In the past three years the Smalltalks series of conferences
(www.fast.org.ar) have been a lively forum on Smalltalk-based software
technologies that attracted over more than 200 people from both academia
and industry for three days.

 

During the first three conferences, the industrial partners showed the
applicability of Smalltalk in business, while researches (both students
and professors) showed their advances and didactic uses of Smalltalk.
The presented approaches and methodologies concerned the language, its
implementation  technology, its programming tools as well as the
software development culture it supports.

 

This year the accepted papers not only will be available in the website
but also the best ranked ones will be published in a special edition of
Elsevier COMLAN Journal. Thus, we invite to submit papers in the
research track on original scientific research conducted in and/or for
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.
•        Language Engineering, Extensions.
•        Model Driven Engineering / Development.
•        Meta-Modeling, Reflection and Meta-programming.
•        Programming in the Large, Design, Architectures and Components.
•        Programming Environments, Browsers, User Interfaces, UI Frameworks.
•        Reasoning About Code (Analysis, Refactoring, Type Inference,
Metrics).
•        Team Management.
•        Testing, Extreme Programming / Practices.
•        Web Services, Internet Applications, Event-driven Programming.
•        Experience Reports.
