IWST22 â International Workshop on Smalltalk Technologies
by Vincent Aranega May 2, 2022

May 2, 2022

Hi everyone, As you probably know, after complicated years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the International Workshop on Smalltalk Technologies (IWST) is here again and will be held with this year ESUG conference August 24th to 26th in Novi-Sad, Serbia. Due to authors requests, we moved further the initial deadlines. The 2022 paper review, WiP submission and acceptance processes will proceed with the following deadlines: - Submission deadline: June 1st, 2022 - Notification deadline: July 1st, 2022 - Workshop with ESUG conference: August 24th-26th, 2022. Like last year, we are very proud to announce a Best Paper Award. We thank the Lam Research Corporation for its financial contribution which makes it possible for prizes for the three best papers. We are also happy to announce that accepted papers will be published in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings. IWST has now a significant history and has served for years as a smart playground for young researchers to practice writing articles & presenting results. In parallel, senior researchers take benefit from IWST to expose mature work and propose some retrospective or draw future directions. Mixing these two kinds of contributors makes IWST that attractive. Letâs do the 2022 edition conformed to this legacy! https://esug.github.io/2022-Conference/cfpIWST2022.html Vincent Aranega LoÃ¯c Lagadec
