by stephane ducasse Feb. 13, 2024

Feb. 13, 2024

Dear friends Please distribute the following call ESUG 2024 Call for Presentations from 8 to 11 July 2024 Lille France https://esug.github.io https://esug.github.io/2024-Conference/conf2024.html 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, software to the award competition, or a paper to IWST http://https://esug.github.io/2024-Conference/IWST2024.html - Attend the conference. We'd like to beat the previous record of attendance (180 people at Koln 2019)! - Students can get free registration and hosting if they enroll in the the Student Volunteers program. See below. ## Developers Forum: International Smalltalk Developers Conference We are looking for YOUR experience on using Smalltalk. You will have 30 min for presentations and 45 min for hands-on tutorials. The list of topics for the normal talks and tutorials 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 - Educational material, Embedded systems and robotics - SOA and Web services, Interaction with other programming languages - Teaching Pearls and Show us Your Business We added two types of sessions in addition to the regular talks and ''Show us your project'' sessions. - Show your business in a 10-minute session (Get prepared!!) - Teaching pearls: we want some sessions on how to teach some design aspects. We want your tip and tricks to teach Smalltalk or OOP. We expect to have several 10 to 15-minute sessions aggregated. ### How to submit? Make a Pull Request here https://github.com/ESUG/esug.github.io/tree/source/2024-Conference/talks [Or but only if you are not connected to the worldâ¦ send an email to stephane.ducasse(a)inria.fr] Title: [ESUG 2024] Please follow the template below the email will be automatically processed! Name: Email: Abstract: Bio: ## Call for Student Volunteers 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. Pay attention: the places are limited so do not wait till the last minute to apply. Conference details: Send an email to Steven Costiou <steven.costiou at inria.fr> and Oleksandr Zaitsev <olk.zaytsev at gmail.com> with: title: [ESUG 2024 Student] name, gender, university/school, country, email address short description of you and why you are interested in participating For which period is accommodation covered? Accommodation is covered from Sunday from 8 to 11 July 2024 (including nights from Sunday to Monday and from Wednesday to Thursday ). Students will be hosted in student rooms. ESUG additionally covers the lunches during the week and one dinner. Duties include handling registration as people arrive at the conference, filling coffee machines, collecting presentation slides for ESUG right after the presentation is given, being present at an information desk to answer questions, and generally being helpful. Student volunteering makes the conference better, takes a fairly small amount of time, and doesn't significantly interfere with enjoying and learning from the conference. Please note, that this role requires discipline and constant attention to all attendees. Information about hotel Student Volunteer rooms are booked at (to be announced). If you are a student volunteer, do not book yourself, we have arranged the booking already!

Open PhD position on debugging at Inria Lille
by Steven Costiou Feb. 8, 2024

Feb. 8, 2024

Hello, we have a PhD position opening at Lille, France. See all details here: https://recrutement.inria.fr/public/classic/fr/offres/2024-07154 Steven. _Summary of the research proposal:_ ### Application development inevitably introduces bugs. Often, it's not clear why a code change introduced a bug. To find this cause-and-effect relationship and debug more efficiently, developers can sometimes rely on the existence of a previous version of the code without the bug. Yet, traditional debugging tools are not designed for this kind of work, making it a tedious operation. In this thesis, we propose an approach that enables us to understand and to debug an application in a LIVE SYSTEM, such as Pharo or Python, by comparing two executions with different results: one execution succeeds and the other fails. Based on this hypothesis, we propose in this thesis to answer the following challenges: - How to detect divergence, i.e. different behavior between two executions of a program? - How can we reduce the cost in time, memory and energy consumption of detecting divergence(s) on long executions? - What are the criteria for deciding whether a divergence is normal or unauthorized? - What about detecting multiple divergences in the same program? - What abstractions are needed to compare two executions of a program and detect divergences? To meet these challenges, in addition to a precise state-of-the-art on debugging techniques, the PhD student will study concrete cases of program execution and propose a tool to be integrated into Pharo.
