by Fabio Niephaus May 7, 2018

May 7, 2018

<Programming> 2019 : The Art, Science, and Engineering of Programming April 1-4, 2019, Genova, Italy http://2019.programming-conference.org The International Conference on the Art, Science, and Engineering of Programming is a new conference focused on programming topics including the experience of programming. We have named it <Programming> for short. <Programming> seeks for papers that advance knowledge of programming on any relevant topic, including programming practice and experience. Paper submissions and publications are handled by the the Art, Science, and Engineering of Programming journal (http://programming-journal.org) Accepted papers must be presented at the conference. ******************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS ******************************************************** <Programming> 2019 accepts scholarly papers that advance knowledge of programming. Almost anything about programming is in scope, but in each case there should be a clear relevance to the act and experience of programming. PAPER SUBMISSIONS: June 1, 2018 URL FOR SUBMISSIONS: http://programming-journal.org/submission/ Submissions covering several areas of expertise are accepted, including but not limited to: â¢ General-purpose programming â¢ Distributed systems programming â¢ Parallel and multi-core programming â¢ Graphics and GPU programming â¢ Security programming â¢ User interface programming â¢ Database programming â¢ Visual and live programming â¢ Data mining and machine learning programming â¢ Interpreters, virtual machines and compilers â¢ Modularity and separation of concerns â¢ Model-based development â¢ Metaprogramming and reflection â¢ Testing and debugging â¢ Program verification â¢ Programming education â¢ Programming environments â¢ Social coding ******************************************************** CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS ******************************************************** To build a community and to foster an environment where participants can exchange ideas and experiences related to practical software development, <Programming> will host a number of workshops, during the days before the main conference. The workshops will provide a collaborative forum to exchange recent and/or preliminary results, to conduct intensive discussions on a particular topic, or to coordinate efforts between representatives of a technical community. They are intended as a forum for lively discussion of innovative ideas, recent progress, or practical experience on programming and applied software development in general for specific aspects, specific problems, or domain-specific needs. We also encourage practical, hands-on workshops in which participants actually experience one or several aspects of practical software development. WORKSHOP PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS: First Deadline: July 1st, 2018 Second Deadline: September 1st, 2018 The duration of workshops is in general one day, but we encourage the submission of half-day workshop proposals on focused topics as well. In exceptional situations, e.g., for workshops that involve actual practice of programming-related activities, workshop organizers can request a 2 day workshop slot. If desired, the workshop proceedings can be published in the ACM Digital Library. ******************************************************** IMPORTANT DATES ******************************************************** Research paper submissions: June 1, 2019 Research paper first notifications: August 1, 2018 Research paper final notifications: September 7, 2018 Workshop proposals: July 1st, 2018 (first deadline) Workshop proposals: September 1st, 2018 (second deadline) ******************************************************** ORGANIZATION ******************************************************** General Chair: Davide Ancona, University of Genova Local Organizing Chair: Elena Zucca, University of Genova Program Chair: Matthew Flatt, University of Utah Organizing Committee: Walter Cazzola (Workshops Co-Chair), UniversitÃ degli Studi di Milano Stefan Marr (Workshops Co-Chair), University of Kent Fabio Niephaus (Publicity Co-Chair), Hasso Plattner Institute, University of Potsdam Tobias Pape (Web Technology Chair), Hasso Plattner Institute, University of Potsdam Program Committee: Mehdi Bagherzadeh, Oakland University Walter Cazzola, UniversitÃ degli Studi di Milano Ravi Chugh, University of Chicago Joeri De Koster, Vrije Universiteit Brussel Christos Dimoulas, Northwestern University Susan Eisenbach, Imperial College London Richard P.

Esteban's ChangeLog week of 30 April 2018
by estebanlm＠gmail.com May 7, 2018

May 7, 2018

Hello! This is my weekly ChangeLog, from 30 April 2018 to 6 May 2018. You can see it in a better format by going here: http://log.smallworks.eu/web/search?from=30/4/2018&to=6/5/2018 ChangeLog ========= 3 May 2018: ----------- * I took some time to polish a long time waiting PR: [https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/1202](https://github.com/pharo-…, which finally closed [case: 20878](https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/20878)... and incidentally cleaned up some dependencies with old Compiler we no longer need. Not bad :) * I spent last 5 working days working on a change on metacello that I thought it was going to be just a morning. Considering murphy's law of estimations, I'm still 5 days early ;) ... but I'm not done (even if PR is working, you can see it [here](https://github.com/Metacello/metacello/pull/490)) I'm waiting for some feedback from Dale (there are some problems on gemstone side and I need help for it). Anyway. this PR basically makes tonel format available even when declaring +filetree://+ repositories (+filetree://+ now is just a declaration of "smalltalk format", not binded to +cypress+ as before). This should provide backward compatibility on baselines (who can still be declared with +github://+ etc. protocol) and makes tonel format available up to Pharo 3.0 versions (since it does not depends on iceberg presence anymore). cheers! Esteban

Aboud CI test retries
by Guillermo Polito May 4, 2018

May 4, 2018

Hi all, Initially the pharo build had tests that were failing randomly. To cope with that, we introduced a retry of the tests. Nowadays, this situation is actually very rare. Tests that fail, fail always, and randomly failing tests are not seen so often... This means however, that in the case that a test is persistently failing, we are (uselessly) retrying it, and making jobs take 10-15 minutes longer for nothing. I propose that we remove the retries. - This will speed up the builds that are green and only penalize those that are not green. - Remove stress from our servers (that we use to have a higher ratio builds/hour :)) - Randomly failing tests will just need to manually retry the build. But since green builds take now ~15-20 minutes, which is in the same order of magnitude of the retries, we only penalize the one that found the hiccup. Guille
