-- 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 May 15-16, 2008 at the Hasso-Plattner-Institute in 
Potsdam, Germany. 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.
