Dear all, Please notice that the IWST 2011 deadline has been extended to Monday June 27, 2011. LoÃ¯c Lagadec & Alain Plantec IWST 2011 Program chairs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IWST @ ESUG 2011 International Workshop on Smalltalk Technologies ACM In-Cooperation August 23th, 2011 Edinburgh, Scotland http://www.esug.org/Conferences/2011/International-Workshop-on-Smalltalk-Te… Authors of the best accepted papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for publication in a special issue of 'Software: Practice and Experience' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ESUG 2011 Smalltalk joint event IMPORTANT DATES * Submission deadline: June 27, 2011 EXTENDED * Notification deadline: July 15, 2011 GOALS AND SCOPE The goals of the workshop is to create a forum around advances or experience in Smalltalk and to trigger discussions and exchanges of ideas. Participants are invited to submit short and not-so short research articles. We will not enforce any length restriction. However we expect papers of two kinds: * Short position papers describing emerging ideas. * Long research papers with deeper description of experiments and of research results. TOPICS We welcome contributions on all aspects, theoretical as well as practical, of Smalltalk related topics such as: * Aspect-oriented programming, * Meta-programming and Meta-modeling, * Frameworks, * Interaction with other languages, * Implementation, new dialects or languages implemented in Smalltalk, * Tools, * Design patterns, * Experience reports PUBLICATION Both submissions and final papers must be prepared using the ACM SIGPLAN 10 point format. Templates for Word and LaTeX are available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm; this site also contains links to useful informations on how to write effective submissions.

Separation of design with CSS is namely something which really raised the creativity fo designers on the web. This can help building better and nicely looking Smalltalk apps too!

[Pharo-project] Fuel serialization - feature/bug
by Yanni Chiu June 16, 2011

June 16, 2011

In my test case for serializing a Pier kernel with Fuel, a FSMemoryStore (from the FileSystem package) is used. The FSMemoryStore holds the "file" bytes in a ByteArray. During serialization, I got a stack trace with KeyNotFound due to FLSerializer>>nextPutReferenceTo: when the object is the "file" ByteArray. Since this ByteArray is where the serialization is being written to, then it's hash value is changing, so Fuel serialization cannot find it in the instancesIndex. I think this is expected behaviour, and the fix is to not serialize certain inst vars. I was using the "stable" 1.4 version. Do I need to change to the 1.5 baseline to get the #fuelIgnoredInstanceVariableNames feature? -- Yanni

[Pharo-project] Morphic on HTML+CSS
by Janko MivÅ¡ek June 16, 2011

June 16, 2011

Hi all, In light of recent Microsoft surprising U-turn announcement [1] that in Windows 8 it swithes to HTML5 (HTML5+CSS+JavaScript) instead of .NET+WPF and Silverlight for desktop app development it is IMO a right time to think about: 1. is this a clear signal that HTML5 for ALL apps, both desktop and the web is inevitable? 2. is this a clear signal that we need to rebuild Morphic on top of HTML+CSS, to leverage all Morphic advantages and come back to bleeding edge again? I think yes. What Squeak/Pharo/Cuis GUI masters say? Best regards Janko [1] http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2011/06/html5-centric-windows-8-leave… -- Janko MivÅ¡ek Aida/Web Smalltalk Web Application Server http://www.aidaweb.si

[Pharo-project] Needed hooks to replace ImageSegment and ReferenceStream by Fuel?
by Mariano Martinez Peck June 16, 2011

June 16, 2011

Hi guys. Stef/Marcus are proposing to replace ImageSegment and RefenceStream by Fuel. Maybe in Pharo 1.4 or in the future. So, I need help to understand mostly the required "hooks". So far, I am aware of: *ReferenceStream* 1) #comeFullyUpOnReload: aReferenceStream This message is sent once the object is read from the stream, at materialization time. We already have this in Fuel and it is called #fuelAfterMaterialization 2) #objectForDataStream: refStrm This message is sent once the object is going to be written into the stream, at serialization time. The idea is that an object may not serialize itself as it is but something different. Most of the times, it is a DiskProxy, but not necessary. This doesn't go with the idea of Fuel, where the objects do not decide theirself how to be serialized/materialized but instead delegate to a cluster. 3) #applyConversionMethodsTo: objectIn className: className varMap: varMap This is for class shape changes. We will have another protocol. 4) #storeDataOn: aDataStream This message lets an object decide how to be serialized. *ImageSegment* a) #startUpFrom: anImageSegment Almost the same as 1). So....I am missing more? opinions? which of them are really used hooks? Thanks -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

[Pharo-project] #currentVersion is wrong?
by Mariano Martinez Peck June 15, 2011

June 15, 2011

Hi Dale. If I took the latest Pharo 1.3 from hudson: https://pharo-ic.lille.inria.fr/hudson/view/Pharo/job/Pharo%201.3/214/ and I print ConfigurationOfPharo project currentVersion I get ->>>>> >=1.2.2 [ConfigurationOfPharo] But in fact, that's not true. It should be 1.3-beta2 [ConfigurationOfPharo] I've checked and the real version loaded is 1.3-beta2 so I think it is a problem of #currentVersion. Thanks -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com
