IWST, standing for International Workshop on Smalltalk Technologies, is a European Smalltalk User Group (ESUG) Conference joint event.
IWST was launched in 2009, in Brest, during the 17th ESUG Conference. The second edition took place in Barcelona, the third edition in Edinburgh in 2011 and the fourth edition was held in 2012 at the heart of historic Ghent.
ESUG gathers groups of professionals and hobbyists who share an interest in the Smalltalk programming languages and related technologies.
IWST was set up from a will to distinguishing research activities - namelly academic creative work undertaken on smalltalk use, and more generally on object technologies - apart from the ESUG main event.
The goal of the workshop is to create a forum around advances or experience in Smalltalk. IWST contributes to triggering discussions and exchanges of ideas. Contributions are welcome on all aspects, theoretical as well as practical, of Smalltalk related topics.

Refactoring support for Smalltalk using static type inference
Refactoring is a crucial activity in agile software development. As a consequence, automated tools are expected to support refactoring, both for reducing the developer's effort as well as for avoiding errors due to manual changes. In this context, the ...
Spec: a framework for the specification and reuse of UIs and their models
Implementing UIs is often a tedious task. To address this, UI Builders have been proposed to support the description of widgets, their location, and their logic. A missing aspect of UI Builders is however the ability to reuse and compose widget logic. ...
Tracking down software changes responsible for performance loss
Continuous software change may inadvertently introduce a drop in performance at runtime. The longer the performance loss remains undiscovered, the harder it is to address. Current profilers do not efficiently support performance comparison across ...
Smalltalk in a C world
Smalltalk, in spite of myriad advantages in terms of ease of development, has been largely eclipsed by lower-level languages like C, which has become the lingua franca on modern systems. This paper introduces the Pragmatic Smalltalk compiler, which ...
On the integration of Smalltalk and Java: practical experience with STX:LIBJAVA
After decades of development in programming languages and programming environments, Smalltalk is still one of few environments that provide advanced features and is still widely used in the industry. However, as Java became prevalent, the ability to ...
