From: kgb1001001@aol.com (Kyle Brown) Newsgroups: comp.object,comp.software.patterns,comp.software-eng,comp.lang.java Subject: Pattern Languages of Programs (PLoP) 2002 Call For Papers (revision) Date: 18 Mar 2002 13:20:21 -0800 The program committee for the 9th annual Pattern Languages of Programs (PLoP 2002) conference would like to announce the call for papers for the PLoP 2002 conference. For the full text of the call for papers and other information, see the conference web site (http://jerry.cs.uiuc.edu/~plop/plop2002). Introduction Software developers and researchers have long observed that certain themes recur and endure across different applications and different domains. The emerging interest in software patterns and pattern languages represents an effort to document and communicate these themes and to provide handbooks of proven solutions to common problems. PLoP brings together practitioners and researchers whose interests span a broad range of topics, who share an interest in exploring the power of the pattern form. PLoP invites you to add your expertise to the growing body of patterns. At PLoP, we focus on improving the written expression of patterns through writers's workshops. You will have opportunities to refine and extend your patterns with the assistance of knowledgeable and sympathetic patterns enthusiasts and to work with others to develop pattern languages. Topics and Paper Submission Guidelines 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. They might be so general as to document high-level architectures. They might describe configurations of hardware, software, or even people in the process of writing programs. Patterns may or may not be specific to a particular domain or programming language. The patterns community is particularly interested in pattern languages that document software and software development organizations. The conference solicits papers written in pattern form and will consider papers that discuss aspects of the form or experiences using patterns. Papers in all topics of computer science, if provided in pattern form, will be accepted for review. We are particularly looking for papers on the Focus Topics below, but papers do not have to fall within one of these topics to be accepted for review. In addition, papers that refactor existing patterns into pattern languages are desired. The actual subject of patterns and pattern languages need not be original. Rather, preference will be shown to authors who are best able to exploit the patterns to document patterns of software. Authors will be able to revise their original patterns based on insights obtained at the conference's writers' workshops. Submission will be handled electronically. See the conference's web page for more details. Focus Topics One of the concerns expressed about the writer's circle format of previous PLoP conferences is that while they are effective in providing comments on improving the form and style of the patterns papers workshopped, they are less effective at providing valid and helpful feedback on the content of the papers. To begin to address this concern, this year we are fostering cooperation among domain experts by allowing for the submission of "Focus topics" in special areas where we will seek for paper submissions. In the past, we have seen groups of papers submitted in areas of particular interest to the patterns community, for instance, Analysis patterns, telecommunications patterns and J2EE patterns. We have also found that the strongest pattern languages that have emerged are those that are formed from the combined experience of several experts in a field. As a result, this year we are specifically looking for papers on the following Focus Topics. If you are interested in submitting a paper in any of these areas, please contact the appropriate Focus Topic organizer listed below, and check the conference web site Focus Topic Page for more information on collaborating with other authors in these areas. This year's focus topics include: Topic: PATTERNS AND PATTERN LANGUAGES FOR DISTRIBUTED REAL-TIME AND EMBEDDED SYSTEMS Abstract: The goal of the proposed focused topic session is to discover and document common patterns among architectures of object-oriented distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems. As part of the session, the patterns will be interwoven to formulate a pattern language for OO DRE systems. The resulting pattern language will continue to be refined in future focus topic sessions at other PLoP and EuroPLoP conferences. Contact: Douglas Schmidt (schmidt@uci.edu) Topic: Design Patterns for Test and Testability of applications having Concurrent Architecture and multithreaded design patterns Abstract: The literature shows that the Pattern community has yet to fully explore the pragmatics of Software Test engineering. Our approach to this topic starts with the Architectural Patterns as a framework for beginning to fill in some of the Test and Testability Patterns used in software development and software maintenance. Patterns at various levels based on the experiences of the group will be presented