Abstract | LIJOS
is a Lisp implementation of the Java DataStreams and the serializing ObjectStreams.
LIJOS allows the direct serialized transfer of objects and other data between
Lisp and Java systems. A major design goal for the LIJOS systems is that it be a "pure" Lisp implementation in the sense that it adhere strictly to the Java standard and that no modification to the Java system is required for its use. I will describe our experiences in the Lisp implementation, its handling of Lisp/Java type compatibilities, and plans for future work. I will also briefly describe work on OMAR, a hybrid Lisp/Java human-modelling simulation system that was based on a serialization-stream mechanism which was precursor to the LIJOS system. |
