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.
-        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.
