*** Deadline for Abstract Submission: 19 July 2018 ***


It is our pleasure to invite you to submit contributions and/or joins us at SugarLoaf-PLoP 2018 - Huaso Edition, the 12th Latin-American Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs <https://hillside.net/sugarloaf/2018/>, which will be held for first time in Chile.

The growing interest in patterns represents an effort to catalog and better communicate knowledge, providing handbooks of proven solutions to common problems.  SugarLoafPLoP brings together researchers, educators, and practitioners to discuss patterns on all aspects of software, including design and programming, software architecture, user interface design, domain modeling, software processes, project management, education, and more. SugarLoafPLoP invites you to add your expertise to the growing corpus of patterns.

** CONFERENCE TRACKS
The conference has several components:
- writers workshops, where participants refine and extend *patterns proposals* with the help from knowledgeable and sympathetic fellow pattern enthusiasts
- presentations of *papers about patterns*, e.g. applications in industry and academia
- free-format discussion groups or workshops focused on some hot topic related to patterns
- tutorials on specific topics
- invited speakers

We invite submissions to SugarLoafPLoP'18 - Huaso Edition, in three different formats:

(1) Pattern Papers: short papers containing one or more patterns, or longer papers containing pattern languages.  Papers will be reviewed by PC members, and accepted papers will be assigned an experienced pattern author as shepherd before the conference.  After shepherding, papers will channeled into a Writers Workshop or into a Writing Group, where they will receive additional face-to-face shepherding at the conference.

(2) Papers on Applying Patterns: regular papers that explore the use and application of patterns, such as using patterns in industry and academia, tools for using patterns, evaluation of productivity when using patterns, teaching and consulting with patterns, and so on. Authors from both industry practitioners and academics are welcome.

(3) Proposals for free-format discussion groups or workshops: descriptions of a a two-hour activity, indicating topic, intended audience and initial set of attendees. Non-conventional formats are welcome.

Submissions can be made in English, Spanish or Portuguese, but accepted papers in Spanish or Portuguese should be translated for inclusion in the ACM proceedings.

Additional suggestions or proposals for activities are welcome and encouraged. Please contact the chairs with your ideas.
