BTW, we also encourage people to submit research papers on patterns to the PLoP conferences.

I know there hasn't been too much on it so more would be welcomed.

Hi Jake,

There is a lot of research on design pattern formalisation, often in the 
context of tools to find pattern instances in programs. A (not up to date) 
summary can be found in this book:

Toufik Taibi (editor): Design Pattern Formalization Techniques. Idea Group 
Inc., 2007.

We have used description logic (OWL) to formally describe design patterns, for 
details see:

Dietrich, J., Elgar, C.: Towards a Web of Patterns. Journal of Web Semantics, 
Volume 5 , Issue 2 (June 2007), pp 108-116.
Dietrich, J., Elgar, C.: A formal Description of Design Patterns using OWL. 
Proceedings of the 16th Australian Conference on Software Engineering 
(ASWEC2005), IEEE Computer Society, 2005.
Dietrich, J., Jones, N., Wright, J.: Using Social Networking and Semantic Web 
Technology in Software Engineering - Use Cases, Patterns, and a Case Study. 
Extended version of the ASWEC2007 paper, Journal for Systems and Software 
(JSS). Volume 81, Issue 12 (December 2008), pp 2183-2193, 2008.

Hi, folks,

I am curious about the state of patterns theory, and what academic work exists 
on theoretical underpinnings of patterns. Obviously, there is Alexander (and 
I'm not sure whether any of this would be in Notes on the Synthesis of Form), 
but Timeless Way isn't very academic. I'm particularly interested in any work 
which might have tied patterns into topics such as: organizational learning, 
codification of knowledge, knowledge transfer, causal maps, cognitive mental 
maps, organizational culture, anything from cognitive psychology such as 
categorization theory and taxonomies. I would appreciate any papers or other 
references you can send to me!

(And, hello, all you PLoP '09 attendees!)

Thanks in advance,
