Research Organizations

This listing is far from complete and is intended to provide recognition to currently active research projects.

Artificial Intelligence

Auckland University of Technology, Institute for Information Technology Research: Natural language research.
Carnegie-Mellon University: Artificial Intelligence Research.
Institute of Information Technology Research, School of Information Technology, AUT: Speech and language research.
MIT AI Laboratory: Artificial Intelligence Research.
NASA Ames Research Center, Cognition Laboratory: Human-system modeling technology.
Robotics Institute: Artificial Intelligence Research.
Space Telescope Science Institute: Observation preparation, planning and scheduling systems for the Hubble Space telescope.
SRI International AI Center: Artificial Intelligence Research.
Stanford University: Artificial Intelligence Research.
University of Rochester: Artificial Intelligence Research.

New York University Courant Bioinformatics Group: Tools for the manipulation and analysis of DNA sequence data, for use in an environment for the planning, running and reporting of biological experiments.
Children's Hospital Informatics Program: Several web-based and stand-alone programs for bioinformatics, most of which are written in Common Lisp.
Center for Computational Pharmacology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine: We invent tools and provide services (web-based and other) for the analysis and interpretation of high throughput molecular biology data, expecially gene expression arrays and mass spec proteomics. Most of our tools are written in Common Lisp. We have what we consider to be the world's best lisp hardware environment, a 16 processor IBM p690 with 64GB (yes, GB) of RAM, running a 64 bit version of Franz's Allegro Common Lisp. There is more common lisp bioinformatics work done by our collaborators in Dr. Shah's lab

U.S. Army Research Laboratory: Lisp is used at the Human Research and Engineering Directorate. In April 2003 there were job opportunities for Lisp programmers.

Los Alamos National Laboratory, Cluster Research Group: Cluster monitoring system (Supermon) uses data representation and wire-protocol based on LISP S-Expressions.

CERN: The CERN Common Lisp Users Group facilitates and promotes the use of Common Lisp at CERN.

Planning and scheduling software for the Hubble Space Telescope and other astronomical observatories.

Spike: Lisp scheduling software suitable for ground- and space-based observatories
APT: end-user observation planning GUI with Lisp backend

David Cope: SARA and Soucerer are MCL based packages to do music analysis and algorithmic music synthesis.; David Copes is offering a two week Workshop in Algorithmic Music Composition from June 23 to July 11, 2003.
