THE CONFERENCE
Software developers have long observed that certain patterns recur and
endure across different applications and systems. The growing interest
in patterns represents an effort to catalogue and better communicate
knowledge, providing handbooks of proven solutions to common problems.
The purpose of MiniPLoP is to promote development of patterns and
pattern languages, primarily about aspects of software: design and
programming, testing, software architecture, user interface design,
domain modelling, and software processes. Patterns and pattern languages
for domains outside software are also welcome.
MiniPLoP brings together students, researchers, educators, and
practitioners whose interests span a remarkably broad range of topics
and who share an interest in exploring the power of the pattern form.
This version of MiniPLoP has the goal to encourage the beginners in the
pattern world and to put together the Latin-American pattern community.
The MiniPLoP program will accept submissions for the Writers Workshop
(WW) track. The papers should document patterns or pattern languages and
they will be workshopped in the traditional PLoP format. The authors
will have the opportunity to improve their work based on the feedback
obtained from MiniPLoP. The idea is to encourage the authors to submit
more mature versions of the their papers to SugarLoafPLoP or other PloP
conference.
The MiniPLoP'2013 program will include an introduction to pattern
writing (bootcamp), an international tutorial (to be confirmed), an
international keynote (to be confirmed), and the writers workshops.
Writers Workshop (WW)
There has been a recognition that the writers workshop process is
beneficial for the production of high quality papers ever since the
first patterns conference or PLoP was held in 1994. Attendees will
participate in a writers workshop of their paper as well as writers
workshops for papers of other attendees in their group. Participants who
do not have a paper to workshop are also invited. Everyone will be
expected to read all the papers in their groups in advance.
Bootcamp
The MiniPLoP experience provides something different, but needed, in the
patterns community ” a "bootcamp" for newcomers. This section provides
an introduction to patterns: a training, mentoring, experiencing
activity, where participants will be immersed in patterns and emerge
with an enlarged perspective and an ability to get more out of all PLoPs
conferences. The section format consists of a variety of lecture,
discussion, group pattern writing, game playing, and writers' workshop -
not necessarily in that order.
PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Paper submission can already be performed via the online Pasture system
(a shepherding system for pattern conferences):
http://tinyurl.com/miniplop2013.Papers can be written in English
(preferred), Portuguese, or Spanish and must conform to the SBC
(Brazilian Computer Society) style that will be available in the
conference web site. Submissions should be in PDF format.
