Subject: Re: Complete PLoP '96 Schedule and Program Date: Mon, 26 Aug 1996 12:24:35 -0500 From: "Douglas C. Schmidt" <schmidt@cs.wustl.edu> To: plop96@p300.cpl.uiuc.eduHi, I got the following question today: > I'm a first time attendee at PLOP (I'm not an author). When it comes > to the workshop sessions, do you select a track such as "Design > Patterns" and stick with that track throughout the conference or can > you jump between tracks?Since the answer is relevant to other PLoP attendees I'm posting my response here. In general, we would prefer that non-authors stick with a single track since it helps them establish rapport with other attendees and keeps the size of the sessions more manageable. However, some movement between tracks is ok, as long as 1. You are respectful of the other groups (i.e., please don't go barging asking for clarification of issues that were discussed at length earlier)In any case, we *strongly* suggest that you read the papers for sessions you'd like to attend. This will greatly improve your experience at PLoP since you'll be able to appreciate the discussions more fully. BTW, this information is summarized at the following URL: http://www.cs.wustl.edu/ ... 6/workshops.htmlIn addition, I'll be posting a set of guidelines for writer's workshops to the list shortly. If you have any questions, please let me know, Doug
