Goals and scopes

The goals of the workshop is to create a forum around advances or experience in Smalltalk and to trigger discussions and exchanges of ideas. Participants are invited to submit research articles. We will not enforce any length restriction. However we expect papers of two kinds:

• Short position papers describing emerging ideas.
• Long research papers with deeper description of experiments and of research results.

Topics

We welcome contributions on all aspects, theoretical as well as practical, of Smalltalk related topics such as:

• Aspect-oriented programming,
• Design patterns,
• Experience reports,
• Frameworks,
• Implementation, new dialects or languages implemented in Smalltalk,
• Interaction with other languages,
• Meta-programming and Meta-modeling,
• Tools

Publication

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 informations on how to write effective submissions.

Authors of the best accepted papers will also be invited to submit extended versions for publication in a special issue "Smalltalk Based Systems" of Elsevier "Science of Computer Programming: Methods of Software Design: Techniques and Applications"

SCP Call for paper is SCP: Advances in Smalltalk based systems, from high level environment to hardware devices
