*THEME OF THE WORKSHOP*

   As software increases in size and becomes more complex and costly, the
need for techniques to ease software development is likewise increasing.
Over the last decade, pattern community has evolved and received more
interest in both academia and industry. Developing software using patterns
holds the promise to reduce the cost and condensing the time of developing
software systems, while simultaneously maintaining the quality of these
systems.

However, the potential of using patterns in developing systems is not
fully realized and we need to address many challenges. For example,
developing pattern repositories and catalogs, from which patterns can be
retrieved and reused, still forms a challenge to software engineering,
knowledge engineering and information systems communities. In addition, the
need for (semi-) automated approaches for patterns mining and integration
poses several open research questions to the software engineering community.
Many think these challenges and others preclude the realization of the
benefit of patterns as a reuse approach. This workshop aims at bringing
together researchers and practitioners who are interested in resolving
research challenges or who have practical experience with the different
issues of patterns reuse and integration to discuss and advance the
state-of-the-art and the state-of-the-practice in patterns reuse.

Patterns have emerged as a promising reuse technique for both improving
the quality and reducing the cost and time of software development. However,
there is an immense belief that patterns have not fulfilled the expectations
software developers wanted. Nevertheless, this belief does not rebuff the
fact that patterns, as a concept, have the potential to play a key role in
developing systems in the near future. This near future will never come
unless there are serious attempts from both developers and researchers to
investigate and provide creative solutions to current challenges that hinder
utilizing patterns in practice. Among these challenges, this workshop
focuses on investigating how to develop systems using patterns. We are sure
that this topic will attract many developers and researchers in the field to
participate in this workshop.

   *WORKSHOP CHALLENGES*

The workshop will address software patterns challenges and debate several
issues related to the following questions. We want researchers, framework
developers, and application developers to discuss and debate the following
questions related to:

*I. **Pattern Creation and Development*

a. Leaving experience claim on the side, can you show how to create
and develop patterns?
b. What are the bases of creating patterns?
c. Are there guidelines, methodologies, and/or processes for
pattern creations and developments?
d. Would you show an example or two?

*II. **Patterns Selection Process: *

a. How does one select analysis and design patterns to build any
system?
b. What is the basis for selecting these patterns?
c. If someone would like to build a system from patterns, how does
she select patterns?
d. What kind of patterns should one select to build a system from
patterns?
e. Is there a guideline for the selection process?

*III. **Patterns Composition*

a. How does one integrate the selected patterns to build any
system? or How does one compose any system from patterns?
b. What are the various claims related to patterns composition? Are
they true?
c. Are there guidelines or techniques for patterns composition?
Would you illustrate how to use them?

*IV. **System of Patterns and General Reuse*

a. What do we mean when we say "systems of patterns"?
b. Are the various claims related to building any system from
patterns reasonable?
c. How to develop pattern repositories and catalogs, from which
patterns can be retrieved and reused?
d. Are there automated approaches for patterns mining and
integration?
e. What other concepts will help build any system from patterns?

*V. **Impacts*

a. What is the impact of software stability on the above issues?
