(2024-10-22) Wirfs-Brock: Live Your Patterns Life After PLoP-2024

Rebecca Wirfs-Brock: Rebecca’s Web – Live your patterns! Life after PLoP 2024. The 31st Pattern Languages of Programs, People, and Practice (PLoP) conference is a wrap! PLoP brings together practitioners and researchers who share an interest in exploring the power of patterns.

Originally, PLoP conferences focused on software-related patterns and pattern languages. Over the years the topics being written about has expanded. This year we renamed our conference to reflect that our patterns focus on all aspects of the built world

We accepted 30 patterns papers. If your paper was accepted, instead of giving a talk about it, it was discussed and reviewed in a small, supportive writing group. We grouped papers into writing workshops according to a common theme. This year's themes were: improving life; effective writing; learning and education; software development and engineering; and AI architectures, use, and implications

After the conference, authors can choose to update their paper and have it published in our archived conference proceedings. Authors retain the copyright to their work.

The theme of our conference this year was "Live your patterns." So what happens next is up to you.
