Welcome to the Web page for the Pattern Languages of Programs (PLoP) Conference! Here you'll find information about forthcoming and past PLoP conferences.

What is PLoP?

PLoP is different than other conferences. Its focus is improving the expression of patterns. Authors have the opportunity to refine and extend their patterns with help from knowledgeable and sympathetic fellow pattern enthusiasts. Follow this link to find out more.
