Smalltalks 2010 Research Track: Call for Papers

Con esto, queda oficialmente anunciado el congreso Smalltalks 2010!!!
Este año lo haremos en la UTN de Concepción del Uruguay, Entre Rios.
Estamos muy contentos de poder hacerlo ahí, una facultad que ha hecho mucho por Smalltalk y ha traido mucha gente a todos los congresos, y estamos muy contentos de poder hacerlo en otra ciudad que no sea Buenos Aires puesto que nuestro objetivo es llevar Smalltalk a todo el país.
Por favor! miren que comité tenemos!!! la put... una maravilla (todo laburo de Gabriela Arevalo, grande Gaby!!)
Para la gente de Buenos Aires, les comento que estamos trabajando para hacer que el viaje y hospedaje sea factible para todos.
Personalmente creo que esta bueno salir un poco de la "gran ciudad", conocer otros lugares de nuestro país y apoyar la difusión de Smalltalk de esta manera, espero que puedan apoyarnos en esta iniciativa!

Conference Site: Universidad Tecnológica Nacional (UTN), Concepción del
Uruguay (Entre Ríos, Argentina)

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.
