UK Smalltalk User Group Meeting - Wednesday, November 25th
by Giovanni Corriga Nov. 25, 2020

Nov. 25, 2020

The next meeting of the UK Smalltalk User Group will be on Wednesday, November 25th. Stephen Travis Pope will present Siren9 and CSL6 - Frameworks and Applications for Sound/Music Creation and Processing. The Siren system ( https://github.com/stpope/Siren9 ) is a general-purpose software framework for music and sound composition, processing, performance, and analysis; it is a collection of about 350 classes written in Smalltalk-80 (40 kLOC or so). The current version of Siren (9.0) works on VisualWorks Smalltalk and supports streaming I/O via OpenSoundControl (OSC), MIDI, and multi-channel audio ports. The CREATE Signal Library (CSL)( https://github.com/stpope/CSL6 ) is a cross-platform C++ framework for digital audio signal synthesis, analysis, spatialization and interactive sound/music application development. CSL was developed at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) starting in the late 1990s. This presentation will introduce both package and demonstrate their use together to construct real-time compositional and music synthesis software. Stephen Travis Pope ( http://heaveneverywhere.com/stp ) is an award-winning composer, film-maker, computer scientist and social activist based in Santa Barbara, California. He is currently active as a software development contractor and intellectual property expert through FASTLab. His music and video compositions are released through HeavenEverywhere Media. Stephen has used the Smalltalk programming system since 1984 and made several significant contributions to it, though he remains frustrated by programming environments in general. Given the current COVID-19 restrictions, this will be an online meeting from home. If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance on the meeting's Meetup page ( https://www.meetup.com/UKSTUG/events/cbklbrybcpbhc/ ) to receive the meeting details. Don’t forget to bring your laptop and drinks!

Call for Events for <Programming> 2021
by Fabio Niephaus Nov. 16, 2020

Nov. 16, 2020

<Programming> 2021 : The Art, Science, and Engineering of Programming March 22-26, 2021, Online, United Kingdom http://2021.programming-conference.org ******************************************************** CALL FOR EVENTS ******************************************************** https://2021.programming-conference.org/track/programming-2021-workshops To build a community and to foster an environment where participants can exchange ideas and experiences related to practical software development, ‹Programming› will host a number of workshops. As <Programming> is online this year, the main goal of workshops is to promote social gathering and lively discussions amongst participants. This edition’s workshops will replace the social experience of a physical event and as such, their topics and organization may deviate from their physical counterparts. So they should be the main events in the conference week. A workshop can be intended as a collaborative forum to exchange recent and/or preliminary results, to conduct intensive discussions on a particular topic, or to coordinate efforts between representatives of a technical community. They can also be regarded as a forum for lively discussion of innovative ideas, progress, or practical experience on programming and applied software development in general for specific aspects, specific problems, or domain-specific needs. This year, we would like to encourage organizers to be creative and experiment with all kinds of events including hallways discussions, academic parties besides the more traditional workshops. Possible types of workshops include a meeting like a Dagstuhl Seminar or Shonan meeting, a gathering for an international research project, a tool demo/tutorial, hands-on workshops in which participants experience one or several aspects of practical software development, social gathering around a particular topic and so on. Open meetings are preferable but closed ones could be accepted. We are flexible and welcome innovative social gatherings; if you have any ideas or questions, please contact the workshops co-chairs. The duration of workshops is in general one day, but we encourage the submission of half-day workshop proposals on focused topics as well. If desired, the workshop proceedings can be published in the post-conference Companion Proceedings, in the ACM Digital Library. ### Submission Deadlines Deadline: December 3rd, 2020 Notifications will go out as soon as possible, within a week after the deadline. ### Workshop Selection Committee Shigeru Chiba (University of Tokyo, Japan) Elisa Gonzalez Boix (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium) ### Submission and Workshop Process Please submit your workshop proposal electronically via the submission system: https://2021.programming-conference.org/createProposal/ccc82a7e-eabb-40db-a… Please adhere to the workshop proposal guidelines given below and provide all requested information about the proposed workshop. Please keep it brief and use the provided form. The intention is not to spend time on proposal writing, but on preparing the organization of the workshop. To coordinate with the deadlines of the main conference, the following deadlines have to be respected by workshops: **Workshop web page/site and CFP:** December 11th 2020 **Deadline for submissions to the workshops:** - possibly after January 7th 2021 (final notification issue 3) - no later than February 1th 2021 **Notification of authors:** March 1st, 2021, the latest, to be before the early registration deadline. **Deadline for Camera-Ready Papers (Companion Proceedings at ACM DL):** May 1st 2021 **Workshop dates:** March 22nd to 26th 2021 ### Workshop Proposal Guidelines Please include the following information either directly in the proposal, or CFP. The submission system has a form that includes an abstract (for the website), the CFP, and the remaining proposal. CFPs often cover the same information, duplication is not necessary for such cases. Organizers of a workshop previously co-located at <Programming> are allowed to submit a minimal proposal including information for the questions marked with (*). 1. What is the motivation for the workshop? - Objectives - Intended audience - Relevance (with respect to the topics of the <Programming> conference) 2(*). Who organizes the workshop? - Organizers and primary contact (name / affiliation / email) - Brief details on the organizers (previous workshop organizing experience, etc.) - Data on potential previous iterations of the workshop - How many participants do you expect (please make at least an educated guess) - What kind of software do you expect to use to run the workshop (e.g. slack, Zoom, Teams, etc.) - Advertisement: Planed advertisement strategy to ensure participation 3. Is there going to be a workshop program committee? - if so, please list the members (indicated as finalized or expected) 4. What is the planned workshop format? - Planned deadlines - Intended submission format (e.g. intended format for articles, posters, abstracts, or any other kind of submission requested to participate in the workshop) - Evaluation process for submissions - Intended workshop format (including duration, number of presentations/talks, planned invited talks/keynotes, etc.) 5(*). What is the intended publication of accepted submissions? - ACM DL post companion proceedings and/or website pre/post-proceedings ### Notes on Companion Proceedings Workshops that wish to have their proceedings published in the ACM DL will have the opportunity to have post proceedings. However, chairs will be responsible for making sure that camera ready deadlines are respected so that final copies and metadata are collected on time. The deadlines mentioned above are **strict**. Please consider them carefully when determining your deadlines for the workshop.

by Vincent Aranega Nov. 2, 2020

Nov. 2, 2020

Hi everyone, As you probably noticed, due to the COVID situation and with ESUG cancelled, IWST organization went late. We are happy to announce that we are planning the remote event for mid-November. Each year IWST is collocated with ESUG and we get a rough idea of the number of participants, but this year we cannot rely on that. To get a good estimation and ensure that a maximum of persons can enjoy the presentations, we kindly ask you to answer the following poll before the 27th of October: https://fast-poll.com/poll/28735962 Thanks to all of you, Vincent Aranega Loïc Lagadec
