*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 is 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.
