27th conference on Pattern Languages of Programs
Virtual and online this Fall – October 2020
https://www.hillside.net/plop/2020
Update: Submission date updated to July 12th!
The Pattern Languages of Programs conference is the premier event for pattern authors and enthusiasts to gather, discuss, and learn more about patterns, programming, and software development. The conference committee is currently working hard on the planning to ensure that PLoP remains a collaborative and engaging event with strong traditions. Running our Writer’s Workshops, Focus Groups, and games in an online setting creates new opportunities for the global patterns community to participate, and is enabling new elements in our program. We are looking forward to receiving your submissions and meeting you virtually this fall!
About PLoP
Software developers and researchers have long observed that certain themes recur and endure across different applications and different domains. In 1993 this emerging interest in software patterns and pattern languages resulted in an effort to document and communicate these themes and to provide handbooks of proven solutions to common problems. Thus, the PLoP (Pattern Languages of Programs) conference came into existence – a conference that is now entering its 27th year with PLoP 2020.
PLoP brings together practitioners and researchers whose interests span a broad range of topics who share an interest in exploring the power of the pattern form. While we began with only considering patterns of software, the conference has grown beyond its roots to include many other areas of pattern applicability, both inside and outside of software development. PLoP invites you to add your expertise to the growing body of patterns. At PLoP, we focus on improving the written _expression_ of patterns through writers’ workshops. You will have opportunities to refine and extend your patterns with the assistance of knowledgeable and sympathetic patterns enthusiasts and to work with others to develop pattern languages. And this year, we will be conducting our workshops and writers’ activities online. The new virtual format is designed to engage patterns enthusiasts—both newcomers and patterns experts alike—in collaborative writing critiques, discussions, online activities, and more.
PLoP Spotlight Topic Groups
In the past, one of the most rewarding parts of PLoP
has been in fostering cooperation among domain experts who have an
interest in collaborating. Over time, we found the strongest pattern
languages created during these collaborations resulted in some solid
examples such as programming framework patterns (Java Spring),
integration patterns (Enterprise Integration Patterns), pedagogical
patterns, organizational change patterns (Fearless Change), and web
services patterns.
This year we are specifically looking for people who want to collaborate in the following Spotlight Topics. We invite submissions in the form of patterns or papers about patterns written with a maximum of 10 pages (font no smaller than 11pt). Please submit to only one of the following six groups (and note this in your comments to the committee):
If you submit a paper and it is accepted, you agree to read and comment on all the papers in that group prior to the conference, thus making it possible to substantively improve the papers during the conference.
Submission Procedure
This year we are specifically looking for people who want to collaborate in the following Spotlight Topics. We invite submissions in the form of patterns or papers about patterns written with a maximum of 10 pages (font no smaller than 11pt). Please submit to only one of the following six groups (and note this in your comments to the committee):
- Education: Education, training, and online learning.
- Teams: Virtual teams, remote communication and collaboration.
- Change: Innovation, change, and experimentation.
- Modeling and Design: Domain modeling, EventStorming, Sociotechnical design.
- Software and systems: Progressive web apps, event-sourced architectures, micro-services, security and IoT.
- PLoPourri – if your paper doesn’t fit in any of the above, you can submit to this group
If you submit a paper and it is accepted, you agree to read and comment on all the papers in that group prior to the conference, thus making it possible to substantively improve the papers during the conference.
Submission Procedure
The core of PLoP is the Writers’ Workshop, where authors work together to improve their papers. Before papers are accepted for a Writers; Workshop, they are shepherded. Shepherding is an iterative process, where an experienced author discusses the submission with its authors to refine the paper prior to the conference. All submissions are peer-reviewed after shepherding.
Following shepherding, papers may be accepted directly into a Writers’ Workshop or alternatively, into a Writing Group. Writing Group papers will receive additional shepherding. Those Writing Group papers reaching a required standard will be considered for inclusion in the conference proceedings.
PLoP proceedings are published after the conference through the ACM Digital Library. It is expected that papers submitted to PLoP will be revised after receiving feedback. Papers discussed at a Writers’ Workshop at PLoP also qualify for submission to the journal Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming published by Springer.
There is a three-stage submission process for the conference:
- Initial submissions are assessed for suitability. Papers judged suitable are assigned a shepherd who will help its authors improve the paper.
- Authors are expected to submit another draft part way through the shepherding process. After shepherding, each paper will be assessed for quality and its authors’ willingness to accept feedback. This review will determine whether a paper is accepted to the conference for further review either within a Writer’s Workshop or a Writing Group.
- Authors with help of their shepherds are expected to continue revising their paper until the final drafts are due. To submit your paper, please visit the PLoP submission page. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register for the conference. Failure to do so will result in acceptance being withdrawn.
Submission will be handled electronically. See the conference's web page for more details.
PLoP Talks
We
are invite patterns enthusiasts to submit proposals for short
presentations on topics of interest to the patterns community. These
talks might be about updates on patterns and pattern languages,
discussions of specific patterns and their evolution, experiences using
and applying patterns, or experiences with writing, revising and
shepherding patterns. The above topics are suggestions, we encourage you
to be creative and think outside of the “box.”
Focus Groups
We
also invite submissions for online working sessions where a topic is
introduced and participants get to collaborate and work together on
filling in knowledge or learning new pattern-related techniques. If you
submit a proposal for a focus group, be sure to include a description of
the format for the focus group as well as an abstract and proposed
session outline.
