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.
