An xo bundle of this application will be available shortly. You could
already try it here:
http://people.ofset.org/hilaire/DrGeoII-10.08.xo
If you could try on your XO machine, please do a report to Hilaire.
I think this is a good idea, if we propose a vietnamese translation of
this activity.
Any volunteers ?
Regards,

In the past three years the Smalltalks series of conferences
(www.fast.org.ar) have been a lively forum on Smalltalk-based software
technologies that attracted over more than 200 people from both academia
and industry for three days.
During the first three conferences, the industrial partners showed the
applicability of Smalltalk in business, while researches (both students
and professors) showed their advances and didactic uses of Smalltalk.
The presented approaches and methodologies concerned the language, its
implementation technology, its programming tools as well as the
software development culture it supports.
This year the accepted papers not only will be available in the website
but also the best ranked ones will be published in a special edition of
Elsevier COMLAN Journal. Thus, we invite to submit papers in the
research track on original scientific research conducted in and/or for
Smalltalk in general.
Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
• Aspects, Aspect Languages and Applications.
• Ambient Intelligence, Ubiquitous / Pervasive Computing and
Embedded Systems.
• Compilation Technology, Optimization, Virtual Machines.
• Educational Material.
• Language Engineering, Extensions.
• Model Driven Engineering / Development.
• Meta-Modeling, Reflection and Meta-programming.
• Programming in the Large, Design, Architectures and Components.
• Programming Environments, Browsers, User Interfaces, UI Frameworks.
• Reasoning About Code (Analysis, Refactoring, Type Inference,
Metrics).
• Team Management.
• Testing, Extreme Programming / Practices.
• Web Services, Internet Applications, Event-driven Programming.
• Experience Reports.
Important dates:
Submission (Hard Deadline): September 7th, 2010 (Argentinian time:
UTC/GMT -3 hours).

Hi all,
i'm looking for a candidate for a PhD position in computer science
between France and Vietnam related to disaster management (a very
important topic for Vietnam). The description of the subject is below.
If you are interested by this position, send me a message ASAP.
Best regards,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IRIT laboratory of Université of Toulouse and UMMISCO research team
invite applicants for a PhD. position related to disaster management
and computer science.
PhD Thesis title: Models/Forms of coordination for crisis resolution:
analysis, discovery and efficiency
Supervisors' names: Pr. Chihab Hanachi (Université de Toulouse), Dr.
Ho Tuong and Dr. Serge Stinckwich (UMMISCO, Vietnam)
Scientific domain : crisis management, computer science.
Subject
In a crisis context (natural or industrial disasters, violence
explosion, ...), different actors (e.g. the police, firefighters, NGO)
are called to reduce the crisis and stabilize its impact on the real
world. Their interventions take the form of operational processes by
each actor according to its responsibilities, tasks and resources,
each of them exploiting its own information system. The coordination
of these actors and their interventions is crucial in order to ease an
efficient control and resolution of the crisis. Usually, this
coordination may take two different forms:
- An explicit coordination provided by a central crisis command
center, steering the crisis, which in the French context, for example,
may be composed of a prefet (state's representative in a departement)
and representatives of institutions involved in resolving the crisis.
In this case, coordination is supported by a collaborative process
(supported by a set of official plans) to orchestrate the different
partners operations, while respecting the autonomy of their actions,
according to their expertises and responsibilities. This process is
most often adapted to cope with a dynamic, unstable and unpredictable
environment, due to the impact and evolution of the crisis, but also
to the heterogeneity and multiplicity of stakeholders and their
possible geographical dispersion.
- Sometimes, especially during major natural disasters, coordination
may be implicit (no preset plans, ineffective authorities, ...).
Interactions can emerge between several institutions and voluntary
organizations, involved in resolving the crisis. In this case,
coordination is partly governed by the different actors strategies or
personal interests . There is no more a centralized schema.
These two forms of coordination may also co-exist and the question of
their interaction and coherence is raised. How to take into account
emerging social events in predefined formal procedures which did not
plan these phenomena ? How to deal with the entrance and departure of
uncontrolled actors during the crisis management ? In this thesis
proposal, we are interested (research project) by distributed
information gathering (testimonies of people, pictures taken by phone,
data from sensors, ...) which can be seen as a form of distributed
problem solving where coordinated sources of information have to
cooperate to form a whole picture of the crisis at given time. The
scientific aims of the thesis are the design and implementation of
models and algorithms enabling :
1) The analysis of relationships between information collected in the
field: facilitation, interference, aggregation, independence (or
interdependence), uncertainties, ... It is also necessary to take into
account the temporal aspect of information.
2) The identification of formal coordination models dedicated to the
crisis resolution (coordination processes, organizational structures
and networks of actors, interaction protocols). This step, based on an
analysis of the nature of information flows between actors, should
allow to identify generic structures that can be formalized into
models.
3) The analysis of coordination efficiency. By analyzing actors
effectiveness in terms of ressources management and accuracy to
represent the reality, we would like to compare the different
coordination models. This analysis aims at suggesting process
improvements and good practices in terms of coordination. This can be
done through simulations using individual-centered approaches.

Vietnam).
Requirements
The candidates must have a strong background in Software Engineering
and Computer Science, and hold an MSc or equivalent diploma. Some
experience with research is a plus, especially for engineers. English
writing fluency is a must. English speaking fluency is necessary,
especially if the applicant does not speak French. Applicants should
send ASAP their application, the curriculum vitae, statement of
research interests as a PDF attachment, to Dr. Ho Tuong Vinh
(tuong.vinh.ho(a)gmail.com). A recommendation letter from a professor is

Subject: [Pharo-project] [Last Call] [JOB] Pharo Engineer at INRIA

[REPOST] Please note: DEADLINE 15 July*
INRIA RMoD is looking for a full-time engineer for helping with Pharo
development.
As researchers, we need a really great system to explore new ideas with.
The job of the engineer is to help us by improving the infrastructure we
use for our work.
What this of course means is that it's kind of a cool job: work in a research
lab, but no paper writing, no teaching, no administration. In addition:
-> live in France (one hour from Paris, 1h20 from London, 35
min from Brussels)
-> try a lot of good beers (our office is just 10km from the
border to Belgium)
-> enjoy french food
-> code all the day in Smalltalk and a bit of C
>From what the DHR services told us, the salary will depend on years of
expertise and diplomas.
We can think that 2700 Euros (before final taxes) should be a good
working number for a
candidate of the experience we are looking for. In France the employer
pays already social
security and pension. So the salary already includes lots (and lots)
of deductions compared
to e.g. a german brutto salary. Holidays: 45 days per year (plus
standard bank-holidays).
Lille is an active city but not expensive (lots of students...),
centrally located, with
good connections by train to everywhere (including Paris CDG and
Brussels airports).
The job will be to continue making Pharo better:
- better tools
- better network support
- better compiler infrastructure
- improve the VM
- help with day-to-day bug fixing and constant improvement
Therefore we are looking for a candidate with some years of Smalltalk
(possible Pharo/Squeak)
background.
Duration: 30 months
Starting date: October 2010
Location: Lille (no remote job possible)
