*Paper submission deadline extension to June 4th*
*********************************************************************
Dear all,
After receiving several requests, the chairs have decided to extend the
submissions deadline for PLoP 2007 to *4th June*.
Papers already submitted will be honored by having a shepherd assigned as
initially planned, at 4th June.
In order to help the shepherd assignment process, you may also send us short
abstracts that will be posted as placeholders to be used by shepherds on their
selection.
Papers received until the new deadline will be made available for shepherd
assignment immediately as they are received. Updates of current submissions
will also be accepted until the new deadline.
All papers are peer reviewed. Dates for submission of post-conference papers
and copyright forms for digital archival will be announced later (PLoP'06
papers are being archived on ACM Digital Library).
We sincerely hope this extension will help the authors with problems on
submitting on time for the initial deadline and that accommodates well with the
other authors.
*New Important dates (extended)*
May 21-June 4: Paper submissions due.
June 4-11: Shepherding begins
June 29-July 6: Shepherd recommendations Aug 1: Notification of acceptance Aug
12: Conference Drafts due Aug 19: Early registration ends Sep 5: First Day of
PLoP
We will look forward for your submissions.
Best regards,
Joseph Yoder and Ademar Aguiar

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

*About PLoP*
Pattern Languages of Programs (PLoPÂ(tm)) conference is a premier event for
pattern authors and pattern enthusiasts to gather, discuss and learn more about
patterns and software development.
The conference program offers pattern authors an unique opportunity to have
their pattern languages reviewed by fellow authors, which occurs mainly in the
form of Writers' Workshops.
Authors and non-authors will find in the different PLoP activities (Writers'
Workshops, Focus Groups, BoF sessions, BootCamp, Games) many opportunities to
learn more about patterns and pattern writing.
As a whole, the conference provides a friendly and effective environment to
give and get feedback, to share expertise, and to allow the participants to
improve their patterns and make them more useful and more publishable.
At the Hillside Group web site you can learn more about patterns, writing
patterns, PLoP conferences, previous PLoP's, and more.

*Submissions*
The purpose of PLoP is to promote development of pattern languages on all
aspects of software, including design and programming, software architecture,
user interface design, domain modeling, and software process.
Patterns related with aspects, AOP, and domain-specific patterns are especially
encouraged this year.
*Paper* submissions may include short papers, containing one or more patterns,
longer pattern languages or sequences, or work-in-progress papers willing to
get an in-depth shepherding by an experienced pattern author at the conference.
Papers are sought on topics related to patterns and pattern languages,
including:
* Patterns and pattern languages
* Critiques of patterns and pattern languages
* Research on patterns and pattern languages
* Case studies of the use of patterns and pattern languages
Papers will be peer-reviewed to be accepted for the shepherding process.
During shepherding, authors will have assigned a shepherd that will help the
author to improve the content and style of the paper. At the end of the
shepherding process, papers will be reviewed again to be accepted into the
writer's workshops of the conference. Authors will receive early feedback
within two weeks of submission, and a final result at the end of July.
PLoP is run in the Â"writersÂ' workshopÂ" style. As no more than 15 pages can
be properly covered in a session, the normal size of papers is 15 pages or
less. Short papers are encouraged! Longer papers are possible, especially for
pattern languages, but authors of long papers will have to work with the
workshop leader to select a portion of the paper to be covered in the workshop.
Authors of books-in-progress who would like to have their work reviewed at PLoP
should contact the chairs.
*Focus groups* are free-format discussion groups or workshops aimed at bringing
together people interested in a hot topic related to patterns or proven
practices, for a period of about two hours.
These sessions might focus on very different topics and issues related to
patterns, ranging from writing to using, organising, or adopting patterns.
Focus group proposals should include a brief description of the topic to be
addressed, objectives, format, conditions for participation (e.g. invitation,
submission, free, etc), and a schedule outline. Proposals addressing
interdisciplinary topics and topics from other domains than software
development are especially encouraged.
Non-conventional formats are welcome.
Focus group proposals are reviewed by the program committee. Focus group
leaders are expected to write a report to be part of the final conference
proceedings.
*How to submit*
All submissions must be done by May 21 using the online submission system.
*Proceedings*
The conference version of the papers will be publicly available, individually,
by writers' workshop, and into the preliminary conference proceedings.
Being feedback and improvement the focus of the writers' workshops, papers are
not considered final once they have been workshopped. Authors incorporate the
feedback they receive at the writers' workshop into their papers before the
papers go into the final proceedings to be produced after the conference, which
will be made available on the hillside website and digitally archived (PLoP'06
papers are being archived on ACM Digital Library).

June 4-11: Shepherding begins
June 29-July 6: Shepherd recommendations Aug 1: Notification of acceptance Aug
