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.
<a name="goals"></a><div class="texttype2">GOALS AND TOPICS OF INTEREST</div>
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 accepts also 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:
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
ENASE 2011 will have several invited keynote speakers, who are internationally recognized experts in their areas. Their names are not yet confirmed.
PAPER FORMATS, SUBMISSIONS AND PUBLICATIONS
The conference will accept regular papers and position papers.
Authors should submit an original paper in English, carefully checked for correct grammar and spelling, using the on-line submission procedure. The guidelines for paper formatting provided at the conference website ought to be used for all submitted papers. The preferred submission format is the same as the camera-ready format. Please check and carefully follow the instructions and templates provided.
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. The authors are required to follow the reviews in order to improve their paper before the camera-ready submission.
Regular papers should be original research work, present analysis of data and discussion of research findings. Regular papers must not exceed 12 A4-size pages. As in previous ENASE conferences, the acceptance rate for regular papers will be at or below 30%. We invite two types of regular papers:
Position papers should relate to an ongoing research or experience. Position papers must not exceed 8 A4-size pages. Time allowed, position papers will be presented by the authors alongside regular 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. We invite two types of position papers:
All ENASE regular and position papers will be published in time for the conference in the proceedings, produced by INSTICC under an ISBN reference, in paper and in CD-ROM form (the CD-ROM will be shared with ICEIS). The proceedings will be indexed by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index. INSPEC and EI has indexed past (since 2008) ENASE proceedings and the proceedings of ENASE 2011 will be evaluated for indexation after their publication.
After the conference, a book containing most or all ENASE regular papers (modified and extended) will be edited and published as post-proceedings by Springer in the CCIS (Communications in Computer and Information Science) series.
ENASE 2011 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, on paper and on CD-ROM. Details of what is expected of workshop proposal submissions will be available in the separate Call for Workshops on the ENASE website.
