Sixteen papers were submitted in response to the workshop's call for papers. Every paper was reviewed by every member of the program committee. This unusually thorough level of reviewing ensured that the review process, which was conducted over the course of two weeks by electronic mail, was both an informed and spirited one. In addition to personally reviewing each paper, the members of the program committee also solicited outside experts for supporting reviews. We are grateful to Will Clinger, Paul Graunke, Shriram Krishnamurthi, Philippe Meunier and Mitch Wand for their service as outside reviewers.
The purpose of the workshop is to discuss experience with, and future developments of, the Scheme programming language, as well as general aspects of computer science loosely centered on the general theme of Scheme. The intention of the steering committee is that the workshop provide an annual focal point where the Scheme community can gather and share ideas: researchers, educators, implementors, programmers, hobbyists, and enthusiasts of all stripes -- all welcome.
Paul Graunke, of Northeastern University, capably and expeditiously managed the server infrastructure supporting the reviewing process. (His task was faciliated, in turn, by the fact that this server infrastructure was written in Scheme, as were the scripts used in the production of this workshop proceedings.) Publicity for the workshop was managed by Shriram Krishnamurthi, of Brown University.
I would personally like to thank the workshop steering committee, and particularly Matthias Felleisen, for advice and general counsel during the planning of the workshop.
