General talk about software patterns

[Linda Rising <risingl1 AT cox.net>]

Hello all.  I'm sending out a friendly reminder that we are around 6 weeks away from the paper submission deadline for PLoP 2006. 

The on-line CFP can be found at: http://hillside.net/plop/2006/.

==============================================================================

Call For Participation

To be held in Portland Oregon, October 21-23, in conjunction with OOPSLA’06. This conference is open to both patterns writers and 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.

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.

Paper submissions are open to everyone, no invitation is required.
