EuroPLoP 2016 - 21th European Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs

EuroPLoP is the premier European conference on patterns and pattern languages. EuroPLoP is focused on giving and receiving feedback. Instead of presenting, participants discuss contributions to provide authors high quality feedback for improving their publication:
All accepted papers will be published in the EuroPLoP proceedings.
Papers discussed at the conference also qualify for a submission to the Springer journal LNCS Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming (TPLoP).
EuroPLoP also accepts excerpts from PhD thesis or book projects. In the past, many book authors submitted parts of their work to get feedback from the pattern community.
Pattern Papers
We encourage submitting patterns or pattern-related papers on all aspects of software, including the following topics:
Software engineering
Software architecture and design
Education and collaboration
Embedded systems
Web development and cloud computing
Mobile computing
Agile development and coaching
Software quality and verification
Requirements engineering
Protocols and standards
Business and organization
Distributed and service-oriented systems
Human computer interaction
and from other domains as well..
EuroPLoP accepts papers containing patterns or pattern languages, as well as experience reports and papers related to the theory and use of patterns.
Papers on Applying and Identifying Patterns
In addition to papers containing patterns and pattern languages, we also welcome papers on the use of patterns in industrial projects. They should stimulate a general discussion on how to utilize patterns more widely in practice.
Please submit:
Reports on using patterns in projects, education and organizations
Scientific studies on patterns and pattern applications
Papers that present theoretical arguments about patterns
Empirical evaluations of patterns and pattern languages
Focus Groups
EuroPLoP is also looking for focus groups. If you want to propose a focus group, please write a short abstract and submit it through our submission system. You can also propose and experiment with other formats (e.g. fishbowls, collaboration sheets, six thinking hats). Please state shortly how you will organize your session, how much time is needed, and how many participants are required. Our focus group chair can support you in organizing and planning your focus group.
