Thank You and Good Bye, afterwards Lunch

During the conference there will be the opportunity to Meet the Experts in a seperate room to discuss the presented items - or other - more in detail.

In the Customer Advisory Board sessions you'll have the opportunity to tell in public our product, support and engineering management what you think we should add or enhance in our product and services offering to meet your specific needs. This information will flow into our plannings for the further direction of Cincom Smalltalk.

We will not only serve food for the brain: during the Coffee Breaks you'll get refreshments and we'll invite you to Lunch and Dinner. During these times you'll have the  opportunity to talk to Cincomers in a relaxed casual athmosphere. And of course you'll be able to exchange your experiences, opinions, questions and solutions also with other users of Cincom Smalltalk.

Topics of general interest

Talks:

Cincom and Cincom Smalltalk: Commitment and Progress, Dave Wood (Cincom Systems)
In his presentation Dave Wood, Managing Director of Cincom EMEA, will present the history of the company Cincom and our mission and business ethics. While our whole industry has been suffering from the burst of the ".com bubble" and the various incidents of world wide politics and economics Cincom and Cincom users have been able to continously draw increased benefits from Cincom's High Value, Low Cost, Rapid ROI and Low Risk solutions. Dave Wood will describe Cincom's market strategy and which important role Cincom Smalltalk plays in Cincom's offering portfolio.

Cincom Smalltalk Product Roadmap, James R. Robertson (Cincom Systems)
I'll be talking about the roadmap for Cincom Smalltalk - where we are, what we are working on, and what we plan to support in the near-medium term.

Building Web Applications in Smalltalk, Alan Knight (Cincom Systems)
The VisualWorks Web Toolkit is a standards-based mechanism for building and serving web applications. Implementing mechanisms compatible with servlets,
ASP, and JSP, it makes it easy to build scalable web applications leveraging standard industry patterns, and in ways compatible with other servers. This talk will describe the basic architecture of the Web Toolkit, and some tips for working successfully with it, recent additions, and future plans.

ObjectStudio Opentalk, Len Lutomski (Cincom Systems), Andreas Hiltner (Cincom Systems)
VisualWorks and ObjectStudio each have their own advantages, but until now it has been difficult to use them together. That has changed.  Cincom has ported Opentalk-STST, VisualWorks' Smalltalk-to-Smalltalk communication framework to ObjectStudio. Now, the two dialects of Cincom Smalltalk can interoperate.  This presentation introduces Opentalk-STST and the ObjectStudio port, provides a quick Opentalk-STST tutorial, and discusses the things you need to keep in mind when interoperating across Smalltalk dialects.

The VM Plugin Framework for VisualWorks, Sudhakar Krishnamachari (Cincom Systems)
The VM Plugin framework is used to develop higher-performance C implementations of algorithms or code sections for use as primitives dynamically loaded into the virtual machine. The major part of the development effort is in working at Smalltalk level coding to create all the methods that are finally exported as a C code file for compilation as a dll and relinking.

ObjectStudio on the Web using Opentalk and Web Toolkit, Mark Grinnell (Cincom Systems), Andreas Hiltner (Cincom Systems), Alan Knight (Cincom Systems), Len Lutomski (Cincom Systems)
The ability of ObjectStudio and VisualWorks to interoperate over Opentalk gives ObjectStudio users access to the whole range of web capabilities in VisualWorks. The possibilities range from giving an ObjectStudio application access to corporate data provided over web protocols, to providing Windows native widget clients for VisualWorks applications. In this presentation we demonstrate the design and the mechanics of a sample application which uses ObjectStudio and VisualWorks, interoperating over Opentalk-STST, to put an ObjectStudio application interface on the Web.

VisualWorks DotNetConnect: Bridging worlds, Andreas Tönne (Georg Heeg eK)
.NET is one of the emerging technologies that Smalltalk developers cannot ignore. Integrating Smalltalk applications with .NET-components will be a regular requirement in projects. The new VisualWorks component DotNetConnect allows a VisualWorks application to import .NET-Assemblies and use the contained types as Smalltalk classes in a transparent way. The talk shows on a small example how simple it is to use .NET-Assemblies even without knowing much about .NET itself. We also show the practical limitations and the future direction of development. DotNetConnect was developed for Cincom by Georg Heeg eK.

