Dear all,

Good news, both our proposed talks are accepted:

Rob Rothwell
Why Smalltalk? A Healthcare Perspective on Creating Internal Domain 
Specific Languages
June 20, 2008 3:30 pm - 4:15 pm

The current challenge facing Healthcare is not so much a clinical 
problem; rather, the challenge is a business problem. As an industry, 
Healthcare stands far behind its counterpart’s ability to retrieve and 
report clinical and business data for a multitude of reasons.

This presentation will use this extra-ordinary setting to explore some 
of the ways in which Smalltalk is well suited to create an internal 
Domain Specific Language (DSL) that can enable Healthcare organizations 
to overcome the following obstacles:

• Minimal development staff
• Constantly changing reporting requirements
• Technically challenged workforce

Finally, we will discuss the emergence of the excellent tools available 
(such as Squeak and Aida) which makes the creation of such DSL’s 
possible for ordinary programmers willing to take the plunge.

AIDA/Scribo, a powerful CMS at your fingertips!
June 21, 2008 9:15 am - 10:00 am

AIDA/Scribo is a light-weight but full featured Content Management 
System, with CMS core and blog, forum, wiki, sites, and RSS plugins. 
Scribo follows Aida philosophy, so it is very easy to use, understand 
and extend. Scribo runs on top of AIDA/Web, an opensource Smalltalk web 
framework, which allows to write rich, complex but easily maintainable 
web applications without a fuss. Presentation will show design goals, 
architecture, concrete examples and future plans for both AIDA/Web and 
Scribo.


So, we will be very well represented on Smalltalk Solution this year. 
Thanks again Rob and Michael for your initiative!

Janko
