The last was a question :-P Is PharoChrome expecting to be logged in to some Google account to work?

Hi Alistair, The example is not working for me. When I run it, a chrome session is open but nothing happens there, except that my image gets frozen until I close chrome and then I get this message: "ConnectionTimedOut: Cannot connect to 127.0.0.1:9222". What is the expected behavior? PharoChrome expects the user to have a Google account or be logged in by default to work (that would be a shame for those of us that don't a Google account and still value our privacy).

Hi Alistar, I have tried to run the examples, but seems that installation doesn't include all needed package. At the beginning I installed OSUnix and then OSLinuxUbuntu. None of them seems to include "AKGOSProcess", so the "GoogleChrome get: 'http://pharo.org'" example raises: "#command:arguments: was sent to nil".

PhD in IoT and Pharo

by Stephane Ducasse

Hi we have a PhD position in France around IoT and Pharo. Description Over the last years, the RMOD team of INRIA Lille and the CAR theme of IMT Lille Douai have been working together on creating tiny language core. For example, Guillermo Polito demonstrated in his PhD a fully reflective kernel that fits into 80 kb of memory and that it is possible to have hyper specialized kernels down to 11 kb. We have also worked on remote debugging (PhD of N. Papoulias) and dynamic code updates (PhD of P. Tesone) of such kernels. All of these works are prototyped in Pharo. More recently, RMOD have been working on advanced probes mechanisms (M. Denker) and a solid remote debugging infrastructure (D. Krudiaskov). The goal of this PhD is to revisit the architecture around such mini-kernels for building IoT applicatons. The following tasks are foreseen : â improve the tools to : edit, compile, debug, deploy and update such kernels on IoT devices. Learning how to debug remotely and dynamically update such IoT systems using the PharmID Pharo environment. This task will be in cooperation with M. Denker and D. Krudiakov on remote debugging for IoT and G. Polito for the kernel edition and tooling, â define some language extensions to manage groups of IoT devices to program them at once. Managing hundreds or even thousands of IoT devices is a challenging task. We want to explore different solutions to help deploying and updating groups of IoT devices using some registration mechanism in a cloud server or some groups/roles based approaches for example, â expressing the architecture of IoT applications. We would like to explore also how to express IoT architectures and what are the abstractions that should be offered to developers such as expressing event-driven architectures with declarative ECA (Event-Conditions-Actions) rules. But we will study a couple of typical IoT appli- cations. â dynamically update an IoT application. An IoT application needs to adapt itself because unreachable or faulty devices or the diminution of available bandwith. We would like that the whole application can reconfigure itself in such situations as Guillaume Grondin proposes it in its PhD. â Lighweight virtual machines. Virtual machines in the IoT context are very powerful for incremental deployment or dynamic updates. Although they are tuned for speed,they consume space compared to a non VM-based program. In this task, we would like to investigate what is the minimal memory consumption that we can reach for a VM usable for IoT. To do so we will use a standard VM such as Cog (the open- source virtual machine of Pharo) and degrade it. We will use it since our minimal kernels are running on it. Note that ZweiDenker GmbH is interested in collaboration on the IoT management cloud infrastructure. Application To apply, please send us : â a CV, â a copy of your Master diploma â a copy of your Master thesis â 2 (two) reference letters, with the contact details of the referents â links to videos of demos of your experiments and/or simulations The application materials should be sent by email to Prof. S.

Re: [Pharo-users] About implementing a "Mini Pillar" in-image renderer for Pharo ...

by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas

Hi, The readme is clearer now about Iceberg integration as an option not as prerequisite. Installation works, but Pillar preview tab is grey and clicking on it rises: "Instance of FFIExternalResourceManager class did not understand #removeResource:". Also the syntax highlighting in the (plain) Pillar tab is not working and neither the image preview. A plain installation of just Pillar (without GT Documenter) got those two working once.
