First Tests of a Helper Robot in a Shopping Mall
First experiments of a helper robot for shopping mall as announced in the 2013 edition of the European Smalltalk Users Group conference. This robot is developped using the PhaROS client of the ROS middleware.
PhaROS: Towards Live Environments in Robotics
The document discusses PhaROS, a framework for robotic behavior development based on the Robot Operating System (ROS) architecture. PhaROS aims to provide high-level abstractions to ROS and make it easier to program robots for tasks like navigation in unknown environments. It introduces concepts like nodes, topics, and services from ROS. PhaROS includes tools like a command line interface for installing, creating, and distributing robot software packages. Examples of implementations using PhaROS include drivers for robots and localization algorithms.
Talking to Robots with Pharo
In this presentation we will give an overview of we have been developing in Pharo for building robotics applications:
-PhaROS
Towards Live Programming in ROS with PhaROS and LRP
The document proposes a live programming approach for the Robot Operating System (ROS) using PhaROS and LRP. It identifies limitations of ROS for live programming like static launch files and lack of hot code swapping. The approach integrates a domain specific language for hierarchical state machines called LRP with PhaROS, a ROS client for the Pharo programming language. This allows ROS nodes to be developed in Pharo and everything to happen at runtime, enabling live parameter changes, code updates, and connection changes for ROS applications. Examples of using this approach include a robot that stops on obstacles and an obstacle avoider behavior.

2) Serialize the object graph
3) Create and associate proxies
4) Replace original objects with proxies
The document proposes an application-level virtual memory system for object-oriented programs. It works by swapping out unused object graphs to secondary storage and replacing them with proxy objects in primary memory. When a proxy is accessed, its corresponding graph is swapped back in from secondary storage. Key aspects include assigning graph IDs, serializing graphs, creating associated proxy objects, and replacing original objects with proxies during swap out.

PharoJS - Zürich Smalltalk Group Meetup November 2023
The document announces a Smalltalk meetup happening on November 10th 2023 that will feature a talk about PharoJS, a framework that allows developers to write code in Pharo and run it on JavaScript. PharoJS provides a transpiler to convert Pharo code to JavaScript, libraries to extend JavaScript objects with Pharo behaviors, and tools like a playground and inspector for JavaScript objects. Examples of projects using PharoJS include mobile apps built with HTML/CSS and web apps like PLC3000.com which has over 1000 tests and classes for its client and server code.
PharoJS for Real World Applications
PharoJS dates back to 2015. True to Pharo's philosophy, it was started to build real world software.
Actually, the initial motivation behind PharoJS was building mobile applications based Web technologies using Cordova (formaly PhoneGap).
This means that for production, Pharo code is transpiled to Javascript to benefit from JS's portability and speed.
But, for development, we wanted to benefit from Pharo's unique set of features and IDE.
To do so, PharoJS provides a framework and a toolset that supports integrating Pharo code with third-party JS libraries.
It also enables testing and debugging applications running on a JS interpreter.
We'll discuss these features, and how they were successfully used to produce real world software.
Client-Server Development with PharoJS
The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of a new drug on memory and cognitive function in older adults. The double-blind study involved giving either the new drug or a placebo to 100 volunteers aged 65-80 over a 6 month period. Testing showed those receiving the drug experienced statistically significant improvements in short-term memory retention and processing speed compared to the placebo group.
ALPAGA : An AeriaL Platform for sampling Atmospheric Gases and Aerosols
The ALPAGA project proposes the construction of an AeriaL Platform for sampling Atmospheric Gases and Aerosols. It involves a drone-based solution to make 3 dimensional maps of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and aerosol particles. Such atmospheric species have well-documented impacts on both health, leading to millions of premature deaths yearly, and climate, nowadays estimated to compensate (at least for aerosols) some of the greenhouse gas effect.
We present the current status of the architecture we have been developing as part of the ALPAGA project. The solution under development involves both hardware and software parts, built on top of a commercial DJI M600 Pro hexarotor drone. On the hardware side we are building a nacelle that will store air samples in containers carried by the drone. Using a Raspberry-pi running ROS, we remotely control a vacuum suction pump to suck air into inert teflon bags. We discuss challenges we have faced so far, solutions we have implemented, and how we plan to automate map construction by geolocalizing samples collected at different locations.
PharoJS ESUG 2019 Update
PharoJS allows developing applications in Pharo that run on JavaScript. It has been ported to Pharo 7 and has over 300 commits on GitHub. The project aims to improve stability, add mobile app tutorials, better integrate third party JS libraries, and fix bugs. Within a year they plan to rebuild the middleware, improve WebSocket support, add more mobile apps, and explore integration with Seaside, desktop apps, and porting to other platforms. Collaborators are welcome on GitHub, their website, Slack, and Twitter.
UbiquiTalk - An Infrastructure for Ubiquitous Computing (ESUG 2006)
These slides were presented at the 14th International Smalltalk Conference, organized by the European Smalltalk Users Group (ESUG). Prague, Czech Republic, 2006.
--- Abstract
UbiquiTalk is an open P2P platform that supports automatic peer interaction without requiring any infrastructure or prior knowledge on interacting peers. Hence, UbiquiTalk can be used either within a network infrastructure or an adhoc network (e.g. Wifi).
Each UbiquiTalk peer, named "host", can act either as a service provider or as a client or both. Users are provided an administration graphical interface to customize their respective hosts, and choose to export or import some services or none. The client part of UbiquiTalk GUI allows user to watch host detection and disappearing. Moreover, it allows users to use some service provided by a particular host. Currently, we have two GUIs one for PDAs and the other for laptops and desktop computers.
UbiquiTalk has been implemented on top of Squeak. It relies on rST (Remote Smalltalk) for remote message sending. Regarding host discovery, We used IP Group Multicast. Therefore, UbiquiTalk can be used through the Internet.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
