extending apl to logic programming
     abstract: the limitations that make ibm's pc apl slow at logic
     programming were analysed. the best option for speeding it up was to give
     it an auxiliary processor with suitable logic functions. it can now
     compete with prolog. the paper also describes experience in use.

development of a portable software product for library automation
     abstract: the paper describes the use of apl alongside assembler and c to
     produce a system to meet the needs of french public libraries. it handles
     cataloguing, bibliographical enquiries and follow-ups on lending and
     acquisition. it runs on ibm mainframes and unix machines.

the scope of apl in nuclear measurements
     abstract:  the whole range of data acquisition and analysis in
     experimental nuclear physics can be covered with a few apl workspaces.
     typical steps in the treatment of statistical data are highlighted and
     compared with solutions in other languages. there is advice for aplers
     wishing to compete against fortran.

analysis of function application in deep arrays
     abstract:  the proposed extension suggests that arrays of functions as
     well as arrays of data are possible in apl2, although they are more
     complex. the paper examines the case of mixed function arrays and draws a
     parallel with the sharp concept of function rank.

apl: a prototyping language
     abstract:  a thorough analysis of prototyping and apl's advantages over
     other languages for this task. hierarchical and hybrid approaches to
     modelling systems of various degrees of complexity are illustrated with
     examples to show that apl makes for a pleasant life!

style and literacy in apl
     abstract:  the shibboleth that apl instruction lines should be short is
     amusingly contrasted with the practice of many skilled apl writers. then
     it is suggested that the genius of the language calls for line length to
     be appropriate for the task in hand and many examples are given of 'four
     lines good: two lines better' (or even one line best).

logic programming in apl2
     abstract:  this paper explores the representation of logic using the data
     structures of apl2. some lisp and prolog features are translated into apl2
     and developed to create a complete prolog-like programming environment,
     with an inference engine and a knowledge base. search strategies are also
     discussed. (see eusebi: paper number 123).

delis: a decision support system generator for frequency data
     abstract:  delis displays frequency data as tables or graphs on many types
     of display and output device. it provides query and display functions, a
     method of passing queries to be processed and functions for automatic
     analysis and response to the queries. the apl is plain vsapl. frequency
     data is extracted and passed to the system in apl file format with pl1.

an apl/370 compiler and some performance comparisons with apl interpreter and
fortran
     abstract:  an experimental 370 compiler works with a subset of apl chosen
     for engineers and scientists. the compiled code runs several times faster
     than the interpreter and is of about the same quality as is produced from
     fortran. the paper explains how the front end analyses the apl dataflow
     to produce parse trees, graphs and tables and how such efficient 370 code
     is generated.

compiling optimized array operations at run-time
     abstract:  some apl interpreters hold arrays as descriptors which point
     to a block of memory holding the data sequentially. scalar functions
     therefore can be translated into machine code which has fewer loops than
     the number of dimensions to the array. this paper describes an analyser
     which constructs optimised array operations at run time from the
     descriptors of the arrays. the performance and results from experiments
     are analysed.

automated application programming environment
     abstract:  small businesses can justify the low cost of tailor-made
     applications in apl if ways can be found to reduce the programming cost
     to the user and file interfaces. the paper offers file and screen
     utility functions to help solve this problem and illustrates their value
     and portability with an example.

     abstract:  a really complex business problem was handled by a group of
     apl novices and a successful system developed on a microcomputer in a
     remarkably short time. the detailed steps are explained. the whole is an
     excellent example of the strengths of apl and its value in prototyping.

from tensor and suffix notation to apl
     abstract:  tensor and suffix notation reveals the simplicity and symmetry
     of some otherwise complicated and obscure multivariate formulae. matrix
     algebra and apl normally would hide the structures of interest but the
     paper shows how to represent the notation in apl and the advantages and
     disadvantages of apl for this work are made clear.

     problems are solved. they show logical inference, state space
     representations and other ai methods. a set of functions for searching a
     database of rules and facts will be explained and demonstrated.
     enhancements to cater for heuristic, bidirectional and parallel search
     are shown.

open fullscreen systems
     abstract:  an open fullscreen system combines two advantages a) presenting
     the user with data and prompts a whole screen at a time, b) providing
     access to the the power of apl and all the functions in the workspace.
     systems can be designed which allow any command to be given whatever the
     current state of the system. non-apl users can be given access to some of
     the same power through cover functions which become a command language
     like keyword apl.

