"Every thing has its own flow"
Dear CHOOSE Members,
You are kindly invited to attend the following presentation.
Speaker: Alejandro Infante, University of Chile
Title: Identifying Shareable Objects
Abstract: We propose a new dynamic analysis technique for identifying objects that have equivalent behavior, and therefore, can be shared to reduce the memory consumption of the application. Some preliminary results show that sharing the equivalent objects of an application can reduce the number of objects created from 5% to 29%.
Date and time: Tuesday February 24 at 10h30.
Location: University of Bern, Institute of Computer Science, Schützenmattstrasse 14, seminar room 107.
http://scg.unibe.ch/contact/maps
Mr Infante has been visiting the Software Composition Group for the past 6 weeks under a CHOOSE Student Mobility Grant.
http://choose.s-i.ch/sponsorships
This presentation will summarize the work Mr Infante has done during his visit and will take place during the weekly Software Composition Seminar.
IMPORTANT: As space is limited, please contact me if you plan to attend.
Kind regards,
Oscar Nierstrasz

Dear all,
It is my pleasure to announce an invited talk and a half-day tutorial at
the University of Bern. Stefan Marr of INRIA Lille, will talk about
techniques to implement new languages with simplicity and performance in
mind.
Specifically there are two events to announce:
-
Talk: Building High-Performance Language Implementations With Low Effort.
Mon, Dec 1st, 17.15 - 18.15. In this talk, Stefan will give a high-level
overview of self-optimizing interpreters and the underlying infrastructures
to create efficient implementations for programming languages.
-
Hands-On Tutorial: Self-Optimizing Interpreters for RPython and Truffle,
Tue, Dec. 2nd, @ 13:15. In this tutorial, we are going to experiment with
Truffle, a Java framework for fast interpreters, and RPython, the toolchain
behind PyPy, a fast Python implementation. In addition to hands-on
experience with the ideas behind self-optimizing interpreters, you will see
some of the available tools that enable you to understand and optimize your
language implementations.
The events are sponsored by CHOOSE a subgroup of the Swiss Informatics
Society and hosted by the Software Composition Group at the University of
Bern. They are primarily organized for CHOOSE and SI members, but the
events will be open for the participation of other students and
professionals.
To participate, please RSVP here:

PLACE:
IAM, Schützenmattstrasse 14, Room 107 (http://scg.unibe.ch/contact)
SPEAKER:
Stefan Marr is working at Inria France, Lille. His field of research is
programming language implementation techniques with a focus on concurrent
and parallel programming. In his dissertation he proposed an
ownership-based meta-object protocol as a unifying substrate for
concurrency support in multi-language VMs.
Dear members of CHOOSE,
We are happy to invite you to participate to the one-day course held on
November 27 at the University of Bern on the topic of "Working Effectively
with Legacy Code" by Michael Feathers. The course is organized the day
before the main CHOOSE Forum.
Michael Feathers is the well known author of the "Working Effectively with
Legacy Code" book.
Early bird costs (until November 3):
- CHOOSE, JUGS, SI member: 550 CHF
- Non-member: 650 CHF
- Student: 60 CHF
You can find more information, including the registration form at:
http://choose.s-i.ch/events/michael-feathers-2014
NOTE:
This course will be organized if it reaches a critical mass of 15
non-student participants. If there will not be enough participants, the
course can be cancelled. The notification will follow in the first half of
November. For questions, please contact tudor(a)tudorgirba.com.

===========================================================
6th Workshop on Software Ecosystems (IWSECO)
http://iwseco.org/
2nd International Workshop on Ecosystem Architectures (WEA)
http://wea.github.com
Co-located with the European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA)
University of Vienna, Austria,
August 25 - 29, 2014
===========================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS
The creation and adoption of software ecosystems is becoming increasingly
pervasive, leading to new research and management challenges and
opportunities. Several companies are platformizing successful products and
opening these products up for outside innovation where customers expect to
be actively involved in the shaping of the technology they use. This also
leads to new opportunities and challenges regarding new business models,
open innovation, collaborative development, strategic planning, and
coordination of multiple platforms. IWSECO and WEA aim to further increase
the body of knowledge in software ecosystems by providing a forum to
exchange ideas and discuss the most recent innovations, trends and
experiences in the field. It aims to build and shape the community of
leading practitioners and research experts by providing a forum for the
exchange of research results and industrial practice in software ecosystems.
By co-locating both, IWSECO and WEA we aim at attracting and involving
interested participants from the software engineering community in an early
stage of shaping software ecosystem research and community building. The
co-located workshops will be a venue for practitioners and researchers to
share experience and lessons learned; with a particular focus on
architecture, as the ecosystem architecture can actually determine the
success or failure of software ecosystems as a whole.
RELEVANT TOPICS
We invite the submission of high quality research and industrial papers
describing original and unpublished results in the field of software and
business ecosystems. Topics of interest include, but are certainly not
limited to:
- Business cases, economics, strategies and governance for software
ecosystems
- Experience reports on best practices in ecosystem design,modeling and
architectures
- Evolution and lifecycle issues of software ecosystems
- Tools for inter-system static and/or dynamic analysis, visualization, and
monitoring
- Empirical studies of ecosystem phenomena (lifecycle, evolution,
architectures)
- Working Processes for evolving software ecosystems and community
management
SUBMISSIONS
We welcome both research and industry papers. They must be original and not
submitted to or accepted by any other workshop, conference or journal.
Submissions must follow the ACM SIG Proceedings Style, 2-column and should
not exceed 6 pages. Templates can be downloaded at
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates.
Papers should be submitted in electronic form (PDF) using EasyChair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwsecowea2014.
All accepted papers will be published in the ACM digital library.
IMPORTANT DATES
Paper Submission: June 6, 2014
