*** Workshop on Self-sustaining Systems (S3) 2008 ***
May 15-16, 2008
Potsdam, Germany
http://www.swa.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/s3/
-- Call for papers:
The Workshop on Self-sustaining Systems (S3) is a forum for discussion
of topics relating to computer systems and languages that are able to
bootstrap, implement, modify, and maintain themselves. One property of
these systems is that their implementation is based on small but
powerful abstractions; examples include (amongst others) Squeak/
Smalltalk, COLA, Klein/Self, PyPy/Python, Rubinius/Ruby, and Lisp.
Such systems are the engines of their own replacement, giving
researchers and developers great power to experiment with, and explore
future directions from within, their own small language kernels.
S3 will be take place May 15-16, 2008 at the Hasso-Plattner-Institute
in Potsdam, Germany. It is an exciting opportunity for researchers and
practitioners interested in self-sustaining systems to meet and share
their knowledge, experience, and ideas for future research and
development.
-- Invited talk:
Ian Piumarta: Late-bound Object Lambda Architectures (Viewpoints
Research Institute, USA)
-- Submissions and proceedings:
S3 invites submissions of high-quality papers reporting original
research, or describing innovative contributions to, or experience
with, self-sustaining systems, their implementation, and their
application. Papers that depart significantly from established ideas
and practices are particularly welcome.
Submissions must not have been published previously and must not be
under review for any another refereed event or publication. The
program committee will evaluate each contributed paper based on its
relevance, significance, clarity, and originality. Revised papers will
be published as post-proceedings in the Springer LNCS series.
Papers should be submitted electronically via EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=s3
in PDF format. Submissions must be written in English (the official
language of the workshop) and must not exceed 20 pages. They should
use the LNCS format, templates for which are available athttp://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
.

Important Dates:
****************
* Submission of research papers: February 11, 2008
* Work-in-progress papers: March 24, 2008
* Author notification: April 7, 2008
* First final versions due: April 28, 2008
Accepted research papers will be invited for a special issue of the
Journal
of Universal Computer Science (J.UCS). See symposium website for more
details.
Scope:
******
The European Lisp Symposium 2008 invites high quality papers about novel
research results, insights and lessons learned from practical
applications,
and educational perspectives, all involving Lisp dialects, including
Common
Lisp, Scheme, ISLISP, Dylan, and so on.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
* Language design and implementation techniques
* Language integration, interoperation and deployment
* Experience reports and case studies
* Reflection and meta-level architectures
* Educational approaches
* Software adaptation and evolution
* Configuration management
* Artificial intelligence
* Large and ultra-large-scale systems
* Development methodologies
* Development support and environments
* Persistent systems
* Scientific computing
* Parallel and distributed computing
* Data mining
* Semantic web
* Dynamic optimization
* Innovative applications
* Hardware and virtual machine support
* Domain-oriented programming
We also encourage submissions about past approaches that have been
largely
forgotten about, as long as they are presented in a new setting.
We invite submissions in two categories:
original contributions and work-in-progress papers.
*** Original contributions have neither been published previously nor
are
under review by other refereed events or publications. Research papers
should
describe work that advances the current state of the art, or presents
old
results from a new perspective. Experience papers should be of broad
interest
and should describe insights gained from substantive practical
applications.
The program committee will evaluate each contributed paper based on its
relevance, significance, clarity, and originality.
Accepted papers will be published in the Journal of Universal Computer
Science
(J.UCS). Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work
at the
symposium main track in Bordeaux on May 23, 2008.
*** Work in progress describes ongoing work that is not ready for
publication
yet, but would benefit strongly from feedback by other researchers,
practitioners and educators. Such contributions will not be published
in the
symposium proceedings, but will be made available at the symposium
website.
The work-in-progress track will be organized as a series of writers'
workshops
where authors work together to improve their papers. Some authors who
submit
papers for the main track will be suggested to contribute their work
in this
track instead, if the program committee decides that their submission
is not
yet ready for a publication.
The writers' workshops will take place at the symposium in Bordeaux on
May 22, 2008.
Submissions:
************
Papers for the main track must be submitted electronically, preferably
as PDF
or PostScript file (level 1 or 2). However, submissions in RTF or Word
format
are also accepted. Initial submissions may not exceed 15 pages in the
J.UCS
style, including all appendices. (Invited papers for the journal
publication
will have a page limitation of 25 pages in the same format.) See the
symposium
website for more details, including about the submission procedure.
Papers for the work-in-progress track may be in PDF, PostScript level
1 or 2,
RTF or Word, and may not exceed 25 pages. There are no further
requirements on
their format. Papers for the work-in-progress track must be sent via
email to
pascal.costanza(a)vub.ac.be.
