Lisp was born about 25 years ago as an A1 language with a precise operational semantics. Since then many Lisp dialects have been proposed, implemented and used. In 1960's Lisp 1.5 was a kind of Lisp standard, although there were many Lisp 1.5 dialects which depend on 1/0 and computer systems. In 1970's various Lisp dialects were spawned to respond to the need of more powerful Lisp systems for A...

Until recently every Lisp implementation has had either a relatively large assembly language core or extensive microcode support. We have been working on a Common Lisp [Steele 1982] for the S-1 Mark IIA super-computer being developed at LLNL, producing an implementation that has high performance, exploits the complex architecture of the S-1, and which is almost entirely written in Lisp [Brooks ...

This paper surveys three Lisp systems which do not enjoy widespread populario. Nevertheless, each has features which make them particularly suitable for certain applications and all exhibit care in certain aspects of their design which are worthy of greater recognition. The three Lisps are Portable Standard Lisp (nee Standard Lisp), LisplVM (nee LispN70) and Cambridge Lisp. In fact, the last in...

By using this service interface and communicating with Map-Resolvers and Map-Servers, LISP Ingress Tunnel Routers and Egress Tunnel Routers are not dependent on the details of mapping database systems, which facilitates experimentation with different database designs. Since these devices implement the "edge" of the LISP infrastructure, connect directly to LISP-capable Internet end sites, and co...
