ESUGThe document discusses the Pomodoro technique, which is a time management method that uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. It involves focusing exclusively on a single task until the timer expires, then taking a short break before starting the next interval. Using this technique can help people train themselves to focus, control multitasking and interruptions, and get tedious tasks completed more efficiently.

LOOP
This document discusses a programming environment called Loop that is designed to support a prototype-based introduction to object-oriented programming (OOP) for students who have only previously learned structured programming. Loop aims to ease the paradigm shift by starting with a custom environment that delays introducing classes and inheritance, instead focusing on messages, objects, and their interactions through a live object diagram and explicit differentiation between objects and references.

The IT Philharmonic - OSCON 2010
The document discusses the concept of the "IT Philharmonic" which is meant to describe how high performing IT organizations function like a symphony orchestra. It notes that while both high and low performing organizations may utilize similar tools and practices, high performers have a culture where all parts of IT see themselves as part of a cohesive whole working towards shared goals. This is achieved through breaking down silos between roles, coordinating work across the entire lifecycle, and having leadership take on a "conductor" role to bridge differences and seek out bottlenecks.

Workshop: Identifying concept inventories in agile programming
This document discusses the development of a concept inventory to identify common misconceptions in agile programming and object-oriented development. The project aims to strengthen collaboration between INRIA/Lille and ÉTS/UQAM by creating a concept inventory that can be used to improve teaching of agile development with object-oriented languages like TypeScript, JavaScript, and Pharo. The methodology involves identifying misconceptions, proposing a concept inventory, and validating it in courses by measuring understanding before and after instruction. A workshop will help identify initial misconceptions in Smalltalk/Pharo by capturing them in a collaborative tool.
Technical documentation support in Pharo
This document proposes integrating documentation into the Pharo language metamodel and environment to improve documentation support. It suggests making documentation first-class citizens in Pharo by providing built-in support and a minimal API, which would allow tight integration with development tools and future extensions without requiring grammar changes or large efforts. This could improve documentation quality by enabling direct references between code and documentation and automatic logging of documentation usage.
The Pharo Debugger and Debugging tools: Advances and Roadmap
This document outlines advances and the roadmap for debugging tools in Pharo. It discusses recent improvements to the debugging infrastructure, including architectural changes and new debugging commands. It also describes upcoming work, such as additional infrastructure improvements, an emergency debugger, support for meta-object protocols, a redesigned user experience, a remote debugger, and improved documentation. The document concludes by inviting participants to help evaluate new debugging experiments.
Sequence: Pipeline modelling in Pharo
The document describes Sequence, a pipeline modeling and discrete event simulation framework developed in Pharo Smalltalk. Sequence allows describing system resources, building blocks that use those resources, assembling scenarios from blocks, collecting information during simulated runs, and interactively exploring system traces. The framework implements a discrete event simulation engine with event streams that model periodic processes and resources. Sequence provides tools for evaluating system performance through simulation before complete hardware is available.
Migration process from monolithic to micro frontend architecture in mobile ap...
This document discusses migrating a monolithic mobile application called CARL Touch to a micro frontend architecture. It presents a migration process involving three steps: 1) analysis of the monolithic codebase, 2) identification of potential micro frontends, and 3) transformation of the codebase to implement the identified micro frontends. Previous experiments at Berger-Levrault involving two teams migrating CARL Touch provided insights. The proposed process uses static and dynamic analysis, code visualization and clustering techniques to help identify optimal micro frontends and transform the codebase in a semi-automated manner.
Analyzing Dart Language with Pharo: Report and early results
This document summarizes an analysis of the Dart programming language using tools in the Pharo environment. It describes generating a parser for Dart using SmaCC, which produces an AST. It also details defining a Famix meta-model for Dart and the Chartreuse-D importer that creates a FamixDart model from the AST. Future work is outlined, including improving SmaCCDart, continuing to develop the FamixDart meta-model, and handling dynamic types when importing associations. The goal is to analyze Dart and explore modeling Flutter applications.
Transpiling Pharo Classes to JS ECMAScript 5 versus ECMAScript 6
This document summarizes research on transpiling Pharo classes to JavaScript using ECMAScript 5 versus ECMAScript 6. It finds that transpiling to ES6 provides benefits like significantly faster load times, improved benchmark performance up to 43%, and more idiomatic code compared to ES5. However, fully emulating Smalltalk semantics like metaclass inheritance remains challenging when targeting JavaScript.
A Unit Test Metamodel for Test Generation
The document presents an approach for automated test generation from software models and execution traces. Key aspects of the approach include using metamodels to represent the codebase, values, and desired unit test structure. Models are built from the codebase and traces, then transformations are applied to generate unit tests conforming to the test metamodel. Abstract syntax trees are used to export the generated tests to code. The approach aims to generate tests that are relevant, readable and maintainable without relying on existing tests. An example demonstrates generating a JUnit test from an application class.
Creating Unit Tests Using Genetic Programming
Genetic programming is used to generate unit tests by evolving test code via genetic algorithms to maximize coverage. Tests are represented as chromosomes of object and message statements. The genetic algorithm selects tests based on coverage, combines tests through crossover, and replaces tests in the population over generations to find optimal test sequences. Future work includes improving path exploration and comparing with other test generation tools.
Threaded-Execution and CPS Provide Smooth Switching Between Execution Modes
Threaded execution and continuation-passing style (CPS) allow for smooth switching between execution modes in Zag Smalltalk. Threaded execution interprets code as a sequence of addresses like bytecode but is 2.3-4.7 times faster, while CPS passes continuations explicitly like in functional languages and is 3-5 times faster than bytecode. Both approaches allow fallback to debugging. The implementation shares context and stack between modes to easily switch with proper object structures.
Exploring GitHub Actions through EGAD: An Experience Report
This document summarizes an experience report on exploring GitHub Actions through EGAD, a tool for GitHub Action analysis. It discusses three key lessons learned: 1) Composing a story by documenting tasks and linking documentation to code, 2) Navigating custom views to conduct research, and 3) Supporting onboarding of researchers by assigning mentors, scheduling meetings, and encouraging use of resources. EGAD takes workflow YAML files, wraps them in a domain model to provide context, and allows inspecting examples to fully explore the GitHub Actions domain model.
Pharo: a reflective language A first systematic analysis of reflective APIs
This document analyzes the reflective features and APIs in Pharo, a reflective programming language. It presents a catalog of Pharo's reflective APIs and analyzes how they relate to metaobjects. The analysis highlights areas for potential improvement, such as providing solutions for intercession on state reads/writes and addressing constraints when changing an object's class. The document contributes to understanding Pharo's reflective design and its evolution over time.
Garbage Collector Tuning
The document discusses garbage collector tuning for applications with pathological allocation patterns. It begins by explaining the motivation and issues caused by pathological patterns, such as applications taking over an hour and a half to run. It then provides an overview of garbage collection and how allocation patterns can impact performance. The document dives into two specific tuning techniques - increasing the full GC threshold to prevent premature full GCs from being triggered, and increasing the tenuring threshold to avoid large objects residing in the remembered set and slowing down scavenges. These tunings resulted in significant performance improvements for the sample DataFrame application, reducing the run time from over an hour and a half to around seven minutes.

