Greetings PLoP '94 Attendee, The following information describes the registration procedure for PLoP '95.

Those of you who have subscribed to one or more of the patterns lists may receive several copies of this notice. We apologize for the duplication.... ============================================================ PLoP '95 Registration Information Second Annual Conference on the Pattern Languages of Programs Wednesday-Friday, 6-8 September 1995 Robert Allerton Park University of Illinois Monticello, Illinois Software researchers, as well as developers, have long observed that certain architectural themes recur and endure across different applications and systems. The emerging interest in patterns represents a (long overdue) effort to catalog and communicate these themes and idioms. PLoP '95 will bring together researchers and practitioners whose interests span a remarkably broad range of topics, who share an interest in exploring the power of the pattern form. Join us for three days of rumination, rustication, and relaxation on the banks of the Sangamon.
