1. MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
1.1 JTC1/SC22/WG16 STATEMENT OF SCOPE
Development and maintenance of ISO/IEC Standards related to Lisp.
Its single project is 22.23 "programming language ISLISP", which
produced ISO/IEC 13816:1997.
1.2 PROJECT REPORT
1.2.1 COMPLETED PROJECTS
None over this period.
1.2.2 PROJECTS UNDERWAY
Project 22.23 produced ISO/IEC 13816:1997. The project has not
yet discussed the five-year revision. The project has started a list of
unofficial defect reports.
Here are a few notes on national activity related to project 22.23:
1) ISLISP in Japan
Japanese WG on Lisp Standardization chaired by T. Yuasa
registered ISLISP as JIS language translating the English
standard (JIS X 3012:1998).
In this process they found several (minor) errors in the
original documents, and also, they found several places
that need further refinements.
2) Implementations
OpenLisp interpreter and compiler by C. Jullien
(Eligis),
TISL interpreter and compiler by N. Izumi and T. Ito
(TISL: Tohoku university ISLISP system)
A system developed by Oki Corp under supervision by T. Yuasa
(Interpreter and compiler for a specific VM)
TISL/P interpreter and compilier by N. Izumi and T. Ito
(An extension of TISL to introduce a package system)
1.2.3 NEW PROJECTS
None over this period.
1.2.4 CANCELLED PROJECTS
None over this period.
1.3 COOPERATION AND COMPETITION
No liaison with any JTC1 group. No competition with any JTC1 group.
Related standards are ANSI COMMON LISP and IEEE SCHEME.
All are complementary in the Lisp community.
2.0 PERIOD REVIEW
2.1 MARKET REQUIREMENTS
No market requirement change were noted over this period.
2.2 ACHIEVEMENTS
Informal investigation of the five-year revision content.
Informal discussiion on infrastructure of WG work to produce the 5-year
revision.
2.3 RESOURCES
Resources to address defect reports are secured (FR and US, and GB
and JP as backup).
Project Editor: Kent M. Pitman (US)
Associate Project Editors: Julian Padget (GB), Taiichi Yuasa (JP)
3.0 FOCUS NEXT WORK PERIOD
Produce a five-year revision.
3.1 DELIVERABLES
Perhaps sumbit the five-year revision (convener is not sure yet about the
timeframe required by JTC1 rules).
3.2 STRATEGIES
Promote distant collaborative work instead of calling face-to-face
meetings.
3.2.1 RISKS
None for the work planned over the next period.
3.2.2 OPPORTUNITIES
Address new market requirements for Lisp thanks to the 5-year revision.
3.3 WORK PROGRAM PRIORITIES
None for the work planned over the next period.
4. OTHER ITEMS
4.1 POSSIBLE ACTION REQUEST AT FORTHCOMING PLENARY
None.
4.2 RECENT MEETING
15th meeting: 1996 November, Paris, France.
14th meeting: 1996 March, Bath, United Kingdom.
4.3 FUTURE MEETINGS
No meeting planned for the next period, if distant collaborative work goes
well.
5 DRAFT RESOLUTIONS FOR SC22
None.
