UK Smalltalk User Group Meeting - Wednesday, May 25th

by Giovanni Corriga

For our May meeting, Object Guild's Jonathan van Alteren and Erik Stel will give us a preview of Expressive Systems. Expressive Systems is a framework inspired by Richard Pawson's work on Naked Objects ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_objects ). It allows Object Guild to rapidly develop flexible applications by focusing on the design of behaviorally complete objects in the business domain. By using a novel web application architecture based on CodeParadise ( https://github.com/ErikOnBike/CodeParadise ), it allows direct manipulation of business objects by the user. The goal of the framework is to better support problem solving activities and to empower users by giving them a first-person experience. The framework is currently in a (private) alpha phase of development. There are plans to open source the framework in the future. Jonathan has been developing business applications for various Dutch companies since 2001, in roles varying from programmer to solution architect. In 2018, he got hooked on Pharo/Smalltalk and never looked back. Erik has developed both technical as well as business applications in a variety of areas using a broad range of technologies. He’s been a Smalltalk addict since using VisualAge in the late 1990’s. This will be a hybrid meetup where we'll connect to Zoom from the The City Pride pub ( https://goo.gl/maps/gxiuohY8z5CvA7wr5 ). If you'd like to join us either via Zoom or in person, please sign up on the Meetup page ( https://www.meetup.com/UKSTUG/events/285546604/ ).

IWST22 — International Workshop on Smalltalk Technologies

by Vincent Aranega

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. Let’s do the 2022 edition conformed to this legacy! https://esug.github.io/2022-Conference/cfpIWST2022.html Vincent Aranega Loïc Lagadec
