| Abstract | Welcome to PLoP09, the 16th Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs, a premier event for pattern authors and pattern enthusiasts to gather, discuss and learn more about patterns, pattern writing, pattern reviewing, shepherding, software development, collaboration, and more, much more. To accomplish this, the conference program offers a rich set of activities that altogether promote a friendly and effective environment to share expertise, and to give and get feedback from fellow authors. The pre-conference activities start Thursday morning at the BootCamp, a special session aimed at people new to patterns and/or PLoP, led by Robert Hanmer and Linda Rising. Writers' Workshops are the primary focus of our time at PLoP and it will be during them that we will discuss and review each other's papers in a very fruitful way. We have four groups of five papers each, which were selected from an initial set of around 40 submissions, and after a considerable period of shepherding. Papers of the Writing Group will have in addition the opportunity of being evolved during PLoP with the mentoring of experienced pattern writers. We are excited to have three Invited Talks which will be time to get inspired and energized by the words and thoughts of Dr. Alistair Cockburn as he discusses "Making use of Context, Side-Effects and Overdose Effects in Larger Collections of Patterns," then we hear from Dave West as he speaks on "Transcendence and Passing Through the Gates," followed by Brian Foote and Joseph Yoder as they explore "Big Balls of Mud: Is This the Best that Agile Can Do?" But there is more. Other activities, such as the 'Birds of a Feather' (BoF), let you informally organize your own session about topics you are interested in, or to attend already organized working sessions. Just announce them or subscribe to them! We also have an Interactive Pattern Story workshop, a discussion of where patterns might be headed in the future (Is it True?), and an opportunity to learn Social Interaction Patterns and help the authors of the forthcoming book on that topic. After the conference, the papers are strongly encouraged to be further evolved in order to accommodate the suggestions for improvement gathered during the discussions at the conference. A final version of evolved papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library as PLoP 2009 Proceedings. And last but not least, we have Games, a well-established and very important activity at PLoP. Guided by George Platts on Friday, the games will help us all on ice-breaking, to exercise our body and mind, to collaborate better, and to reinforce a community of trust. Some of the games have become 'traditions', while others will be a surprise. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
