SUBMISSION WILL OPEN SOON
Before submitting check out the submission guidelines below and general guidelines for pattern writing.
Submission guidelines
VikingPLoP accepts papers containing patterns or pattern languages as well as experience reports and papers related to the theory and use of patterns. Papers submitted to VikingPLoP cover a wide range of subjects, from technical issues to social and organizational issues and artificial intelligence.
We expect that papers introduce novel patterns found in practice or papers that report the usage of patterns e.g. in the following topics:
- Artificial intelligence and data mining
- Embedded systems, distributed control systems, and other low level systems
- Web applications, software frameworks
- Software design, architecture, management, and continuous deployment pipelines
- Patterns covering business processes and sales
- Human computer interaction, user interfaces research
- Pedagogy, education and coaching
The submitted papers should contain one or more patterns or report results from applying patterns. While longer submissions may be considered, papers should generally not exceed 10 pages. Conference submissions may be in any readable format that allows for commenting on a printout. The final versions of the papers should be formatted according to the Springer LNCS for publication in proceedings.
Papers discussed at a writer’s workshop at this conference qualify for separate submission to the Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming journal, published by Springer.
First-time pattern authors are especially welcome to participate in the conference. All papers accepted for the shepherding process will receive in-depth shepherding by an experienced pattern author before the conference. Should you have any questions, please contact the conference chairs.
We also accept papers on the application of patterns in practice. The focus of these papers should be on applications of patterns in industrial projects, as well as on systematizing the application of patterns.