modelling the arithmetic of statistical distributions
     abstract:  the paper reviews various kinds of extended arithmetic and
     their advantages. statistical modelling can be approached as an extended
     arithmetic of distributions. an apl prototype leads to a suggestion for
     the result of the quad-cr of a primitive function.

quaternions and homogeneous co-ordinates
     abstract:  real numbers, complex numbers and mathematical vectors are all
     special cases in the number scheme of quaternions (which are ordered
     quadruples of real numbers). quaternions provide an attractive alternative
     to matrix methods for transformations of geometric figures - especially
     rotations about arbitrary axes (such as are needed by robots). apl allows
     easy implementation of quaternions but a hybrid between quaternions and
     homogeneous matrices gives the best speed of transformation.

apl procedures (user defined operators, functions and token strings)
     abstract: the paper describes some central aspects of an apl implementation     on a hewlett packard minicomputer. the developm
      ent of these ideas leads to
     a consistent structure for all procedures, where a procedure is defined as
     a structured sequence of apl expressions, eg ambivalent functions, monadic
     and dyadic operators. tokenising and detokenising functions and a single
     hyperoperator are introduced. the extensions are superimposed on a basic
     imprint of sharp apl.

     newcomers to apl needQ here is part of a syllabus for the second course.
     it helps with multidimensional arrays, the less obvious applications of
     grade and scan and the creation of better user interfaces including the
     process of closing an open workspace and error trapping. the presentation
     will be a sample of the course.

a generalised data base interface for apl
     abstract:  by the provision of a function through which all database calls
     are made it becomes possible to link apl with several different
     proprietary databases. only subfunctions invisible to the apl programmer
     vary according to the database in use. the generalisation that made this
     possible is described. the system has been in use for over two years at
     johns hopkins university.

     with a 137 megabyte file server) make an astonishingly cheap and efficient
     modular construction for this system - its specification looks like a job

     abstract:  how should arrays of operations be incorporated into aplQ this
     paper combines and builds on earlier suggestions and proposes to extend
     strand notation, to allow 'orders' of operation with ways of stepping
     between order levels and to extend the use of jot to allow niladic
     operator calls.

the integration of relational database algebra into apl
     abstract:  instead of linking databases to apl (which involves
     inconsistencies and loss of generality), this paper proposes that apl is
     enhanced by the addition of relational database primitives. a relation
     would become a special case of generalised arrays. the paper concludes by
     proposing ways to improve machine efficiency in the use of such
     extensions.

a perfect square root routine
     abstract:  this is an example of the use of apl as a prototyping language
     to design and test algorithms for use in other languages. here it is used
     on the method now incorporated into sharp apl for calculating square
     roots. the problems of binary representation and how to minimise the
     inaccuracy in the result are explored. some fascinating problems arose
     and were resolved in the testing of the method ( WperfectW because the
     method is as accurate as the representation allows).

machine oriented languages in the apl environment
     abstract:  to enable apl to compete in efficiency with other languages we
     need a way to specify the machine operations in detail. the functions
     that use most time can then be optimised. apl itself is not ideal for
     this, as the paper explains. it then shows what is needed to make compiled
     functions available in a workspace and describes experience with several
     methods, including a language specially designed for the job (tabl).

assertive comments in apl programming
     abstract:  this proposal suggests that instead of describing what code is
     intended to do, comments should assert the current state of relevant
     variables at critical points in the code. this is shown to match the
     design method that many aplers use, which works from desired result to
     function.

apl as a prototyping language: case study of compiler development project
     abstract:  apl's advantages for such work are its conciseness, its
     excellent debugging and modelling facilities, the great power of enclosed
     arrays and the simple interface between the workspace and outer
     environment provided by shared variables. the strategy used is to write
     prototype functions in apl and by several steps to convert from high level
     apl to low level pascal. the benefits of this approach are evaluated.

list of tutorials booked for apl 86

stream 1 of apl 86 consists entirely of tutorials. all are given by experts in
their field. below is a summary of arrangements as they stand at the time of
writing (end of march 1986).

monday 7 july   2 pm to 3.30 pm

an introduction to apl2 - principles and concepts
     ray polivka aims to suit the needs of people relatively new to apl.
     anyone who knows a bit of standard apl should find this a splendid
     introduction to apl enhancements.

