Evaluation of Novel Approaches to Software Engineering

5th International Conference on Evaluation of Novel Approaches to Software Engineering

                        Website: http://www.enase.org

                             July 22 - 24, 2010 
                                Athens, Greece


ENASE 2010 will be held in conjunction with ICSOFT 2010
Hosted by the University of Piraeus
Proceedings indexed by THOMSON REUTERS - Conference Proceedings Citation Index, INSPEC, DBLP and EI (Awaiting confirmation of indexation)

Let me kindly inform you that ENASE 2010 is now welcoming the submission of position papers, whose deadline is set to March 29th. ENASE will be held in Athens, Greece, during 22 - 24 July 2010. The deadlines are:

> Position Paper Submission: March 29, 2010
> Authors Notification (position papers): April 26, 2010
> Final Position Paper Submission and Registration: May 3, 2010

A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. It is, nevertheless, important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims. A position paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research (bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the conference topic areas. The acceptance of a position paper is restricted to the categories of "short paper" or "poster", i.e. a position paper is not a candidate to acceptance as "full paper".
 
Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and CD-ROM support. 
We are still awaiting the confirmation of indexation by INSPEC, DBLP, Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index and EI.
A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes on Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) Series.
 
You may obtain further information at the conference Website (http://www.enase.org/). 
 
Don't hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.
 
Best regards,
Monica Saramago

Workshop on Trading Agent Design and Analysis (TADA 2010)
http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/conferences/tada2010/index.html

June 7th or 8th, 2010, Cambridge, MA
Held in conjunction with ACM Conference on Electronic Commerce (EC10)


**Submission Deadline: April 1, 2010**

Trading agents have become a prominent application area in Artificial Intelligence because of their potential benefits in electronic commerce, and because they present a stiff challenge to models of rational decision-making. A wide variety of trading scenarios and agent approaches have been studied, creating a broad and rich research area. This workshop will focus on the design and evaluation of trading agents. Papers on trading agent architectures, decision-making algorithms, theoretical analysis, empirical evaluations of agent strategies in negotiation scenarios, and game-theoretic analyses, are all within the scope of the workshop.


This workshop will be held in conjunction with the 2010 Trading Agent Competition (TAC-2010) http://www.sics.se/tac with finals held during the 11th ACM Conference on Electronic Commerce (EC-2010)  http://www.sigecom.org/ec10/, but paper submissions need not be directly related to TAC. In fact, we encourage submissions related to other trading scenarios.


**Important Dates and Deadlines**

Deadline for submission of full papers: April 1, 2010
Notification of acceptance/rejection: April 23, 2010
Early registration deadline for EC 2010: May 7, 2010

**********************************************************************

Artificial  Intelligence and  Symbolic Computation  are two  views and
approaches for automating  problem solving, in particular mathematical
problem solving.  The two  approaches are based  on heuristics  and on
mathematical  algorithmics, respectively. Artificial  Intelligence can
be  applied to Symbolic  Computation and  Symbolic Computation  can be
applied  to Artificial  Intelligence. Hence,  a wealth  of challenges,
ideas, theoretical insights and  results, methods and algorithms arise
in  the  interaction  of  the  two fields  and  research  communities.
Advanced tools of software technology and system design are needed and
a broad spectrum  of applications is possible by  the combined problem
solving power of the two fields.

Hence, the conference is in the center of interest and interaction for
various research communities:

 * Artificial Intelligence  * Logic
 * Symbolic Computation     * Software Technology 
 * Computer Algebra         * Semantic Web Technology
 * Automated Reasoning      * Mathematical Knowledge Management 
 * Formal mathematics       * Computer-based Math Teaching & Didactics
 * Machine Learning         * Computer-Supported Publishing 
 * Automated Discovery      * Language and System Design 
    
Topics
======

Topics of particular interest of the conference include:

  * AI in Symbolic Mathematical Computing
  * Computer Algebra Systems and Automated Theorem Provers
  * Symmetries in AI problems
  * Engineering, Industrial and Operations Research Applications
  * Foundations and Complexity of Symbolic Computation
  * Mathematical Modeling of Multi-Agent Systems
  * Implementations of Symbolic Computation Systems
  * Programming Languages for Symbolic Computation
  * Symbolic Computations for Expert Systems and Machine Learning
  * Symbolic Computation and Ontologies 
  * Logic and Symbolic Computing
  * Implementation and Performance Issues
  * Intelligent Interfaces
  * Symbolic Techniques for Document Analysis

Papers on  other topics  with links to  the above research  fields and
topics will also be welcomed for consideration.

Proceedings
===========

The proceedings of the conference will be published as a volume in the
series   Lecture   Notes   in   Artificial  Intelligence   (LNAI)   by
Springer-Verlag. Accepted papers will have to be prepared in LaTeX and
formatted according to the  requirements of the Springer's LNAI series
(the    corresponding   style   files    can   be    downloaded   from
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html  and  are  the same  for
LNCS and LNAI).   In addition to the  formal proceedings  published by
Springer,  we intend to  make online versions  of the published papers 
available from the conference website.

Submission
==========

Theoretical and applied research papers on all topics within the scope
of the conference are invited.  Submitted papers (in English) must not
exceed 15 pages  in length (in the LNCS style).  The title page should
contain the title,  author(s) with affiliation(s), e-mail address(es),
listing of keywords  and abstract plus the topics  from the above list
to which the paper is related. The program committee (PC) will subject
all  submitted papers  to a  peer review.  Theoretical papers  will be
judged  on their  originality  and contribution  to  their field,  and
applied papers  on the importance and originality  of the application.
Results must be original and have not been published elsewhere.
