23rd International Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs
Allerton Park, IL, USA
24 - 26 October 2016
http://hillside.net/plop/2016

There's still time to participate in the 23rd International Pattern Languages of Programs (PLoP) Conference.

PLoP is the original and premiere event for pattern writers, enthusiasts, academics, and practitioners to gather, discuss, and learn more about patterns in programming, software development, and in other non-software disciplines. 

PLoP is a unique experience. Unlike traditional conferences, the program is primarily structured around Writers’ Workshops, where pattern papers are critiqued and improved by fellow pattern writers, led by expert workshop facilitators. The spirit of PLoP is about pattern writers helping each other produce better work.

Other activities include Focus Groups, Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions, Patterns Bootcamp (for pattern newcomers), games, and discussions during shared meals.

Submissions may include short papers containing one or more patterns, longer pattern languages or sequences, or works-in-progress by writers wishing to get in-depth shepherding by an experienced writer at the conference. Suitable topics include all aspects of software programming and delivery, including the human aspects. We also encourage patterns and pattern languages on other topics, essays on patterns, and visions for the future. 

In addition, you may submit proposals for free-format discussion groups or workshops bringing together people interested in a hot topic related to patterns or proven practices—with a duration about two hours. Unconventional formats are welcome.

More details on submissions can be found here:
http://hillside.net/plop/2016/index.php?nav=submissions

PLoP submissions will be peer reviewed and digitally archived at ACM. Papers discussed at writers’ workshops at this conference qualify for submission to the TPLoP journal, “TPLoP—Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming,” published by Springer.

Important Dates:
  • 19 May - paper submissions due
  • 26 May - shepherding begins
  • 30 June - focus group / workshop proposals due
  • 21 July - paper 2nd draft due for review

On behalf of PLoP 2016 and the Hillside Group,

Jason Yip, Program Chair