and discussed. Contact: John Prieur (jprieur@kofile.com) Topic: Patterns for Securing (Enterprise) Software Applications Abstract: As the Internet and e-business are gaining interest, security is becoming more important. Standard 'perimeter security' approach (firewalls) do not offer sufficient protection. What we believe has to be done is to come up with methods that would start by treating security as an integral part of application development. Since security touches all the aspects of the development process (design, coding practices etc.), in this focus topic we will discuss all patterns touching both successful and unsuccessful security implementations. Contact: Miroslav Kis (miroslav.kis@bmo.com ) Topic: Patterns of Messaging and Web Services Abstract: Web Services are rapidly gaining acceptance as a key part of business-to-business communication and enterprise integration. While many web services implementations have been successfully deployed, there is as of yet a scant understanding as to what the best practices and common patterns are in this field. Closely related topics to this are patterns that relate to asynchronous messaging architectures; especially those that combine asynchronous message flows with composed XML messages. In this focus topic we will examine the first patterns in this emerging field and share experiences in this area. Contact:Kyle Brown (plop-2002-chair@jerry.cs.uiuc.edu) After the paper submission deadline, we will also provide a list of the authors who have submitted papers on the focus topics to each other, and encourage them to contact each other to continue interacting and collaborating prior to the conference. Furthermore, we will keep those authors that have submitted papers on a particular Focus Topic together in a writer's circle during the conference, and provide additional time for Focus Topic authors to begin collaborating outside of the writer's circle workshops. We will also encourage the members of the Focus topic groups to read and comment on the papers for the topic prior to the conference, thus making it possible to more substantively improve the papers during the conference. Refactoring Workshop Proposals Linda Rising's book, The Pattern Almanac 2000, was one of the first major attempts at organizing and describing published patterns. Other groups have been interested in structuring pattern languages from existing patterns, such as those in the organizational, telecom and elementary pattern communities. It is the goal of the refactoring workshops to provide intensive, collaborative environments where those interested in forming or extending pattern languages can meet. This call for participation is for workshop organizers. A later call will occur for workshop attendees. See the conference's submission requirements for more details. Important Dates Conference Dates September 8-12, 2002 Paper Submissions and Refactoring Workshop Proposals Due Friday May 10, 2002 Shepherding Begins May 20, 2002 Shepherd Recommendations due July 1, 2002 Notification of Acceptance July 8, 2002 Final Conference Copy Due July 22, 2002 Registration Due To be announced Conference Starts September 8, 2002 Conference The conference will be held at Allerton House, a mansion on a large, mostly wooded estate that is owned by the University of Illinois. Accommodations are available on site, in the nearby village of Monticello, or in Champaign-Urbana. Airport limousine service is available to and from the conference site. In addition to writers' workshops, the conference will also offer discussions of patterns in other forums. Extra sessions during the day will focus on practical issues of interest to the patterns community. One evening plenary session will focus on a large-scale topic of interest to the community. Open time in the afternoons and evenings will offer attendees the opportunity to organize informal birds-of-a-feather sessions. Every effort will be made to provide an informal and creative atmosphere for the entire conference. The organizers are open to out-of-the-ordinary proposals as long as they, like patterns, celebrate the elusive quality called good design. Special Guests This year we are honored to welcome as our special guests at the PLoP 2002 conference the following speakers: · John Crupi, Author of "Core J2EE Patterns"; will be our keynote speaker, discussing his experiences in discovering and capturing the patterns that make up his best-selling pattern catalog · Martin Fowler, Author of "Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code", "Analysis Patterns", and "UML Distilled" will discuss his latest set of patterns, the "Enterprise Architecture Patterns" · Richard Gabriel, Author of "Patterns of Software: Tales from the Software Community", will speak on the creative process of writing patterns, and leading workshops on how to write good, effective patterns Registration Everyone who plans to attend PLoP'2002 should register in advance. This includes authors, non-authors, students, staff, and conference organizers. Space is limited, so please register early. Registration will also be handled electronically.
