Smalltalk Solutions 2008 is coming up fast - the schedule of events is here, and registration is here. There are a ton of great talks, like this one from Mark Petersen:

In today's complex, fast-paced business environment, users should not be bothered with manually submitting defect reports. Applications should automatically submit defect reports to a defect tracking application like ClearQuest or Bugzilla. This presentation showcases the development of Smalltalk web services to implement an SOA solution for integrating defect tracking and reporting in a distributed, multi-platform database application. We will discuss our approach to designing and implementing web services that can be easily invoked from any web service enabled application, including Smalltalk based applications. We will also discuss how these services allow issues to be quickly tracked, shared and routed across a large set of users, and how this methodology can easily be leveraged in many different application environments

Mark Petersen is a Senior Engineer at IBM's Semiconductor Research and Development Center, located in East Fishkill, NY. He has been using Smalltalk for over 10 years to support semiconductor characterization and testsite design.