Next-Generation Database Mapping and Dialect Interoperability, Alan Knight (Cincom Systems)
Smalltalk has long been a leader in storing objects in databases. For relational databases, Object Studio's POF, and the VisualWorks ObjectLens were very early examples that were also very powerful and still in active use today. This talk describes efforts towards a next-generation database mapping library that can preserve high-level compatibility with these older systems, while greatly expanding on their capabilities. The core mapping engine for this is the open source GLORP library, which is portable across Smalltalk dialects. One of the things we have done is to map the Store database schema using this library. This enables a variety of tools which can work with Store data directly from other dialects, including Squeak, VisualAge, and ObjectStudio. We hope that this can serve as a mechanism for interoperability between dialects.

Support to the Rescue...oops...  Resolution, Kim Thomas (Cincom Systems)
This talk will cover
What's going on with my case?
1. Cincom's support response process.
2. Support levels and severity levels
3. Resource infrastructure

What's new about support?
1. Publishing resolutions
2. Cincom Smalltalk Customer news group as a support avenue
3. More information sharing, i.e. e-mail  announcements on available resolutions
4. Past staff expansion and development

What the future holds
1. Continuing to develop the support organization
a. Identify areas of expertise
b. Continue certificaton process
c. Development related activities
2. Reduce time to respond
3. Reduce time to resolution

Agile Project Management using SCRUM, Joseph Pelrine (MetaProg GmbH)
Agile software development methodlogies, XP being the most known one, are becoming more and more accepted. They take the different nature of software seriously and help delivering usable software to the needs of the customer on time and on budget. At the same time agile methodlogies minimize the risks and even if a project should be stopped for whatever reason the customer has not wasted his investment but owns a working system which operates to his specification up that time. But how would one control and manage projects using such methodlogies? In deed classical project management has typically still the "waterfall" in mind and isn't well suited at all. SCRUM is a proven project management methodlogy that fits nicely with agile processes - especially XP. We will show and explain the underlying principles and report from real life projects.

Performance Tuning of ObjectStudio applications, Mark Grinnell (Cincom Systems)

XPerience eXtreme Programming, Joseph Pelrine (MetaProg GmbH)
eXtreme Programming - the most widely known agile software development methodology - consists of a set of best practices that mutually support each other to reach the goal of a user centric reactive and lean development process. This talk will give an overview about these best practices and how they are supported in the IDE of Cincom Smalltalk VisualWorks. In a life demo it will especially be shown how easy and efficient it is to conduct the "test first" paradigm with the current SUnit implementation in the tool set.

Tips and Tricks for developing GUIs in ObjectStudio, Eduard Maydanik (Cincom Systems)
In my talk I will give you an overview about the current and upcoming features of the ObjectStudio GUI system. Especially you will hear - and see - about:
- what was fixed
- what is new
- how to use new features
- what you should and what you shouldn't do - and why!
- how to customize the default behavior of widgets

VisualWorks Tools and Pollock, Vassili Bykov (Cincom Systems)
Pollock is the new VisualWorks widget set, which recently has reached the Feature Set 1 stage. The most important widgets are implemented, though both interfaces and implementation are still being cleaned up, and no visual GUI builder is included. This presentation will outline the future path in making Pollock the default VisualWorks widget set and developing VisualWorks tools, as well as demonstrate both building applications using Pollock in its present state and various interesting features of the current VisualWorks tool set.

Multithreading in ObjectStudio, Andreas Hiltner (Cincom Systems)
We will discuss the design and implementation of multithreading in ObjectStudio. We will discuss some common situations where a multithreaded approach could improve an application, using examples of how to modify existing code to use a separate thread. We will explain the particular issues involved with doing GUI programming with threads, and accessing databases with threads.

Never mind the quality, feel the width!  64-bits and beyond..., Eliot Miranda (Cincom Systems)
Eliot will demo the new 64-bit implementation of VisualWorks and describe its key features, both existing and planned. He will also give brief overviews of some short to medium-term directions for VisualWorks such as AOStA, an adaptive optimization framework for VisualWorks and the Smalltalk Runtime Environment, a "scripting" focus.

The Future of ObjectStudio, Mark Grinnell (Cincom Systems), Andreas Hiltner (Cincom Systems), Helge Nowak (Cincom Systems)
Our research into possibilities for a next generation ObjectStudio has opened two major roads to the future: a radical approach by fitting ObjectStudio into Microsoft's .NET framework. Or a more evolutionary approach by continuing to enhance the current technology to gain more performance and robustness and at the same time increasing the collaboration with VisualWorks to make the server features of VisualWorks even more easily accessible from ObjectStudio. We will present the current state of the art of our research on this topic. Either way we go we are committed to implement your needs and keep any impact on your business as minimal as possible. We will be interested in your feedback.

