Subject: Workshop on Self-sustaining Systems (S3) 2008 -- Call for Papers


> [Call for Papers]
>

> -- 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
