Introduction

The APL 2002 Conference will be held July 22-25, 2002
in Madrid, Spain. This is the annual international
conference on APL and other array programming languages
(A+, J, K, Matlab, Mathematica, Nial, S-Plus, etc.).
The conference will be held in cooperation with ACM
(SIGAPL) and the British APL Association.

Topics of Interest

The subject matter of the APL 2002 Conference is three-fold:

- Lore: The history of Array Programming Languages,
including historical considerations on any of the
following or other questions: design, implementations,
applications, difficulties, standards wars, divergence,
vendors, etc.

- Problems: Current use of Array Programming Languages
in research and innovation, stressing the advantages
provided by the use of the language in building a
prototype or the final system. Straightforward
descriptions of advanced research questions, or
proposals for extensions for current or new Array
Programming Languages are also encouraged.

- Applications: Actual use of Array Programming
Languages for real-life applications, with successful
case studies and comparisons with other languages.
The application in question need not be at the front
end of research in its field.

The APL 2002 Conference will also hold a number of
Tutorials, hands-on Workshops and Panel discussions.
