• Return from EuroPLoP 2005
  
  First , much to my surprise, I was award the 2005 Neil Harrison Shepherding Award. Next : there where several analysis patterns at the conference, including a couple in my workshop. Didi Schutz asked me: “Are Analysis Patterns really Patterns?” I think we all tend to accept Analysis Patterns as Patterns but I’m no longer sure they are Patterns. pattern should tell me what to build, it should tell me how to go about building it, the pattern is named after what you build. Therefore, how can you have a pattern about this?

• Patterns and story telling
  
  Now to pick up one of my regular themes: Patterns. think there is a link between Patterns (Alexander, Coplien, Vlissides, PLoPs, etc.) intend to write more about his in future - probably in the prelude to some pattern paper, most likely for EuroPLoP 2006 but I’ll preview my reasoning here. Patterns are really stories. If you look at the work of Alexander, Rising and even my own recent stuff you find that the patterns start with a short example - actually a story. My patterns still have an explicit formalism. Both Patterns and Stories are about change.

• Skunkworks teams for innovation
  
  If you want to know more about this method you could read Coplien and Harrison's Skunkworks pattern and in their book, Organizational Patterns of Agile Software Development , 2005. I have also discussed the technique in pattern form, Separate Imaginative Teams.) Continuing on the theme of innovation, there is another common technique used by companies to produce innovation. Often it used to develop somebody's innovative idea and is sometimes used to generate innovative ideas as well. Sometimes these teams are kept secret.

• Getting ready for EuroPLoP
  
  It is the annual European Patterns Language Conference - otherwise known as EuroPLoP. The original PLoP conference still happens outside Chicago in September every year, and yes the name is deliberate - Pattern Languages of Programming but they chose something that sounded a little funny, thus “Plop.” The authors know the patterns best, my job is to help them with the “pattern” bit in such a way that they tease out a better pattern. As to my own patterns, well, they have nothing to do with programming any more. be expressed would patterns.

• Encapsulate Context becomes Encapsulated Context.
  
  The naming of patterns can be a tricky business. My first proper pattern, Encapsulate Context , didn't follow these rules. In fact, there was a lot of debate over the pattern name, if I remember rightly. Earlier this year, I submitted the pattern to the editors of the forthcoming patterns book Pattern Languages Of Program Design (Volume 5). The pattern was anonymously peer reviewed by two other writers, and in the best tradition of anonymous review one of these thought the name was fine, and the other one wanted a radical change.

• VikingPLoP
  
  This week is VikingPLoP – the Scandinavian patterns conference. For me there are two notable things about this PLoP and the patterns we’re reviewing. First VikingPLoP has a dedicated “Business patterns” stream. Business patterns have been around for a long time but they’ve been a real niche. In the past business patterns have usually been very IT related, I’ve tried to tackle this head on by going for the big issues in business – strategy, marketing, and operations. It feels like business patterns are coming of age. Pattern quality is important.

I’ve had my first comment on my Blog - bit of a thrill, it means someone is reading me!
