'''The Hillside Group''' is an educational nonprofit organization established in August 1993.<ref>http://hillside.net/home/history</ref> The Hillside Group was formed to help software developers to consider and document common development and design problems in the form of [[Design pattern (computer science)|patterns]].

==History==
==History==
In August of 1993, Kent Beck and Grady Booch sponsored a mountain retreat in Colorado where a group converged on foundations for software patterns. Ward Cunningham, Ralph Johnson, Ken Auer, Hal Hildebrand, Grady Booch, Kent Beck and Jim Coplien struggled with Alexander's ideas and our own experiences to forge a marriage of objects and patterns. The Group agreed that we were ready to build on Erich Gamma's foundation work studying object-oriented patterns, to use patterns in a generative way in the sense that Christopher Alexander uses patterns for urban planning and building architecture. We then used the term ''generative'' to mean ''creational'' to distinguish them from ''Gamma patterns'' that captured observations. The Group was meeting on the side of a hill when all this occurred, hence the name.<ref> http://hillside.net/home/history</ref>

[[Ward Cunningham]], [[Ralph Johnson (computer scientist)|Ralph Johnson]], [[Ken Auer]], [[Hal Hildebrand]], Grady Booch, Kent Beck, and [[Jim Coplien]] examined architect [[Christopher Alexander]]'s work in [[pattern language]] and their own experiences as software developers to combine the concepts of objects and patterns and apply them to writing computer programs.

The Hillside Group is an educational nonprofit organization founded in August 1993 to help software developers analyze and document common development and design problems as software design patterns. The Hillside Group supports the patterns community through sponsorship of the Pattern Languages of Programs conferences.[1][2]

History

[edit]

In August 1993, Kent Beck and Grady Booch sponsored a mountain retreat in Colorado where a group converged on foundations for software patterns. Ward Cunningham, Ralph Johnson, Ken Auer, Hal Hildebrand, Grady Booch, Kent Beck, and Jim Coplien examined architect Christopher Alexander's work in pattern language and their own experiences as software developers to combine the concepts of objects and patterns and apply them to writing computer programs. The group agreed to build on Erich Gamma's study of object-oriented patterns, but to use patterns in a generative way in the sense that Alexander uses patterns for urban planning and architecture. They used the word generative to mean creational, to distinguish them from Gamma's patterns' that captured observations. The group was meeting on the side of a hill, which led them to name themselves the Hillside Group.[1]

Since then, the Hillside Group has been incorporated as an educational non-profit organization. It sponsors and helps run Pattern Languages of Programs (PLoP) conferences[3] such as PLoP, EuroPlop, ChiliPlop, GuruPLoP, Asian PLoP, Scrum PLoP, Viking PLoP and Sugarloaf PLoP. The Hillside Group has also worked on the Pattern Languages of Program Design series of books.[1]

Activities

[edit]

The Hillside Group sponsors the Pattern Languages of Programs conferences in various countries, including the U.S., Brazil, Norway, Germany, Australia, and Japan. The Hillside Group assisted in publishing the Pattern Languages of Program Design book series until 2006.[4][5][6] Since 2006, The Hillside Group has published patterns and conference proceedings through the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Digital Library.[7]

Patterns Library

[edit]

The Hillside Patterns Library contains a comprehensive archive of patterns developed by the community, either directly or indirectly through the PLoP conferences.[8]

Conferences

[edit]

The Hillside Group sponsors the conferences listed.[9] The conferences focus on writing patterns, workshops, and invited talks related to pattern development. Most of the conferences are held annually and encourage attendees to submit papers pre-conference for inclusion in the writer's workshops. The papers undergo a shepherding process, where they are analyzed and evolved before conference attendance.
