  • The Past, Present and Future of Software Architecture

    Wed, 13 Sep 2006 in Cambridge, United Kingdom

    The activity of "software architecture" has emerged into mainstream software development consciousness fairly recently, joining specification, design, code and test. Why has this new activity emerged and what is it? Is it not just high level design? In this talk, Eoin Woods will trace the emergence of this activity, explain what makes software architecture unique, and provide some thoughts on where this new specialisation is headed.

  • Success with macros and closures - a brief foray into Common Lisp

    Wed, 10 May 2006 in Cambridge, United Kingdom

    Ask a seasoned lisper "Why lisp?" and they'll talk to you about a language that's fun to program in and incredibly productive. This talk will convey a sense of this by implementing a couple of simple but fully-featured examples.

  • Journeys in non-classical computation - A UK Grand Challenge in Computing Research

    Wed, 12 Apr 2006 in Cambridge, United Kingdom

    Today's computing, classical computing, is an extraordinary success story.