                4 pm to 5.30 pm
apl2 by example
     alan graham will pick up the thread where ray left it and will present
     the power and elegance of apl2 in example after example.

tuesday 8 july  9.30 am to 11.00 am

apl2 and the information centre
     bjorn helgason and kenneth ostling will review the features of apl2 which
     help in the information centre - component files (object library),
     graphic images and the use of the sql workspace and the pc with ic/1.

                11.30 am to 1.00 pm

generalised linear models
     dr. alan sykes will demonstrate and explain the advanced software in use
     at the dept of management science and statistics at university college of
     swansea.
                2.00 pm to 3.30 pm

apl and assembler on the pc
     andrew k. dickey will explain why you might want to call pc assembler
     routines from apl and how to go about doing it  -  with examples in
     apl*plus/pc.
                4 pm to 5.30 pm

apl pc auxiliary processors
     manuel alfonseca and david selby will explain how ibm pc apl can use
     auxiliary processors to do work the interpreter cannot handle and will
     deal with the uses of eleven of those currently available, including
     interfaces to non-apl programs, graphics, a screen handler, dos files,
     the ports (and rs232 and gpib/ieee) and even a music interface.

wednesday 9 july  9.30 am to 11.00 am

a second course in apl
     stephen jaffe submitted this as a paper> we liked it so much we asked him
     to give a sample rather than just a paper about it. he will give guidance
     for non-experts in the use of multidimensional arrays and the less obvious
     uses of grade and scan.

                11.30 am to 12.15 pm

apl2 and complementary functions
     dieter latterman will explain how the power of apl2 makes many standard
     utilities obsolete. he will teach you how to write those utilities you
     still need as defined functions which behave like and can be used just
     like primitives, and how nested arrays are for many purposes more
     suitable and natural to handle than simple matrices.


                12.15 pm to 1.00 pm

apl2 idioms
     alan graham's second tutorial was submitted and accepted as a paper but
     the full list of wonderful idioms was so long that we have had to put it
     into the tutorial volume. in this session he will explain some of the
     most useful and interesting idioms on the list.

                2.00 pm to 5.30 pm

artificial intelligence using apl2 - in two parts with a tea break
     the two tutorials will be given by ramiro guerreiro, ed eusebi and dr
     james brown (ibm's chief architect of apl2). the first part is the
     fundamentals of ai (for newcomers to it) such as propositional and
     predicate logic, rules of inference, resolution and search strategies.
     part two is about the implementation of these ideas in apl2 using nested
     arrays and recursive function sets. the results will be compared with
     prolog and lisp and you can have listings of the apl2 functions.

thursday 10 july  9.30 to 11.00 am

teaching statistics with apl
     professor alan hawkes and students will teach you some statistics and
     show how easy it is to convert standard formulae into apl. some student
     projects may also be demonstrated.

                11.30 am to 1.00 pm

graphics with apl - a tutorial and panel discussion
     theodor formanek will show how to do simple graphics with apl - the
     geometry needed and the data structures that are suitable. the lecture
     part will be suitable for people who have not previously used apl for
     graphics. this will be followed by a panel session with contributions
     (and we hope some demonstrations) from a number of people who have
     done spectacular work with apl graphics. come and ask them questions!

                3.00 pm to 5.30 pm with a short break for tea

apl a language for thoughts and dreams
     phil smith aims to startle people out of their complacency to overcome
     old habits of thinking and to reveal the magic of apl to newcomers. come
     and see why his sessions have such a wonderful reputation.

friday 11 july  9.30 am to 11.00 am

how to typeset apl (and other things).
     this is more than a tutorial> it is two contributed papers (from john
     howland and ian feldberg) with quite different approaches to producing
     mixed apl and roman text, followed by a panel discussion in which everyone
     concerned with printing or publishing apl will want a say - not to mention
     the authors.

sunday
                             education day

       a special event for those interested in apl and education
            a day of presentations and hands on experience
                   on micro-computer versions of apl
                         designed to introduce
                          people in education
                         to apl and apl users
                       and persuade them that it
                  is better than other languages both
            to teach and to use in teaching other subjects.
     details of speakers and timetable will be sent to enquirers.
