15th International Smalltalk Joint Conference - Call for Contributions
August 25 - 31, 2007 - Lugano, Switzerland
http://www.esug.org/conferences/2007
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For the past 14 years, the European Smalltalk User Group (ESUG) has
organised the International Smalltalk Conference, a lively forum on
cutting edge software technologies that attract people from both
academia and industry for a whole week. The attendees are both
engineers using Smalltalk in business and students and teachers using
Smalltalk both for research and didactic purposes.
As every year, this year's edition of the largest European Smalltalk
event will include the regular Smalltalk developers conference with
renowned invited speakers, a Smalltalk camp that proves fruitful for
interactions and discussions. Besides, this year will be held the 4th
edition of the Innovation Technology Awards where prizes will be
awarded to authors of best pieces of Smalltalk-related projects.
Last, but not least the event includes as usual a research conference
which was renamed this year into "International Conference on Dynamic
Languages". This reflects the widening of the scope of this
conference to enable cross-fertilization with research conducted
using other dynamic languages.
You can support the ESUG conference in many different ways:
* Sponsor the conference. New sponsoring packages are described
at http://www.esug.org/supportesug/becomeasponsor/
* Submit a talk, a software or a paper to one of the events. See
below.
* Attend the conference. We'd like to beat the previous record
of attendance (116 people at Köthen, Germany in 2004)!
* Students can get free registration and hosting if they enroll
into the the Student Volunteers program. See below.
The conference features the following events:
* Camp Smalltalk
* Developers Forum
* Research Forum
* Technology Forum
Developers Forum : International Smalltalk Developers Conference
------------------
This year we are looking for YOUR experience on using Smalltalk. The
list of topics includes, but is not limited to the following:
* XP practices
* Development tools
* Experience reports
* Model driven development
* Web development
* Team management
* Meta-Modeling
* Security
* New libraries & frameworks

Research Forum : International Conference on Dynamic Languages
------------------
Smalltalk is one of the oldest object-oriented languages, but its
conception and programming environment can still be considered as a
design pearl and as a beacon in the realm of programming languages
and programming environments. The bulk of its modern contenders are
still lacking many of the features that Smalltalkers find both
mundane and essential. Nevertheless, as software engineering
practices and new application fields evolve, Smalltalk should keep
up. This concerns the language, its implementation technology, its
programming tools as well as the software development culture it
supports. The research forum invites scientific articles that report
on original research conducted in and/or for Smalltalk. The list of
topics includes, but is not limited to the following:
* Aspects, Aspect languages and Applications
* Ambient Intelligence, Ubiquitous & Pervasive Computing
* Embedded Systems
* Compilation Technology, Optimization, Virtual Machines
* Formalizations
* Language Engineering, Extensions
* Model Driven Engineering
* Programming in the Large, Design, Architectures, Components
* Development Environments
* Program Analysis
* Reflection and Metaprogramming
* Testing
* Agile Techniques
* Web Services & Internet Applications

------------------
We are proud to announce the 4th Innovation Technology Awards. The
top 3 teams with the most innovative software will receive,
respectively, 500 Euros, 300 Euros and 200 Euros during an awards
ceremony at the conference. Developers of any Smalltalk-based
software are welcome to compete.

Student Volunteer Program
------------------
If you are a student wanting to attend ESUG, have you considered
being a student volunteer? Student volunteers help keep the
conference running smoothly; in return, they have free
accommodations, while still having most of the time to enjoy the
conference.
