[Mike Kent]

The APL 2007 conference, sponsored by ACM SIGAPL,
has as its principal theme "Arrays and Objects" and,
appropriately, is co-located with OOPSLA 2007, in
Montreal this October.


APL 2007 starts with a tutorial day on Sunday, October 21, followed by a
two-day program on Monday and Tuesday, October 22 and 23.

APLers are welcome to attend OOPSLA program events on Monday and Tuesday

     Monday-Friday       Oct 22-26    OOPSLA program

Tutorials

     Using objects within APL

     Array language practicum

     Intro to [language] for other-language users
     ( We expect that there will be at least one introductory
       tutorial on "classic" APL, and hope to have introductions
       to a variety of array languages )





We solicit papers and proposals for tutorials, panels and workshops on
all aspects of array-oriented programming and languages; this year we
have particular interest in the themes of

      integrating the use of arrays and objects

      languages that support the use of arrays as a
      central and thematic technique

      marketplace and education:  making practitioners aware of
      array thinking and array languages


Our interest is in the essential use of arrays in programming in any
language (though our historical concern has been the APL family of
languages:  classic APL, J, K, NIAL, ....).


Dates:

     Tutorial, panel, and workshop proposals, and notice of intent to
     submit papers, are due by Friday June 15, to the Program Chair.

     Contributed papers, not more than 10 pages in length, are due
     by Monday, July 23, to the Program Chair.  Details of form of
     submission can be obtained from the program chair.


     Deadline for detailed tutorial/panel/workshop information TBA.
