LNCS Transactions on Pattern Languages of
Programming
Listen to the Software Engineering
Podcast Episode on the Patterns Journal
Motivation
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 focus 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.
