VikingPLoP 2014 - Nordic pattern conference VikingPLoP 2014

VikingPLoP accepts papers containing patterns or pattern languages as well as experience reports and papers related to the theory and use of patterns. Papers submitted to VikingPLoP cover a wide range of subjects, from technical issues, like distributed machine control and C++ programming, to social and organizational issues. We expect that paper topics cover a wide range of domains such as:
Embedded systems, distributed control systems, and other low level systems
Software development: design, architecture, management and processes
Human computer interaction (user-interface aspects and novel modes of interaction)
Pedagogy and education (both professional training and classroom teaching)
Business and organizational questions
The submitted papers should contain one or more patterns and have up to 10 pages following LNCS format guidelines. Longer pattern languages or sequences and work-in-progress papers will also be considered for inclusion. All accepted papers will receive in-depth shepherding by an experienced pattern author before the conference. First-time pattern authors are especially welcomed to participate in the conference. If any questions will arise, contact the conference chairs.
We also accept papers on the application of patterns in practice. The focus of these papers should be on applications of patterns in industrial projects, as well as on systematizing the application of patterns. They should stimulate a general discussion on how to disseminate the patterns literature more widely in higher education and training.
