New Mars examples: Package Browser and Test Runner
by Carla F. Griggio Sept. 24, 2013

Sept. 24, 2013

Hi everyone! I want to let you know that I've just posted a screencast in my blog about the new Mars Package Browser and Test Runner<http://marsonpharo.wordpress.com/2013/09/24/marspackagebrowser-and-marstest…> . These examples are not really intended as being the definitive package browser or test runner, but to start experiencing how is it to build a real application using Mars and to showcase some widgets. Anyway, it's cool :) The Package browser is not so different to the system browser example I showed before, but the Test Runner is definitely my favorite example so far. I give more details in the screencast<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlBr42uaqxE>and the blog post<http://marsonpharo.wordpress.com/2013/09/24/marspackagebrowser-and-marstest…>. Any feedback is appreciated! Cheers, Carla.

Smalltalk PhD offer
by Loïc Lagadec Sept. 23, 2013

Sept. 23, 2013

We have an open PhD position for which we are looking for candidates with strong smalltalk skills. This PhD opens in the scope of the ERATO european project, This project aims at developping a new space-oriented system-on-chip, with reconfigurable capabilities. The project gathers many industrial partners (ASTRIUM, THALES, ...) and three academic partners. Our institute is in charge of developping the programming environment. We benefit from a large legacy, written in visualworks. The thesis will focus on industrial research perspectives (agile tools development, configuration compaction, target modeling, code generation, ...). One important contribution will be to expose a manipulation API to application Designers while protecting the hardware intellectual property. Also some compression schemes, used for video coding, will be stressed against practical experimentation when downsizing the bitstream (binary representation of the application). The PhD will be located in Brest (http://www.brest-metropole-tourisme.fr/en) in the ENSTA engineering institute (http://www.ensta-bretagne.eu) Duration: 36 months Starts: January 2014 Contact info: Loic Lagadec (+33 298 348 908) --

Sept. 18, 2013

Hi everyone, I work at Tomsk State University on a computer science department (http://csd.tsu.ru) As a part of my job I'm participating in management of a science work of students. I'm very interested in having them working on smalltalk-related themes. May be you can suggest an idea or two that they can help to develop? Thanks, Mikhail -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Ideas-for-graduate-works-for-russian-students-tp47089… Sent from the ESUG mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
