International Workshop on Smalltalk Technologies
Monday 31 st of August 2009, Brest, France
ESUG 2009 Smalltalk joint event
Smalltalk is considered as a design pearl and as a beacon in the realm of programming languages and programming environments. We are proud to invite submisssions to the International Workshop on Smalltalk Technologies which is held 'as part of the ESUG 2009 joint event at Brest. The goals of the workshop is to create a forum around advances or experience in Smalltalk. We welcome contributions on all aspects, theoretical as well as practical, of Smalltalk related topics such as
- aspect-oriented programming,
- meta-programming,
- frameworks,
- interaction with other languages,
- implementation,
- new dialects or languages implemented in Smalltalk,
- tools,
- meta-modeling,
- design patterns,
- experience reports
IWST has a InCooperation agreement with ACM SIGPLAN. The workshop is therefore a SIGPLAN event, and selected papers will appear in the ACM Digital library.
The goal of this workshop is to trigger discussion and exchanges ideas. Participants are invited to submit short and not-so short article. We will not enforce any length restriction, however we expect papers to range from 4 pages (short papers describing emerging ideas) to 15 pages (longer and deeper ideas and/or experiment description. Both submissions and final papers must be prepared using the ACM SIGPLAN 10 point format. Templates for Word and LaTeX are available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm; this site also contains links to useful information on how to write effective submissions.
