AsianPLoP 2020 is in cooperation with ACM.
Asian Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs (AsianPLoP®) is the premier event for pattern authors and users to get together, discuss and learn more about patterns and pattern languages in the Asia region as well as other regions. The purpose of AsianPLoP® is to promote development of patterns, pattern languages, technologies and experiences of patterns primarily about software as well as domains.

Welcome to the ninth edition of AsianPLoP. Although COVID-19 has prevented us from gathering in Taipei for the second time, we are pleased to announce that this edition continues the excellent tradition of AsianPLoP in sourcing patterns across a wide range of topics including software, education and learning, and social science. All papers accepted to the Writer's Workshop went through at least two iterations of shepherding, and received at least three votes from program committee members to put them in the Writer's Workshop. All keynotes, tutorials, and Writer's Workshops will meet online. While it will probably be a while for us to meet in one place and enjoy each other's presence again, we hope you'll enjoy this online edition of AsianPLoP.
All the best,

Asian Pattern Languages of Programs (AsianPLoP) conference is a venue for pattern authors to have their pattern languages reviewed by fellow authors. The purpose of AsianPLoP is to promote the development of pattern languages, primarily about aspects of software: design and programming, testing, software architecture, user interface design, domain modelling, education, human relations, and software processes. Patterns and pattern languages for domains outside software are also welcome.
AsianPLoP 2020 was held online from September 2-4, 2020.
Suggested topic areas of interest include, but are not limited to:We invited contributions from practitioners and researchers on the following:
- New patterns and pattern languages of:
- machine learning patterns,
- innovation patterns,
- business patterns,
- requirements patterns,
- analysis patterns,
- architecture patterns,
- design patterns,
- programming and refactoring patterns,
- testing and maintenance patterns,
- process and organizational management patterns,
- pedagogical and education patterns,
- communication patterns,
- other non-software patterns
- Critiques, researches, and case studies of:
- patterns and pattern languages,
- related areas, such as agile development and Wiki
AsianPLoP is different from other conferences. It is run in the "writers' workshop" style, as described in Richard Gabriel's book. Before the conference, authors interact with a "shepherd" who helps them improve their paper to make it as ready for AsianPLoP as possible. A program committee reviews the papers for final acceptance after they have gone through the shepherding process. The writers' workshops provide more feedback, and authors revise their papers again after AsianPLoP. The papers here are the version produced by authors after AsianPLoP, not the ones reviewed at AsianPLoP.
Writers’ workshops help the pattern community to improve their patterns and pattern languages. These workshops are the primary focus at AsianPLoP, and in them we discuss accepted papers. There are four self-organized writer’s workshops featuring 13 papers in AsianPLoP 2020 and 2 of the papers were withdrawn and are not included in the post-conference proceedings. Below is the list of papers that were workshopped at AsianPLoP 2020 and are included in these proceedings.
The table of contents is organized by the workshop groups and the chairs as they were presented at AsianPLoP.
The AsianPLoP Conference would not be a success without the volunteer help of the shepherds and program committee members. The shepherds devote hours of their time to helping authors improve their papers before the conference. The program committee members help organize the conference, handle requests, and communicate with attendees. We would like to thank all those who helped make AsianPLoP 2020 a complete success!
