GuruPLoP 2014

The Indian pattern conference GuruPLoP
is an excellent venue to meet pattern experts and to exchange knowledge about patterns.

The conference helps you to learn more about patterns, to receive feedback on
your own work, and to discuss with fellow pattern enthusiasts.

We especially encourage new-comers, academic and non-academic pattern enthusiasts to participate in the conference. Open and supportive atmosphere makes GuruPLoP a great opportunity to get familiar with patterns and the patterns community.

Some of you have had the opportunity to write and workshop patterns at one of the many PLoP conferences held in the world.

Others will have heard about patterns, and even used them in your professional work, but have yet to commit your own insights to paper and submit them for mentored development.

GuruPLoP offers two complementary experiences:

1 - If you are new to patterns you can learn all about pattern discovery and pattern writing.

2 - If you are an author you will gain the opportunity to workshop your work and gain the feedback and support that will enhance your work and bring it to the attention of the world.

“We use patterns in customer relations, marketing, and business processes. They are important enough to our company that we sent a team of eight from Japan to the US for the most recent PLoP conference.”
