Welcome

This year the international conference on array processing languages (APLs) will take place in the amazing scenery of a warm midsummer Rome. The University of Tor Vergata presents modern structures with plenty of space both inside and outside and excellent parking facilities. Moreover, the Faculty offers excellent conference facilities such as four hundred plus seats main conference room, several two hundred plus secondary conference rooms and computer room facilities.

The conference is devoted to present the state of the art in the development and applications of array processing languages, with particular attention on computational environments and marketplace languages such as APL, J, Mathematica, Fortran90, Maple, Gauss, and others.

The conference topics focus on (but are not limited to):

• languages and environments (state of the art, future perspectives, relation amongst languages)
• computer science (human-computer interaction, object oriented programming, parallel architectures, parallelism and concurrency, networking)
• applications (discrete mathematics, new computing paradigms (neural nets, genetic programming), finance, economics and social science, insurance and actuarial mathematics, statistics and operational research, simulation)
• education (teaching APL(s), teaching with APL(s))
