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

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.

CALL FOR PAPERS

The 8th International Workshop on

SERVICE-ORIENTED COMPUTING: AGENTS, SEMANTICS, AND ENGINEERING (SOCASE)

http://www.swin.edu.au/hosting/socase2010/

to be held at the 9th International Joint Conference on AUTONOMOUS AGENTS AND

MULTIAGENT SYSTEMS (AAMAS-2009) Toronto Canada, May 10-14 2010,

(http://www.cse.yorku.ca/AAMAS2010/)

 

IMPORTANT DATES

Please realize that we had to shorten the submission deadline by a week. For those who cannot make it till the 28 February we will still accept the paper till 7 March as long as we are informed about the possible paper submission till 28 February. The problem is that the AAMAS organizers need the final version of the papers by 28 February. Moreover, the deadline for early registration will end on 12 March. We will try our best to inform you about the outcome of our review process by 11 March but cannot guarantee that, especially not if we get the paper pretty late. Thus, be prepared to have to pay a slightly higher fee if you don't want to register for the workshop and AAMAS without knowing the result of the review process for your paper. Also, make sure that you can revise your paper till 28 March. This deadline cannot be extended any further.

 

Submission Deadline Acceptance Notification Final Version Submission Deadline Workshop held

28 Feb 2010 (7 March 2010 (see above)) 20 March 2010 27 March 2010 11 May 2010

 

DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this workshop is to present and discuss the recent significant developments at the intersections of Multi-agent Systems, Semantic Technology, and Service-oriented Computing, and to promote cross-fertilization of techniques. In particular, the workshop aims at identifying techniques from Multi-agent System and Semantic Technology research that will have the greatest impact on automating service-oriented application construction and management, focusing on critical challenges such as service quality assurance, reliability, and adaptability.

The Service-Oriented Computing: Agents, Semantics, and Engineering (SOCASE) workshop continues the theme of the previous SOCASE workshops successfully held at AAMAS’09, AAMAS’08 and AAMAS’07, the SOCABE workshops held at AAMAS’06, AAMAS’05 and the WSABE workshops held at AAMAS’04 and AAMAS’03, with an expanded theme reflecting the wide spectrum of issues of the cross section between agent-based and service-oriented paradigms.

 

TOPICS

We invite papers on all aspects relating to the overlap of Agent Technology, Semantic Web Services, and Service-oriented Computing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Agent-oriented architectures, frameworks, and infrastructures for distributed service-oriented software and Semantic Web systems

* Agent-oriented modeling and design methods and tools for service-oriented software and

Semantic Web development

* Web services and Semantic Web technologies and standards for multi-agent system design, development, and integration

* Agent-enabled adaptation, evolution, and optimization of services and processes

* Agent-based service description, advertisement, matchmaking, discovery, and brokering

* Agent-based service composition, orchestration, and choreography

* Agent-based monitoring and exception-handling for service execution and delivery

* Agent-based negotiation and management of Quality of Service and Service Level Agreements

* Deployment and distribution of agent-based service systems and service-oriented agent systems

* Agent-based service business models, application scenarios and demos (e.g. in e-Business, e-Science, Enterprise, Telecom, etc.), and lessons learned

* Ontology matching for service discovery, negotiation, orchestration, composition, and execution

* Ontology generation, hearing and reasoning, and ontology-oriented dynamic mediation among agents

 

SUBMISSION and PUBLICATION

Submission is to be done electronically. The detailed instructions are provided at the SOCASE'10 web page https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=socase10.

Contact Zakaria Maamar (Zakaria.Maamar@zu.ac.ae) for help if required.

Submitted papers have a page limit of 15 pages and should be formatted according to LNCS specification. Authors should submit the manuscript in PDF format. Instructions and templates can be found at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

Submissions will be peer-reviewed by three reviewers per paper. Selection criteria will include:

Relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, quality of presentation. Some preference may also be given to papers which address emergent trends or important common themes, or which enhance balance of workshop topics. Since this is associated with the AAMAS conference, accepted papers must be of real relevance to the multi-agent research community. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Similarly to the previous years the SOCASE 2010 post-proceedings will be published with Springer’s LNCS, subject to an appropriate number and quality of submissions. A selection of best papers will also be invited to submit extended and enhanced versions of the papers to a special issue of a major international journal.
