SugarLoafPLoP 2003 - Second Call for submissions
The Third Latin American Conference on Pattern Languages of Programming:
SugarLoafPLoP 2003
August 12 - 15, 2003 - Porto de Galinhas, Pernambuco, Brazil
http://www.cin.ufpe.br/~sugarloafplop/
SUBMISSIONS DUE: 7 APRIL 2003
Software developers have long observed that certain themes recur and
endure across different applications and systems. The emerging interest
in patterns represents an effort to catalog and communicate these themes
and motives to provide handbooks of proven solutions to common problems.
SugarLoafPLoP brings together researchers, educators and practitioners
whose interests span a remarkably broad range of topics, and who share
an interest in exploring the power of the pattern form. SugarLoafPLoP
invites you to add your expertise to the growing corpus of patterns.
SugarLoafPLoP focuses on improving the expression of patterns. You will
have the opportunity to refine and extend your patterns with help from
knowledgeable and sympathetic fellow patterns enthusiasts. You will also
be able to discuss applications of patterns in industry and academia.
*** TOPICS
All aspects of programs and their production are suitable topics of
pattern languages. Patterns might be so specific as to name particular
objects, interface elements or implementation structures in a solution;
or so general as to describe high-level architectures. They could
describe configurations of hardware, software or even people. Patterns
may or may not be specific to a domain or programming language. But they
always work together with other patterns. We encourage the submission of
small collections of patterns that build on each other, and particularly
encourage the submission of pattern languages that capture the timeless
structures of our industry. Above all, we encourage the submission of
patterns that tie into the existing body of published pattern
literature. For examples of patterns from past years, browse the
material at the industry Patterns Home Page (http://www.hillside.net/).
*** PAPERS
We accept submissions for three different tracks: the Writers' Workshop,
a traditional activity of all PLoPs and two special sessions, Software
Pattern Applications (SPA) and Writing Patterns (WP).
* Writers' Workshop
For this track, we accept papers written in the pattern form. The
actual subject of patterns need not be original. Rather, preference will
be shown to authors best able to exploit the form in the field of
computing. Very liberal revision policies will ensure that authors can
incorporate insights obtained at the conference into the proceedings.
You will be assigned a shepherd who will review your paper and suggest
improvements. At the end of the shepherding period, the program
committee will evaluate papers for inclusion in the conference workshop.
Authors who don't respond to their shepherd will have their papers
rejected. We really expect that once you submit a paper and engage a
shepherd, you implicitly agree to attend the conference if accepted.
* Software Pattern Applications
This track accepts papers that explore application of patterns, such as
using patterns in industry or academia, tools for using patterns,
comparisons of productivity using patterns, and so on. Formatting
guidelines for this kind of paper should be found at
http://www.sbc.org.br/templates.
* Writing Patterns
This track will receive newcommers who want to learn how to better
elaborate an idea intended to evolve to a pattern. Here we also prefer
papers in the pattern form, but we assume the authors are new to the
patterns field, so the evaluation focus more on the idea rather than on
the form of the paper. This is more like a hands-on tutorial on writing
patterns.
All submissions should be sent to sugarloafplop@cin.ufpe.br by April
7th, 2003. Like last year, we are encouraging submissions in three
languages: Portuguese, Spanish, and English. We will make every effort
to make this a trilingual venue. However, all submissions should include
an English abstract.
Authors will be notified whether their papers are accepted on June 20th,
2003.
Detailed submission requirements are available on SugarLoafPLoP's Web
page: http://www.cin.ufpe.br/~sugarloafplop
*** PROCEEDINGS
Authors will be given the opportunity to incorporate feedback from their
writers' workshops. The resulting papers will appear *after the
SugarLoafPLoP* in the conference proceedings. Online proceedings will
also be available at the Hillside patterns repository. Authors are
encouraged to seek subsequent publication of their patterns in works
such as the SPS series (http://www.awl.com/patterns) after the
conference. All papers will also be available on-line at
http://www.cin.ufpe.br/~sugarloafplop/acceptedPapers.htm.
