Enase 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 Advocatus Diaboli (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.

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
