Aphasiadx: an Expert Diagnostic System for Aphasia

AphasiaDx is an expert system that has been created to assist with the diagnosis of aphasia. It has been developed using Common Lisp, Common Lisp Object System, and a logic programming system Prolisp. As part of a larger neurodiagnostic system, Neurobridge, AphasiaDx has been programmed to diagnose Broca’s aphasia, Wernicke’s Aphasia, global aphasia, mixed transcortical aphasia, transcortical s...

Firmware Approach to Fast Lisp Interpreter bY

The approach to speed up a Lisp interpreter by implementing it in firmware seems promising. A microcoded Lisp interpreter shows good performance for very simple benchmarks, while it often fails to provide good performance for larger benchmarks and applications unless speedup techniques are devised for it. This was the case for the TAO/EL6 system. This paper describes various techniques devised ...

Prolog vs. Lisp

Prolog and Lisp benchmark timings are compared on the VAX 8600. The measured Lisp-toProlog time ratio varies between 0.143 and 2.83. These differences between Prolog and Lisp performance can be explained by studying the structure of the benchmarks and the language implementations. Previous authors have used such measurements as evidence that one language is "better" than the other; their works ...

Lisp: Good News, Bad News, How to Win Big

Lisp has done quite well over the last ten years: becoming nearly standardized, forming the basis of a commercial sector, achieving excellent performance, having good environments, able to deliver applications. Yet the Lisp community has failed to do as well as it could have. In this paper I look at the successes, the failures, and what to do next. The Lisp world is in great shape: Ten years ag...
