Call for Papers: LNCS Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming
Springer-Verlag, and the Hillside Group, are pleased to annouce the
formation of a new journal, Transactions on Pattern Languages of
Programming, to appear as a subline of Springer's Lecture Notes in
Comptuer Science.
Software patterns are a highly effective means of improving the
quality of software engineering, system design, and development, and
communication among the people building them. Patterns capture the
best practices of software design, making them available to all
software engineers.
This new LNCS Transactions subline aims to publish papers on patterns
and pattern languages as applied to software design, development, and
use, throughout all phases of the software life cycle, from
requirements and design to implementation, maintenance and
evolution. The primary topics of this journal are patterns, pattern
collections, and pattern languages themselves, however the LNCS
Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming will also include
reviews, survey articles, criticism of patterns and pattern languages,
as well as other research on patterns and pattern languages.
In addition to presenting and discussing patterns, this LNCS
Transactions aims to present material that is validated -- crucial to
the application and advancement of both industry and research. In this
spirit, the LNCS Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming
focuses on publications that present patterns, research results and
industrial studies that are verifiable. Every paper included here has
been reviewed by both patterns experts and domain experts, including
researchers and practitioners.
Being part of LNCS, the Transactions on Pattern Languages of
Programming will
be available at many leading universities and companies as part of
their LNCS
subscriptions, while practitioners will be able to buy each volume of
the journal
directly from Springer or at good technical bookshops and internet
retailers.
All articles in the Transactions will be available electronically on
SpringerLink.
Aims and Scope
LNCS Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming publishes:
* Patterns and pattern languages
* Reviews and critiques of patterns and pattern languages
* Research on patterns and pattern languages
* Case studies of the use of patterns and pattern languages
* Empirical assessment and evaluation of patterns and pattern languages
* Tool support for patterns and pattern languages
Topics
Interested authors are encouraged to submit papers on the following
topics, though papers on other patterns topics are also welcome:
* Patterns in software development generally, including software
design, software engineering, and software architecture
* Process patterns for management and development processes
* Patterns for human-computer interaction (user-interface patterns,
or novel modes of interaction)
* Patterns for education (ranging from professional training to
classroom teaching)
* Patterns for business and organizations
* Modeling patterns, analysis patterns, design patterns
* Patterns for object-oriented design, aspect-oriented design, and
software design generally
* Patterns to describe libraries, frameworks, and other reusable
software elements
* Patterns for middleware, including distribution, optimization,
security, and performance improvement
* Domain specific patterns and technology specific patterns, as well
as generic patterns
* Patterns for refactoring and reengineering
* Formal models and type systems for patterns
* Programming environments, software repositories, and programming
languages for patterns
* The use of patterns to improve quality attributes such as
adaptability, evolvability, reusability and cost-effectiveness

Submission of Manuscripts
Manuscripts should follow LNCS formatting guidelines, and should be
submitted as PDF files to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
We expect papers submitted for consideration to have been workshopped
and reviewed at least one Hillside Group PLoP conference. When you
submit your paper, please identify the most recent conference, year,
writers workshop, and the workshop chair where you paper was
workshopped.
All queries should be addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
