Smalltalks 2011 Call for Papers
The 5th International Conference on Smalltalk Technologies will be at the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes in Argentina on November 3 – 5, 2011.
The Smalltalks series of conferences (www.fast.org.ar) is a lively forum on Smalltalk-based software technologies that brings together more than 200 people from both academia and industry for a period of three days.
Past editions of Smalltalks have included many high-quality presentations from industry and research. These contributions have shown interesting applications of Smalltalk, advances in the Smalltalk language, didactic uses of Smalltalk and so on.
Similar to last year, Smalltalks 2011 will include a dedicated research track. We welcome submissions to this research track presenting original scientific contributions to, or using, Smalltalk in general.
Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
- Aspects, Aspect Languages and Applications
- Ambient Intelligence, Ubiquitous/Pervasive Computing and Embedded Systems
- Compilation Technology, Optimization, Virtual Machines
- Educational Material
