Em Junho/2011, em parceria com meus alunos Fellipe Aleixo, Marilia Camara, Wanderson Santos e Daniel Alencar, apresentei um mini-curso sobre Linhas de Processo de Software no SBQS 2011 em Curitiba.Foi interessante para conhecer o trabalho dessa comunidade no Brasil, ja que apesar de ter trabalhado bastante nessa area durante periodo na Qualiti Software Processes, nao tinha contato com a comunidade de qualidade de software do Brasil (salvo raras interacoes via SBES). Neste trabalho buscamos a automacao do gerenciamento de variabilidades no dominio de processos de software e de negocio. Alguns artigos publicados do nosso grupo sao citados nos slides apresentados. Linhas de Processos de Software - Minicurso - SBQS 2011 View more presentations from Uira Kulesza 8th Latin American Conference on Pattern Languages of Programming SugarLoafPLoP'2010 http://sugarloafplop.dcc.ufba.br Salvador, Brazil, September 23-26, 2010 (Co-Located with CBSoft 2010) FIRST CALL FOR PAPERSSUBMISSION DEADLINES====================Submissions Due: 03 May 2010Shepherding Starts: 24 May 2010Shepherd recommendations due: 05 July 2010Notification of Acceptance: 08 July 2010Final Conference Copy Due: 19 July 2010Conference Dates: 23-26 September 2010THE CONFERENCE==============Software developers have long observed that certain patterns recur and endureacross different applications and systems. SugarLoafPLoP brings together researchers,educators, and practitioners whose interests span a remarkably broad range of topicsand who share an interest in exploring the power of the pattern form. The growing interestin patterns represents an effort to catalog and better communicate knowledge, providing handbooks of proven solutions to common problems. The purpose of SugarLoafPLoP is to promotedevelopment of patterns and pattern languages, primarily about aspects of software: design and programming,testing, software architecture, user interface design, domain modeling, and software processes.Patterns and pattern languages for domains outside software are also welcome.SugarLoafPLoP invites you to add your expertise to the growing corpus of patterns. SugarLoafPLoPfocuses on improving the expression of patterns. You will have the opportunity to refineand extend your patterns with the help from knowledgeable and sympatheticfellow pattern enthusiasts. You will also be able to discuss applications ofpatterns in industry and academia.Highlights of the conference include tutorials, invited speakers, andworkshops, all held at the beach at Salvador, Brazil, an area of great natural and cultural beauty.The SugarLoafPLoP'2010 program will be divided in three different tracks:* Writers' Workshop (WW) - papers that document patterns and pattern languages will be workshopped in the traditional PLoP format.* Pattern Applications (PA) - 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. Both practitioners from the software industry and academics are invited to submit to this track.* Writing Patterns (WP) - papers of newcomers who want to learn how to better elaborate an idea intended to evolve to a pattern or pattern language. This is more like a hands-on tutorial on writing patterns.PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS==============================Paper submissions will be performed via the online JEMS system (https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/) starting in early April, 2010. Papers can be written in English (preferred), Portuguese,or Spanish and must conform to the SBC (Brazilian Computer Society) style that will be available in the conference web site. Submissions should
