Modern and Future Smalltalk
by Dennis Schetinin April 1, 2013

April 1, 2013

Hello, I'm preparing a report for a small local conference on the "Internet Technologies". I would like to present some current Smalltalk trends in this area. First of all, I'm thinking of Pharo efforts in conjunction web frameworks like Seaside, AIDA/Web, Illiad. Certainly I'll talk about Amber and hopefully there'll be a special report on it. I'll mention GemStone. What else should I talk about? -- Best regards, Dennis Schetinin

Hello Dennis, In terms of current Smalltalk trends related to Internet Technologies, may I suggest our on-going work on "service streaming environments" as exposed here (cf. page 359): http://www.aal-europe.eu/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Proceedings_AAL_Forum_2… It's Smalltalk implementation has been subject to a publication entitled "Web Pontoon: a method for reflective web applications" and available at: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1942791&dl=ACM&coll=DL A related piece of work, which focuses on a framework for dynamic service orchestration in cyber-physical systems, may be found here: http://osl.cs.uiuc.edu/publications/conf/birthday/MechitovA12.html Which builds upon Smalltalk-mediated joint research as for example reported in: http://osl.cs.uiuc.edu/publications/aitami07.html http://osl.cs.uiuc.edu/publications/ios07.html More on this work may be found at: http://adaptiveobjectmodel.com/writings/ http://www.rezarazavi.com/about/cv/publications/ Best regards, Reza Razavi http://www.linkedin.com/in/razavi > On April 1, 2013 at 5:43 AM Dennis Schetinin <chaetal(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello, > > I'm preparing a report for a small local conference on the "Internet > Technologies".

Postdoc position in Santiago
by Alexandre Bergel March 30, 2013

March 30, 2013

Dear Friends and Colleagues, The Chilean research agency will soon open its postdoc program. Doctors in Computer Science who want to get a rich experience are encouraged to apply. Working at the DCC: ************************ The position will have to be carried out at the DCC, University of Chile. No teaching duty is expected from you. Research topics are broad: Testing, Code execution profiling, Visualization, programming languages, Domain Specific Languages, Programming environments, Modeling, Smalltalk, .... Yes, we are open minded people :-) The postdoc will be inserted in the Pleiad laboratory, meaning she/he will have to interact with our PhD students, help us to guide smart students and engineers, eat chocolate with us. Mini FAQ: ************************ - Do I need to know Spanish to apply? No, knowing Spanish is not mandatory at all. Thanks to the Chilean friendliness, even with a deeply broken Spanish coupled with a heavy accent you will have no problem to integrate. - How long this position is for? You can stay with us up to 3 years with this position. The DCC is growing, meaning there is perspective to get a permanent position (Assistant Professor). - How often can I expect to return home? This essentially depends on your productivity. Santiago is only 1 night away from Paris: board-in, eat, sleep, board-out, welcome home. - What does it mean to live in Santiago? If you like sun, fresh fruits, (very) friendly people, high mountains, glaciers, nature, good wine, sushis, exotic places, ... then you will feel happy. Contact: ************************ If you have questions, then you can directly contact the author of this email (http://bergel.eu) or meet us at esug, stic, ecoop, esec/fse Links: ************************ http://www.conicyt.cl/fondecyt/2013/03/15/concurso-postdoctorado-2014/ http://pleiad.cl http://objectprofile.com http://bergel.eu -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;.

GSoC deadline passed, record number of ideas collected
by Janko Mivšek March 29, 2013

March 29, 2013

Dear Smalltalkers, Serge and me just submitted the application for the GSoC (see its copy here: http://gsoc2013.esug.org/application) now let we wait finger crossed to the Monday 8.April when accepted organizations will be announced. But we have a good chance thanks to all of you spend a time to prepare the record number of ideas: 44, which is way over last year 25! Note also that you can still propose an project idea, there is two more weeks or so for that, but we need a solid list of ideas at that time for Google guys to see what we are really capable :) While idea authors please recheck that your idea is properly put on http://gsoc2013.esug.org/ideas. For any mistake I apologize in advance! Thanks therefore again to all, now a week and so a rest! Best regards Serge and Janko your GSoC admin team -- Janko Mivšek Smalltalk GSoC Admin Team http://gsoc2013.esug.org

GSoC13: Google Summer of Code started, your ideas please!
by Janko Mivšek March 27, 2013

March 27, 2013

Dear Smalltalkers, Time for your cool project ideas on this year Smalltalk GSoC! For now just express any idea you have here on the mailing list. Later we will together develop it to be in complete format together with two mentors needed. Deadline is end of Mart, so we have three weeks of time. To see how fully developed ideas look like please look at 2012 ones at: http://gsoc2012.esug.org/ideas. Note also that students yourselves can propose a GSoC project. So if you like to be a student on this year GSoC and have a nice idea, don't be shy and propose it here! The community will listen you and guide to the really nicely proposed project. Last year 6 student proposed projects were accepted and finished successfully! For the community, start looking around for students. Think about how to approach the universities near by you, do you know who to contact there, etc. We are namely preparing an application to this year Smalltalk Google Summer of Code under ESUG umbrella, as last year. If accepted, Google will pay few stipendiums to students on our Smalltalk projects. More on our special Smalltalk GSoC 2013 website: http://gsoc2013.esug.org I'm specially inviting mentors of all past GSoCs to rejoin the mentors mailing list, where we discuss all details about this year GSoC: http://groups.google.com/group/smalltalk-gsoc-mentors While students interested on GSoC please join a special Smalltalk GSoC mailing list for you: http://groups.google.com/group/smalltalk-gsoc-students Best regards Janko -- Janko Mivšek Smalltalk GSoC Admin Team http://gsoc2013.esug.org

These tool give for each process the amount of CPU and memory it consumes. Unfortunately, Smalltalk does not have such a tool. Pharo and VisualWorks offers the process browser, which is a rather primitive. No indication about the resource consumption is given. A first prototype has been proposed (Loom http://objectprofile.com/#/pages/products/loom/overview.html) however it currently works on VisualWorks and offers a rather sluggish user interface. > > This project is about offering a reliable tool to monitor the resource consumption of the running threads.
