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 be in PDF format. Papers published at the Writers' Workshop track of this conference are qualified forsubmission to the new journal "Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming" published by Springer.See http://hillside.net/tplop/ and http://www.springer.com/home/computer/lncs?SGWID=5-164-2-470309-0 for details of this journal.ORGANIZATION============General Chairs:   Christina von Flach Chavez (DCC/UFBA, Brazil)                              Claudio Sant'Anna (DCC/UFBA, Brazil)Program Co-Chairs:  Rebecca Wirfs-Brock (Wirfs-Brock Associates, USA)                                       Uira Kulesza (DIMAp/UFRN, Brazil)Local Organization:  Christina von Flach Chavez (DCC/UFBA, Brazil)                                    Claudio Sant'Anna (DCC/UFBA, Brazil) (DCC/UFBA, Brazil)                                    Leandro José Silva Andrade (DCC/UFBA, Brazil)PROGRAM COMMITTEE (to be confirmed and extended)=================Claudia Werner (COPPE/UFRJ, Brazil)Dick Gabriel (Sun Microsystems, USA)Eugene Wallingford (University Northern Iowa, USA)Fabio Kon (IME/USP, Brazil)Gustavo H.
