[Leszek A. Maciaszek]

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.
