Call for your input on questions you ask yourselves during merge

by Stéphane Ducasse

Hi guys We are writing some articles on the work of veronica to support merging activities. We need your input great smalltalk community :) What are the questions that you ask yourselves when you are/want to merge some code in your project? We would like to do a compilation of questions and also evaluate how the solution of veronica solves them or part of them. Here are some typical questions we asked ourselves. - What other changes did this change require? - Can I integrate this change right now? - How large it is? - Who made it? - Is it still valid (when I'm working on an old change)? - Is this change impacted by a change that happened in another branch of my software?

STIC 2012 Student Volunteer Program

by Georg Heeg

Dear ESUG members, A few weeks ago STIC has invited STIC 2012 with a general call for participation. Yesterday we have announced our Student Volunteer Program in <http://www.stic.st/2011/11/student-volunteers-program/> http://www.stic.st/2011/11/student-volunteers-program/. We plan to send out a formal call for papers for our STIC Academic Workshop "Smalltalk Directions" the near future. This workshop will have a formal review process by a Program Committee from all over the world. Our Academic Advisory Council is confident that we will have a publication of the papers accepted in a medium which is recognized worldwide.

Hi guys Hani Abdeen was in our group and he is now looking for a job Stef ====================================================== Hani Abdeen Dec. 1980 - Nat.: Syrian Tel: +49 176 312 090 76 Email: hani.abdeen(a)gmail.com Current address: Breaisacherstr. 23 - 79106 Freiburg - Germany Highlights ======== >> PhD in Software Engineering (RMod, INRIA Lille-Nord Europe): OO Software analysis and maintenance; Software visualization; Software metrics; Software modularization; Meta-Modeling; Moose. >> Experienced Smalltalker and OO Software maintainer: during my PhD, I participated in the maintenance and development of the Moose platform for Software and Data analysis. >> Excellent knowledge about: Software Development Process and Methodologies; Software Design and Software architecture; OO requirements specification and design. >> Programming: Smalltalk, Java, JSP, C#.NET, ASP.NET, HTML, XML, CSS, SQL, UML. >> IDE: VisualAge, Visual Works Cincom, Squeak, Netbeans, Microsoft Visual Studio, Php Mysql, SQL-Server, Dreamweaver, Magic Draw. >> Languages: English (excellent), French (fluent), Arabic (mother tongue), German (basic-knowledge). >> Availability: from 01 December 2011. >> Ideal position: Smalltalker, OO Software developer and designer. >> Publications in conferences and journals: ICSM’07, CSMR’08, WCRE’09, WCRE’2011, Information and Software Technology (IST) journal -2010. ====================================================== I am ========= I am excellent at programming in OO languages, particularly in Smalltalk language, and keep updating my knowledge with the latest Software development technologies. I am habitual of working independently, and set goals for myself if not assigned any by the organization. I set benchmarks for myself and achieve my goals in the decided time. I am completely dedicated to my job. I am energetic, a fast learner, and motivated with excellent communication skills. ====================================================== Experiences ========= >> 2006-2009 (INRIA Lille Nord-Europ, RMod): Smalltalker; OO Software Developer and Maintainer. I started my experience during my PhD studies at INRIA RMod team as a Smalltalker and a Software maintainer. During this experience, I have participated in the maintenance and development of the Moose platform for Software Re-Engineering, and the meta-modeling language FAMIX. I have developed new tools that help in understanding and in re-modularizing OO software systems. All my tools are developed over Moose in Smalltalk (Visual Works Cincom platform). I have developed two visualization tools that help in understanding large and complex OO software modularizations (the organization of classes and packages). I have developed an optimization tool that automatically re-modularizes OO Software applications (optimizes the existing modularization). The optimization process is based on the meta-heuristic technique Simulated Annealing, and it uses a set of Coupling & Cohesion metrics that I developed. With RMod team, we have used my tools for analyzing and understanding large OO open-source systems, such as Squeak. >> 2010- 15 Sep. 2011 (International University for Science and Technology, Damascus): Lecture in Software Engineering. In addition to my experience as adjunct-faculty instructor at several French academic institutes, I also worked as a full-time lecture in the Software engineering domain at IUST, Damascus. My experience as a teacher of university in the domain of Software Engineering provided me the following opportunities: -learning more and teaching different programming languages and platforms (such as C#.Net, ASP.Net, Java); -supervising Software development projects of junior and undergraduate developers; -teaching junior developers how to analyze system requirements and design them in order to build concrete Software solutions. The most important topics that I practiced, understood, and taught during this experience are: - Software Development Process and Methodologies; - Software Design and Software architecture; - OO requirements specification and design, and the UML formalism. - OO programming and testing. - Software maintenance; Reuse and reengineering. - Information Requirements Analysis: Sampling and investigating hard data; Interviewing; Using questionnaires; Observing decision-maker Behavior and the office environment; Prototyping and Rapid Application Development. - The Analysis process: Using Data Flow Diagrams; Analyzing systems using data dictionaries; Describing process specifications and structured decisions; Preparing the systems proposal. - User Interfaces Design; Components-Events Oriented Programming; C#.Net. - Web Technologies and Web Applications; HTML; CSS; XML; Javascript; APS.Net. - Relational Databases, SQL, php Mysql. ======================================================
