Tian Xia, Joseph Yoder, Rebecca Wirfs-Brock, Hironori Washizaki, “Improving Writer’s Workshop by Introducing Checklists and Perspectives,” Focused Group at 20th European Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs (EuroPLoP 2015), Kloster Irsee in Bavaria, Germany, July 11, 2015. (to appear)

In this focus group, a mini Writer’s Workshop will be conducted by us. During the WW, participants will review a software pattern paper by using some software reading technique (i.e. Checklist-based Reading and Perspectives-based reading) provided by us. We also expect to have a discussion to get comments from participants on our current work and find out some possible future work. Participants who join this focus group could have an experience on using a new method to review pattern papers and discuss more about how to improve Writer’s Workshop. Also, we believe that our research could help participants in their future work by showing some important issue in pattern writing.
