*** Workshop on Self-sustaining Systems (S3) 2010 ***

September 27-28, 2010
The University of Tokyo, Japan
http://www.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/swa/s3/s3-10/

In cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN

=== 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 September 27-28, 2010 at The University of  
Tokyo, Japan. 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.

--- 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 ACM Digital Library.

Papers should be submitted electronically via EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=s32010 
 in PDF format. Submissions must be written in English (the official  
language of the workshop) and must not exceed 10 pages. They should  
use the ACM SIGPLAN 10 point format, templates for which are available  
at http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm.
