[ecoop-info] ICSOFT 2007 Call for Papers and ENASE 2007 Call for Papers

Mon Dec 18 16:07:33 CET 2006

Dear Colleague,

We would like to draw your attention to the 2nd ICSOFT 2007 - International
Conference on Software and Data Technologies, which has currently an open
call for papers.

ICSOFT is now considered a prestigious world-class conference and a top
reference in its area. 

The yearly meeting place of top researchers and practitioners in Software
Engineering, Data Management, and applications related to Information
Technologies, ICSOFT is one of the largest conferences in the world in its
area organized in an yearly basis, where many top researchers are regularly
presenting their work. 

All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under
an ISBN reference, in paper and in CD-ROM support. Additionally, a selection
of the best papers of the conference will be published in a book, by
Springer.  Best paper awards will also be distributed during the ICSOFT-2007
conference.

ICSOFT 2007 will be held in Barcelona, Spain next year, on July 22-25 in
conjunction with ENASE 2007 (2nd International Working Conference on
Evaluation of Novel Approaches to Software Engineering) -
http://www.enase.org

Please check further details at the conference web site
(http://www.icsoft.org). There you will find detailed information about the
conference topic areas.

There you will also find information about ICSOFT satellite workshops that
may interest you.

Special sessions are also invited. If you wish to propose a special session,
please contact the secretariat.

Kind regards,

Mónica Saramago

ENASE 2007 (Barcelona 23-25 July 2007)

2nd International Working Conference on Evaluation of Novel Approaches to
Software Engineering http://www.enase.org

Organized by INSTICC

IMPORTANT DATES:

Full Paper Submission: March 26, 2007

Authors Notification: May 21, 2007

Final Paper Submission and Registration: May 31, 2007

ENASE 2007 will be held in conjunction with ICSOFT 2007

(http://www.icsoft.org)

Mission

The mission of ENASE (Evaluation of Novel Approaches to Software

Engineering) working conferences is to be a prime international forum to
discuss and publish research findings and IT industry experiences with
relation to evaluation of novel approaches to software engineering. By
comparing novel approaches with entrenched traditional practices and by
evaluating them against software quality criteria, ENASE conferences advance
knowledge and research in software engineering, identify most hopeful trends
and propose new directions for consideration by researchers and
practitioners involved in large-scale software development and integration.

Topics of Interest

Topics of interest include theoretical and/or empirical contributions
related to novel approaches to software engineering. Of particular interest
are experience reports and evaluations (qualitative and quantitative) of
existing approaches as well as ideas and proposals for improvements or for
brand new approaches. Of various software qualities, the working conference
emphasizes software adaptiveness (understandability, maintainability and
scalability). The working conference solicits experiments, case studies,
surveys, meta-analyses, empirical studies, systematic reviews, conceptual
explorations, innovative ideas, critical appraisals, etc. related to:

* Software product and process improvement

* Agile software development practices and methodologies (e.g. XP)

* Aspect-oriented software development

* Model driven engineering

* Software components and component-based software engineering

* Web services and service-oriented architectures

* Business process management and process-centric paradigms

* Multi-agent systems and agent-oriented software engineering

* Generative software development

* Evolutionary design

* Intentional software

* Example-centric programming

* Meta programming systems and language workbenches

* Competitive systems engineering

* Knowledge-based systems engineering

* Architectural design and meta-architectures

* Enterprise integration strategies and patterns

* Frameworks and models on requirements engineering

* Cross-feeding between data engineering and software engineering

* Design thinking as a paradigm for software development

* Amalgamation of applications and data sources

* Team based distributed software production

* Other novel approaches and lifecycle models

* New methodologies, practices, architectures, technologies, tools, metrics

Conference Format

There will be full and poster papers. Each full paper will be a
presentation, followed by a debate (poster papers will be available for
viewing and discussions).

The conference will include panels on selected themes. The panels will
consist of 3-4 panel position papers followed by question/answer sessions.

Each day, following the paper presentations, the Advocatus Diaboli (AD)
Forum will take place. Renowned experts will be invited as devil's advocates
and the "court" proceedings on "canonization" of novel approaches will be
conducted.

Conference Publications

All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under
an ISBN reference, in paper and in CD-ROM support.

A book including a selection of the best conference papers will be edited
and published by Springer. The book will include the papers and the
summaries of the AD Forum and the panels.

To coincide with ENASE, a special issue of Springer's Requirements
Engineering journal entitled "Software Engineering meets Requirements" 

will be published after the conference and will constitute a publication
opportunity for AD Forum contributions.
