AsianPLoP 2016 - Fifth Asian Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs

A pattern is a solution to a recurring problem in a certain context where numerous forces are felt. Patterns enable people to share experience-based proven solutions in designing products, managing processes, projects and organizations, and communicating with each other more efficiently and effectively.
Asian Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs (AsianPLoP) will take place for the fifth time, as a premier event for pattern authors and users to get together, discuss and learn more about patterns and pattern languages in the Asia region as well as other regions. The purpose of AsianPLoP is to promote development of patterns, pattern languages, technologies and experiences of patterns primarily about software as well as domains.
AsianPLoP 2016 solicits paper submissions that are written in any one the three languages: English, Chinese and Japanese. Papers in each of the three languages will have their own sessions. Both practitioners from the industry and academics are invited to submit their papers. The conference solicits the papers for the following different sessions. Details can be found in Topics and Submission.
Writers' Workshop - papers that document patterns and pattern languages will be workshopped in the traditional PLoP format. Papers that explore theories, techniques, applications, tools and case studies in patterns are also welcome.
Writing Group - papers of newcomers who want to learn how to better elaborate an idea intended to evolve into a pattern or pattern language. This is more like a hands-on tutorial on writing patterns.
