*Mission***
The mission of ENASE working 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 entrenched 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.

*Conference Format*
There will be full and poster papers. Each full paper will be a 
presentation, followed by a debate (poster papers will be available for 
viewing and discussions). The conference will include panels on selected 
themes. The panels will consist of 3-4 panel position papers followed by 
question/answer sessions. Each day, following the paper presentations, 
the Advocatus Diaboli (AD) Forum will take place. Renowned experts will 
be invited as devil's advocates and the "court" proceedings on 
"canonization" of novel approaches will be conducted.

*Topics of Interest*
Topics of interest include theoretical and/or empirical contributions 
related to novel approaches to software engineering. Of particular 
interest are experience reports and evaluations (qualitative and 
quantitative) of existing approaches as well as ideas and proposals for 
improvements or for brand new approaches. Of various software qualities, 
the working conference emphasizes software adaptiveness 
(understandability, maintainability and scalability). The working 
conference solicits experiments, case studies, surveys, metaanalyses, 
empirical studies, systematic reviews, conceptual explorations, 
innovative ideas, critical appraisals, etc. related to:

. Software product and process improvement
. Agile software development practices and methodologies
. Aspect-oriented software development
. Model driven engineering
. Component-based software engineering
. Web services and service-oriented architectures
. Business process management and process-centric paradigms
. Multi-agent systems and agent-oriented software engineering
. Generative software development
. Meta programming systems and language workbenches
. Knowledge-based systems engineering
. Architectural design and meta-architectures
. Enterprise integration strategies and patterns
. Frameworks and models on requirements engineering
. Cross-feeding between data and software engineering
. Design thinking as a paradigm for software development
. Amalgamation of applications and data sources
. Team based distributed software production
. Other novel approaches and lifecycle models
. New paradigms, theories, practices, methods, architectures, 
technologies, tools, metrics
