[Leszek A. Maciaszek]

ENASE 2008 (4 - 7 MAY 2008, FUNCHAL, MADEIRA - PORTUGAL)
3rd International Conference on Evaluation of Novel Approaches to 
Software Engineering
http://www.enase.org

IMPORTANT DATES:
Paper Submissions:       November 9, 2007
Acceptance Notifications: January 4, 2008
Camera-ready Submissions: January 25, 2008

ENASE 2007 will be held in conjunction with WEBIST 2008

ENASE provides a yearly forum for researchers and practitioners to 
review and evaluate relatively new and original in conception SE 
methods, practices, architectures, technologies and tools. An important 
underpinning and assumption of ENASE is that in software engineering 
"novel" turns out frequently to be just new hype. An objective of ENASE 
is to reveal any such hype as soon as feasible. This means that ENASE 
does not exclude more traditional approaches to software development and 
integration. On the contrary, ENASE endeavors to compare novel with 
traditional, also to discover if novel is not just traditional in 
disguise. Consequently, ENASE accepts also papers concentrating on a 
critique of more established and popular SE approaches.

Accordingly, ENASE undertakes to provide fast but careful scientific and 
empirical evaluation of new as well as more established approaches to 
software engineering. Of particular interest are experience reports and 
evaluations (qualitative and quantitative) of existing approaches as 
well as new ideas and proposals for improvements. The conference 
solicits experiments, case studies, surveys, meta-analyses, empirical 
studies, systematic reviews, conceptual explorations, innovative ideas, 
critical appraisals, etc. related to:
* agile software development,
* aspect-oriented software development,
* agent-oriented software engineering,
* multi-agent systems,
* model-driven engineering,
* component-based software engineering,
* evolutionary design,
* intentional software,
* example centric programming,
* meta programming systems,
* knowledge management and engineering,
* architectural design and meta architectures,
* business process management, engineering and reengineering,
* process-centric paradigms,
* service-oriented architectures,
* application integration technologies,
* enterprise integration strategies and patterns,
* e-business technologies,
* requirements engineering frameworks and models,
* collaborative requirements management systems,
* business and software modeling languages,
* software quality management,
* software change and configuration management,
* geographically distributed software development environments,
* cross-feeding between data engineering and software engineering,
* design thinking as a paradigm for software development,
* formal methods,
* software process improvement,
* metamodelling,
* software development methodologies

All papers will be published in the ENASE 
Proceedings, under an ISBN reference, in paper and in CD-ROM support. 
Proceedings will be indexed by ISI Proceedings, Inspec, and DBLP 
bibliographies. A book including a selection of the best papers 
will be edited and published by Springer.
