The Workshop on Self-sustaining Systems (S3) is a forum for the
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 onsmall but powerfulabstractions;examples
include (amongst others) Squeak/Smalltalk, COLA, Klein/Self,
PyPy/Python, Rubinius/Ruby,
andLisp.Suchsystemsaretheenginesoftheirownreplacement, giving
researchers and developers great power to experiment with, and
explore future directions from within, their own small language
kernels. S3 took place on May 15-16, 2008 at the
Hasso-Plattner-Institute (HPI) in Potsdam, Germany. It was an
exciting opportunity for researchers and prac- tioners interested
in self-sustaining systems to meet and share their knowledge,
experience, and ideas for future research and development. S3
provided an - portunity for a community to gather and discuss the
need for self-sustainability in software systems, and to share and
explore thoughts on why such systems are needed and how they can be
created and deployed. Analogies were made, for example, with
evolutionary cycles, and with urban design and the subsequent
inevitable socially-driven change.
TheS3participantsleftwithagreatersenseofcommunityandanenthusiasm
for probing more deeply into this subject. We see the need for
self-sustaining systems becoming critical not only to the
developer's community, but to e- users in business, academia,
learning and play, and so we hope that this S3 workshop will become
the ?rst of many.
