PLoP
Pattern Languages of Programs, People, and Practices (PLoP®) is the premier conference for pattern authors and users to gather, discuss and learn more about patterns. To achieve this, the conference promotes the use of patterns and pattern languages, as well as the underlying theory of the nature of order. PLoP 2024 will be held October 13-16, 2024.

The Hillside Mission
The mission of the Hillside Group is to improve the quality of life and society as a whole. This includes architects, developers, managers, owners, workers, educators, students, and more. Understanding and helping the human element is critical for achieving success. The Hillside Group believes in making processes and design more humane by paying attention to real people and existing practices.
The Hillside Group promotes the use of patterns and pattern languages to record, analyze, and share knowledge to help achieve its mission. The Hillside Group sponsors a variety of activities to achieve this mission—organizing workshops, hosting PLoP (pattern) conferences, and producing publications for discussing, recording, and documenting successful practices.
The Hillside Group supports many different conferences such as: PLoP, EuroPLoP, AsianPLoP, VikingPLoP, SugarLoafPLoP, and ChiliPLoP. These conferences focus on writing groups to better improve patterns through group exposure. Each conference offers advanced topics for the more adept pattern writers. Participants have the opportunity to refine and extend their patterns with help from knowledgeable and sympathetic patterns enthusiasts.
Pattern Books
The Design Patterns Book Series showcases many patterns from PLoP conferences and leading experts in the patterns field.
See our Pattern Book Library filled with over 80 Pattern related books.

PLoP Conferences
Conferences
PLoP Conference Proceedings
After the PLoP Workshops, writers are encouraged to modify their papers and submit a final version. The final versions are collected and submitted to the ACM Digital Library. The versions are also available from the conference website.
Conference Proceedings (ACM Digital Library)
Some of the PLoP accepted papers have been published on the ACM Digital Library. The program committee will review the final versions of the papers and recommend acceptance to for the ACM Digital Library based on the general quality of the paper and whether the suggestions from the Writers’ Workshop have been taken into account.
TPLoP journal
Papers that have been workshopped at all PLoPs qualify for submission to the Springer journal LNCS Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming (TPLoP). Submissions to TPLoP will be blind reviewed independently. If the paper is accepted for TPLoP, the editorial board usually asks for minor or major revisions based on the feedback from the reviewers.

The premier Indian Conference
on Pattern Languages of Programs
Software developers have long observed that certain themes recur and endure across different applications and systems. The emerging interest in patterns represents an effort to catalog and communicate these themes and motives to provide handbooks of proven solutions to common problems.
GuruPLoP brings 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. GuruPLoP invites you to add your expertise to the growing corpus of patterns. GuruPLoP focuses on improving the expression of patterns. You will have the opportunity to refine and extend your patterns with help from knowledgeable and sympathetic fellow patterns enthusiasts.

Security Patterns in Practice
Eduardo Fernandez's new book " Security Patterns in Practice: Designing Secure Architectures with Software Patterns " has been published.
It is the result of 14 years of producing security patterns with students and colleagues. Almost all of these patterns went through PLoP, EuroPLoP, AsianPLoP, or SugarLoafPLoP. Many of you have participated as shepherds or workshop commentators, the book owes something to