Improving Performance Through Object Lifetime Profiling: the DataFrame Case
This document discusses improving garbage collection performance in Pharo through object lifetime profiling. It presents Illimani, a lifetime profiler developed for Pharo. Illimani was used to profile the lifetimes of objects created when loading a large DataFrame. The profiling revealed that most objects had short lifetimes, suggesting the garbage collector could be tuned. Tuning the garbage collector parameters based on the lifetime profiles improved the performance of loading the DataFrame.
Pharo DataFrame: Past, Present, and Future
This document discusses the past, present, and future of Pharo DataFrames. It began as a student project but has evolved into a mature project with dedicated engineers, improving performance and adding functionality. Future plans include further performance enhancements, adding more functionality, better integration with other Pharo projects, and support for big data. Evaluation of DataFrames is also planned.
thisContext in the Debugger
This document discusses issues with thisContext in the Pharo debugger not correctly representing the execution context and being the DoIt context instead. This was fixed in Pharo12 by making thisContext a variable object that is wrapped in a DoItVariable, so the debugger context is used. When inspecting or doing DoIt, the doIt Variable is pushed and read to provide the proper execution context.

A New Architecture Reconciling Refactorings and Transformations
This document discusses reconciling refactorings and transformations in software engineering. It proposes a new architecture where refactorings decorate transformations by checking preconditions and composing multiple transformations. Refactorings ensure transformations are applied safely while transformations focus on model changes. Open questions remain around precondition handling and composition semantics. The goals are to reduce duplication, support custom refactorings/transformations, and provide a modern driver-based user interface.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.

"NATO Hackathon Winner: AI-Powered Drug Search", Taras Kloba
This is a session that details how PostgreSQL's features and Azure AI Services can be effectively used to significantly enhance the search functionality in any application.
In this session, we'll share insights on how we used PostgreSQL to facilitate precise searches across multiple fields in our mobile application. The techniques include using LIKE and ILIKE operators and integrating a trigram-based search to handle potential misspellings, thereby increasing the search accuracy.
We'll also discuss how the azure_ai extension on PostgreSQL databases in Azure and Azure AI Services were utilized to create vectors from user input, a feature beneficial when users wish to find specific items based on text prompts. While our application's case study involves a drug search, the techniques and principles shared in this session can be adapted to improve search functionality in a wide range of applications. Join us to learn how PostgreSQL and Azure AI can be harnessed to enhance your application's search capability.

QR Secure: A Hybrid Approach Using Machine Learning and Security Validation Functions to Prevent Interaction with Malicious QR Codes.
Aim of the Study: The goal of this research was to develop a robust hybrid approach for identifying malicious and insecure URLs derived from QR codes, ensuring safe interactions.
This is achieved through:
Machine Learning Model: Predicts the likelihood of a URL being malicious.
Security Validation Functions: Ensures the derived URL has a valid certificate and proper URL format.
This innovative blend of technology aims to enhance cybersecurity measures and protect users from potential threats hidden within QR codes 🖥 🔒
This study was my first introduction to using ML which has shown me the immense potential of ML in creating more secure digital environments!

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
