developing programs
0 5to be ported3 5not just to CLOE but to Common Lisps from other
0 5vendors, will be discussed.
