     *Call For Participation*

To be held in Monticello, Illinois at Allerton Park, September 5th - 
8th. This conference is open to both patterns writers and patterns users 
alike.

The purpose of PloP is to promote development of pattern languages on 
all aspects of software, including design and programming, software 
architecture, user interface design, domain modeling, and software 
process. Domain-specific patterns are encouraged.

*The Paper Submission deadline May 21st.

*

   *Papers are sought on:* 
   Patterns and pattern languages 
   Critiques of patterns and pattern languages 
   Research on patterns and pattern languages 
   Case studies of the use of patterns and pattern languages Papers
   will be reviewed carefully and most papers are revised before they
   are accepted. Authors will receive early feedback within two weeks
   of submission, and a final result by August 1.

   PloP is run in the “writers’ workshop” style. No more than 15 pages
   can be covered in a session, so the normal size of papers is 15
   pages or less. Short papers are encouraged! Longer papers are
   possible, especially for pattern languages, but authors of long
   papers will have to work with the workshop leader to select a
   portion of the paper to be covered in the workshop. Authors of
   books-in-progress who would like to have their work reviewed at PloP
   should contact the program chairs.
