MISSION AND MOTIVATION
The mission of the ENASE (Evaluation of Novel Approaches to Software Engineering) 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 established 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. An innovative idea and important highlight of all ENASE conferences is the Advocatus Diaboli Forum (ADF).
GOALS AND TOPICS OF INTEREST
ENASE provides a yearly forum for researchers and practitioners to review and evaluate emerging as well as established 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 also accepts papers concentrating on a critique of more traditional and entrenched SE approaches.
Against that background, 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
- software development methodologies
- aspect-oriented software development
- agent-oriented software engineering
- multi-agent systems
- model-driven engineering
- component-based software engineering
- meta programming systems and meta-modeling
- Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) systems
- knowledge management and engineering
- architectural design and meta architectures
- business process management, engineering and reengineering
- process-centric paradigms
- service-oriented architectures
- service science, management and engineering

PAPER FORMATS, SUBMISSIONS AND PUBLICATIONS
The conference will accept full papers and short papers.
Full papers should be original research work, present analysis of data and discussion of research findings. Full papers must not have been previously published or submitted for publication. Full papers must not exceed 10 A4-size pages. As in previous ENASE conferences, the acceptance rate for full papers will be at or below 30%.
Short papers should relate to an ongoing research or experience. Time allowed, short papers will be presented by the authors alongside full papers. Alternatively, they will be placed in the category of poster papers available for viewing and discussions. Some short papers may be submitted as demo papers and presented as demonstrations of software tools and products. They should be describing non-for-profit software tools and in a prototype-, alpha-, or beta-version. Short papers must not exceed 6 A4-size pages.
Papers should be submitted using the on-line submission procedure briefly described below. The guidelines for paper formatting provided at the conference website must be strictly used for all submitted papers. The submission format is the same as the camera-ready format. The Program Committee will review all papers and the contact author (the author who submits the paper) of each paper will be notified of the result, by e-mail.
PDF format is preferred for the papers but LaTeX/PS/DOC/DOCX/RTF formats will be also accepted. The web submission facility automatically sends an acknowledgement, by e-mail, to the contact author. Please contact the secretariat if no acknowledgement is received. If the author is unable to use the web-based procedure then he/she can send the paper by e-mail to the secretariat attaching an additional file with contact information and paper related topics.
Due to space limitations in the Proceedings, the camera-ready versions of accepted papers will be limited to 10 (ten) pages for full presentations and 6 (six) for short presentations. If absolutely needed, the number of pages may be increased up to a maximum of 14 pages (long presentations) and 10 pages (poster and demo presentations). However, for each page in excess of the maximum allowed, the author will have to pay an additional fee.
All ENASE full and short papers will be published in time for the conference in the proceedings, produced by INSTICC under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM form (the CD-ROM will be shared with ICSOFT). The proceedings of ENASE 2007 and 2008 are indexed by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index, and EI has already indexed the proceedings of ENASE 2008.
After the conference, a book containing all ENASE full papers (modified and extended) will be edited and published as post-proceedings by Springer-Verlag in the CCIS (Communications in Computer and Information Science) series.
SATELLITE EVENTS
ADVOCATUS DIABOLI FORUM (ADF)
The Advocatus Diaboli Forum "court proceedings" play an important role in the mission of the ENASE conferences. The ADF is directly inspired by an ancient, now discarded, mechanism within the Catholic Church whereby a so-called "Devil's Advocate" (AD) would assemble a prosecution case against candidates for canonization to sainthood. The AD was not required to necessarily believe the prosecution case they prepared, but was required to list every possible reason to reject the candidate's elevation. Proponents for canonization would then mount a defense, addressing each of the points raised by the AD.
Consistently with the motivating philosophy of ENASE conferences, the main agenda for ADF-s is defined as to adversarially assess claims to novelty and utility for selected software engineering approaches or perspectives. For ADF at ENASE 2010 the perspective on trial is SOSE (Service Oriented Software Engineering).
WORKSHOPS
ENASE 2010 invites workshop proposals. Workshops are intended to serve as intensive collaborative and highly-interactive meetings. ENASE provides an opportunity for organizing workshops on any of the themes listed in the "Topics of Interest" or any cross-section of these themes.
All accepted workshop papers will be published in the ENASE Proceedings, under an ISBN reference, in paper and in CD-ROM.
RESEARCH STUDENTS FORUM (RSF)
ENASE 2010 will feature the Research Students Forum (RSF). The forum will accept papers authored by students, most likely PhD students. Papers will be evaluated along the usual conference criteria and must clearly address the evaluation spirit of the conference, focusing on the appraisal or assessment of a novel approach to software engineering or on a critique of a popular approach.
The RSF recognizes that what research students usually lack in their initial stages are the research techniques and "best practices" that more seasoned academics often have at their disposal (or should have). We are referring to the ability to:
- Formulate a well-defined research question and express it concisely.
- Differentiate between what can be done from what should be done (i.e. find a rationale for their interests).
- Avoid making bold statements, back their claims with facts or other research and construct evidence from analytical reasoning and/or empirical observation.
- Communicate in a clear and simple way, avoiding unnecessary phrases and obscure language constructs.
The RSF will inevitably bring the above issues forward by the very nature of ENASE, i.e. 'evaluation of novelty approaches'.
All accepted RSF papers will be published in the main
ENASE Proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support. Details of what is expected of papers submitted by research students to the RSF will be available in the separate
Call for RSF Papers on the ENASE website.