ObjectStudio Unicode, Alexander Augustin (Georg Heeg eK)
ObjectStudio up to version 6.9.1 supports two eight bit character sets of the underlying Windows operating system: the default OEM and Windows character sets. In Western Europe these two character sets are Codepage 850 and Codepage 1252. Neither character set is capable of representing Cyrillic, Greek, Japanese or Chinese characters. Not even Czech characters like ? or Polish characters like ? can be represented. With the enlargement of the European Union and with companies acting globally ObjectStudio customers require support world wide languages. Following both international standards and Microsoft's direction Unicode support is the decision of choice.

ObjectStudio Unicode is a complete ObjectStudio development and execution System which uses Unicode characters instead of eight bit characters internally as well as for  input and output including database and file access, user input and display output. This includes support for all European languages as well as for Asian languages like Japanese, Korean and Chinese.

The presentation will deal with the differences between the Unicode and the non-Unicode versions of ObjectStudio as well as show additional features in the Unicode version and will give some examples on how the new features can be used.

The Value of Smalltalk: valuing and risk management in Smalltalk, Niall Ross
The Kapital system is key to JPMorgan Chase' leading position in the derivatives market (http://www.cincom.com/pdf/CS040819-1.pdf). Niall will present some specific examples of how features of Smalltalk feed into capabilities of the Kapital system that give business advantage.

Save your Investment: Re-Architecting existing Applications for SOA, Helge Nowak (Cincom Systems), Michel Bany (Cincom Systems)
A common pattern we meet in customer situations is that they have existing applications and someone (typical a manager...) wants "a Web solution" or "Web Services". Not only in the minds of non-technical people but indeed in reality there is a lot of business potential associated with these new architectures. So these are serious wishes. Is this the time to adopt a new technology? Ask yourself: what would I gain? What would I lose? Looking closer you'll see: you would gain costs and risks. And you lose the investment already made into your existing systems.

Isn't there a better way? We will show that you can save your investment. We will show that you can leverage the existing knowledge and expertise of your developers in both the technology and your business processes to adopt the new architectures. We will show that you can exploit the benefits from moving to these architectures much more rapidly and with much less risk.

The talk will explain the fundamental differences between the various software architectures from fat (or rich?) client to Service Oriented Architectures (SOA). We will depict how you can go a straight and even route from where you are to where you want to be. Don't worry, be happy: you got Cincom Smnalltalk!

Koramis SpecSheet: an intuitive Web Application for Electrical Engineers and how Smalltalk Saved me from an Error, Hans Peter Fichtner (Koramis GmbH & Co.KG)

VisualWaf: Web application development in the MVC style, Andreas Tönne (Georg Heeg eK)
We show how to develop web applications easily with VisualWaf. VisualWaf is an add-on for the WebToolkit with a powerful abstraction of Web idiosyncrasies but without breaking with the Web style of thinking in sites, pages and requests. It centers around a translation of the MVC-pattern to Web applications. This puts the Smalltalk programmer in the position to program like he would for a GUI application but still he can collaborate with Web-designers in the way they expect it. VisualWaf is used for years by Georg Heeg eK as a consulting tool in several customer projects in the banking, insurance and engineering domain. It is now marketed as a product.

Reusable Web Development With Seaside, Avi Bryant (beta4 productions), Michel Bany (Cincom Systems)
Seaside is a web application framework available for VisualWorks Smalltalk.  Featured in keynote presentations at both Smalltalk Solutions and the ESUG conference this year, Seaside has been praised for its innovative, radically object oriented approach to web development.  This talk will focus on how Seaside leverages Smalltalk's strengths to enable a level of reusability and maintainability in web applications that simply isn't possible using other technologies. We will also demonstrate Seaside's strong, unique integration with the VisualWorks development environment.

James R. Robertson, Cincom Smalltalk Product Manager, Cincom Systems, USA
As Cincom Smalltalk Product Manager, I am responsible for working with sales, engineering and marketing to drive the direction of VisualWorks and ObjectStudio. I got started in Smalltalk quite by accident in '93


the time. Booz-Allen had a training contract with ParcPlace, but had lost both of their instructors. I got picked because I had some teaching experience
no training experience, but some (about a year) Smalltalk experience, figuring that the two of us would figure it out.

I spent 9 months teaching for Booz Allen, but got lured over to ParcPlace


I spent almost two years teaching the intro class before I moved into sales
along, retaining my role as a sales engineer. After about a year, I moved up to Product Management, which is where I still am.
