Smalltalk is considered as a design pearl and as a beacon in the realm of programming languages and programming environments. We are proud to invite submissions to the International Workshop on Smalltalk Technologies which is held as part of the ESUG 2009 joint event at Universiy of Brest. The goals of the workshop is to create a forum around advances or experience in Smalltalk. We welcome contributions on all aspects, theoretical as well as practical, of Smalltalk related topics such as:

-aspect-oriented programming,
-meta-programming,
-frameworks,
-interaction with other languages,
-implementation,
-new dialects or languages implemented in Smalltalk,
-tools,
-meta-modeling,
-design patterns,
-experience reports

The goal of this workshop is to trigger discussion and exchanges ideas. Participants are invited to submit short and not-so short article. We will not enforce any length restriction, however we expect papers to range from 4 pages (short papers describing emerging ideas) to 15 pages (longer and deeper ideas and/or experiment description.
