Hello,

I know, this is slightly uncommmon in the Ruby community, but there  
are so many Ruby implementations out there and I am sure, somebody is  
interested in the topic. That is why I forward this call for papers to  
this list.

If this is the wrong place, I am sorry and will be happy, if someone  
points me to the correct one.

Cheers,

Gregor Schmidt

[Call for Papers]

\*\*\* Workshop on Self-sustaining Systems (S3) 2008 \*\*\*

May 15-16, 2008  
Potsdam, Germany  
[http://www.swa.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/s3/](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  
[Log in to EasyChair for S3](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 at
