General talk about software patterns

[Linda Rising <risingl1 AT cox.net>]

Call for papers for Pattern Languages of Programming 2006.

To be held in Portland Oregon, October 21-23, in conjunction with OOPSLA'06.

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.

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

Submit papers by May 15 electronically at 
http://hillside.net:9000/plop/index.ssp

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.
