THE CONFERENCE
--------------
SugarLoafPLoP brings together 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.

Highlights of the conference include tutorials, invited speakers, and
workshops, all held in a beach in the Brazilian Northeast, an area of
great natural and cultural beauty.

The SugarLoafPLoP'2007 program will be divided in three different tracks:

* Writers' Workshop (WW) - papers that document patterns and pattern
languages will be workshopped in the traditional PLoP format.

* Pattern Applications (PA) - papers that explore the use and application
of patterns, such as using patterns in industry and academia tools for
using patterns, evaluation of productivity when using patterns, teaching
and consulting with patterns, and so on. Both practitioners from the
software industry and academics are invited to submit to this track.

* Writing Patterns (WP) - papers of newcomers who want to learn how to
better elaborate an idea intended to evolve to a pattern or pattern
language. This is more like a hands-on tutorial on writing patterns.
