The Institute for Applied Forth Research, Inc.

President: Lawrence P. G. Forsley

The Institute for Applied Forth Research was chartered in New York State on April 21, 1982 as a non-profit corporation.

Its purposes are:

• To promote the application of current Forth research to scientific and industrial problems through publications, seminars, conferences, and other means for the exchange of ideas, techniques and information.

• To promote and facilitate the exchange of information about new work in Forth among the academic, industrial and commercial sectors.

• To foster communications among various groups and individuals using Forth.

• To publish on a periodic basis a scholarly journal containing articles and commentary on Forth and its applications and to publish monographs and other publications consistent with the general purposes of the corporation.

• To conduct seminars and conferences where Forth and its applications can be presented and discussed, but such seminars and conferences shall not be given for academic credit.

Activities:

• Rochester Forth Conference
  Beginning in 1981, annual conferences have been held in June and proceeding of all presented papers have been published within a year. Attendance has varied from 40 to nearly 200. The atmosphere has been very congenial with plenty of time for interaction among attendees. Plans are being made for a 1996 conference which will be announced as soon as they are final.

• The Journal of Forth Applications and Research (JFAR)
  The Journal publishes refereed articles. Six Volumes of 2-4 Issues each have appeared. Though it was initially planned to publish volumes annually, it has not been possible to meet that schedule. At present we are considering electronic publication of the articles as they become available.

• Other activities
  Over the years the institute has sponsored fellowships and projects through Institute gifts.
