The focus at PLoP is on learning, discussion and reflection about patterns. The conference offers a variety of workshops that allow you to learn about patterns, to receive feedback on your own patterns, and to discuss patterns with fellow pattern enthusiasts. Aspects of PLoP 2005 highlighted below: Invited talks by Doug Schmidt and Ralph Johnson, Focus Groups, including one on Leading Workshops with Richard Gabriel, Pre-PLoP Bootcamp, Where to go for more info: http://hillside.net/plop/2005 This year PLoP will host three specially invited talks: Doug Schmidt will offer a talk entitled "Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture: Patterns for Concurrency and Distributed Systems", as we near the 10th year of the first POSA book. In honor of the 10th anniversary of the "Gang of Four" book, Ralph Johnson and Brian Foote will muse about refactoring the GOF patterns, especially the Creational patterns space. And additionally, Johnson will preview the GoF's plans for their long awaited / anticipated sequel to the legendary Design Patterns book. A 3rd special talk also by Doug will look at "Reifying Patterns for Distributed Systems in Modeling Tools", which will look at Model Driven design and its use to reify patterns for product-line architectures. PLoP 2005 continues the tradition of Focus Groups where people with common interests come together to discuss patterns and pattern-related topics. To highlight just one of these Focus Groups: Richard Gabriel and Linda Rising are planning a Focus Group to look at more in-depth, more active pattern Writers' Workshop leadership for the future. Information on this and the other Focus Groups is on the web And for the second year in a row there will be a pre-PLoP Bootcamp led by Linda Rising and Bob Hanmer to guide patterns newcomers into patterns, pattern writing and preparation for PLoP. Only a few seats remain.
