Call for Papers and Workshop Proposals for C5 '07
by Yoshiki Ohshima 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

Hello, The C5 conference, that has been a great place to meet with people who are doing research and/or practice in the field of communication, collaboration and education with computers. Please consider to submit papers and/or attend. -- Yoshiki ---------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS AND WORKSHOP PROPOSALS The Fifth International Conference on Creating, Connecting and Collaborating through Computing (C5 2007) January 24 - 26, 2007, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan http://www.cm.is.ritsumei.ac.jp/c5-07/ Organized by Hewlett-Packard Company Kyoto University 21st Century COE Program for Knowledge Society Infrastructure Viewpoints Research Institute SCOPE Computers, networks, and other forms of technology are now pervasive in our information-based society. However, most users still function as passive consumers of technology. To evolve into a true knowledge society, it is critical that we transform computer-based human activities to engage users in the active process of creating, connecting, and collaborating together. The C5 conference is for researchers, technology developers, educators, and technology users who are concerned about developing and enabling human-oriented creation, connection, and collaboration processes. C5 is an international forum for presenting ongoing work as well as new work currently under development and for discussing future needs and directions in creative computing and multimedia authoring environments. We welcome equally the submission of technical papers and practitioner/experience reports for paper presentations. In addition, we are adding a workshop track for the third day of the conference and are soliciting proposals for half-day and full-day interactive workshops. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest include but not limited to - Development and applications of collaboration tools and environments - User collaboration utilizing 3D, multimedia, and animation objects - Technologies for creating educational environments - Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) and Technology-Enabled Learning (TEL) - Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), distributed work, and virtual teaming - Hybrid technology activities, such as scientific experiments, instrumentation, robots, and game playing - Development of applications/content for non traditional learning environments, e.g. mentoring, peer-to-peer, "teacherless" environments (in developing countries), e.g., $100 laptop - Applications and tools for education from K-12 through higher education PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Original papers concerned with both theory and practice are solicited. A full paper with 8 page limit should be submitted by the paper submission deadline. The papers are reviewed by the program comittee and authors will be notified about acceptance. Accepted authors have to submit a camera ready version of the full paper with 8 page limit by the camera-ready copy deadline. Papers should follow the formatting instructions provided by 8.5" x 11", Two-Column Format of "IEEE Computer Society Press - Proceedings Author Guidelines" (please refer to "INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS" at http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps/index.jsp). Submitted papers and camera-ready papers should be sent electronically through our online submission site (http://www.cm.is.ritsumei.ac.jp/c5-07/myreview/). The PDF, Postscript and MS-WORD formats are acceptable. WORKSHOP PROPOSAL GUIDELINES The third day of the conference (Jan. 26, 2007) has been allotted for workshops and field trips. The workshop day is intended to offer conference participants the opportunity to learn more about human-oriented creation, connection, and collaboration processes and tools through interactive group experiences. Workshops allow conference participants to apply what they have learned in the plenary sessions and paper presentations through hands-on activities, facilitated discussions, and field trips to schools and sites offering technology-enabled learning activities. Workshop proposals should include workshop title, description of topic, workshop organizers, workshop duration (half-day or full-day) and estimated expenses (printing, etc.). Proposals should be sent to the conference contact e-mail address indicated at the conference web page. IMPORTANT DATES Full paper submission: October 16, 2006 Workshop proposals: October 30, 2006 Notification of acceptance: November 30, 2006 Full paper camera-ready copies: January 7, 2007 Proposals for demos and posters: January 7, 2007 PUBLICATION Preliminary version of the proceedings will be distributed during the conference. The formal version of the proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society and sent to authors after the conference.

If you use them as different applications, I don't think it is possible without using cookies or storing information based on IP address (this solution is bad because multiple users can have the same IP in the same time). If joomla is the base application which encapsulates pier and gjallar (using #call: or #render:) then it is possible as they will share the same session. > (sorry for my english) It was clear, hope my answer is too :-)

Why hasn't Smalltalk been wildly accepted?
by 啸然 17 Aug '06

My opinion is, the power of Smalltalk is same as an OS, but Smalltalk is as a programming language. The Smalltalk should be an OS.

Serialize domain model

Is there an equivalent to VisualWorks Binary Object Storage System (BOSS) in Squeak? (BOSS can write out the complete object graph to a file and create it again from the file.) Thanks Ernst -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Serialize-domain-model-tf2119549.html#a5845465 Sent from the Squeak - Beginners forum at Nabble.com.

Account association in Squeak

Hi, I know there is not good place for this question but i thought someone should have exprience with this. I want to associate pier and gjallar account system with my open source joomla CMS application's user system. Is it possible ? So, when a user log-in joomla, that user should be logged in pier and gjallar. If it is possible, what should i do ? Any idea ? (sorry for my english) Thanks, Serdar Sahin

Developer theme/image?
by Dirk Vleugels 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Hello, im using squeak3.8-6665full (standard download) on a G4 powerbook to play around with seaside. Everything works (as expected), but i don't like the interface for development: Two questions: Is there a theme (or image) available which removes 90% of the eye candy and adds some nice monospace fonts for all text-fields (Browser, Workspace, Transcript, etc.)? I played around with preferences & appearance from the world menu, but wasn't able to produce a usable UI. Squeak feels slow: I don't mean the vm execution speed for bytecode (seaside apps are fast enough), but the visual and/or tactile (i lack a better word here) feedback of the UI just feels slow. Even when typing the output sometimes lags behind ! It seems to get worse when adding things like Shout or eCompletion (which i would like to use). Drag & drop of window outlines is also slow. Maybe it's possible to tweak the scheduler? Remove morphic, use MVC world only? Im currently only interested in seaside development.... Emacs (well Aquamacs now) user here, so maybe im just spoiled .-) Regards, Dirk

Squeak and Pocket PC questions
by Petr Fischer 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Hi, I have some questions about the use of Squeak on Pocket PC (Windows Mobile 5 [WM5]). 1) how to detect "tap and hold" event? 2) how to disable fullscreen display mode? (is it possible? is it possible to show squeak GUI form on screen with WM5 taskbar and start-menu visible?) 3) how to show standard WM5 keyboard on screen if squeak appliaction is running? 4) will be Squeak 3.9 image for Pocket PC available in the future? I am using/testing SqueakVM-alpha6-030206-PPC-ARM.zip and Squeak 3.2 base image (or 3.7 base image) on Windows Mobile 5. Thanks, pf

It doesn't help that blurbs like the following appear. this is from the ACM TechNews for Aug 14, 2006 in the article "5 That Almost Made the List of Greatest Software": "Another close runner up was Smalltalk, a major breakthrough to be sure, but one that has been eclipsed by Java's network-oriented structure that will have much greater staying power as the Internet age progresses." I guess that it was just easier for the writer to describe Smalltalk as that tired, out-of-date stuff, rather than do a little research and discover that Seaside's continuation passing style is at the forefront of web server development, as described in the new O'Reilly book "Beyond Java". --Bert

Start up processes
by Steve Moffitt 15 Aug '06

Hi Bakki -- actually I have also tried it on the mac vm's and get the same problem -- that's why I wanted to look and see if one of the various packages I've loaded is somehow doing something at startup. My image was acting normal until yesterday -- just looking for some kind of damage I've done. Thanks, Steve
