"Journal of Systems and Software" agreed to run a Special Issue based on the selection of best ENASE papers. The final distribution-version of the Call for Papers completed and the publicity campaign started.

September 2006
Quick summary by Leszek Maciaszek(General Chair of ENASE'2006):
I am happy to report that ENASE'2006 was a success and we are already planning for bigger (and maybe even better) ENASE'2007 in Barcelona in July 2007.
The Barcelona event will be a "working conference", rather than a workshop. It will run back-to-back with the 2nd International Conference on Software and Data Technologies (ICSOFT'2007; 22-25 July 2007). The General Chair of ENASE'2007 is Joaquim Filipe. After the success of the Advocatus Diaboli Forum in Erfurt, a similar but much extended forum with both sides of the court voicing their opinions, will be a highlight of ENASE'2007.
Hoping that you will be able to offer your help and wisdom to ENASE'2007, below is a short account of ENASE'2006:
The ENASE'2006 workshop started with the panel on “Architecture-based Methods Versus Agile-based Methods – Competition, Coexistence, Cooperation or Integration”. The panel was chaired by Mehmet Aksit (The Netherlands). Position papers were presented by: Ulrich Eisenecker (Germany), Joaquim Filipe (Portugal), Brian Henderson-Sellers (Australia) and Leszek Maciaszek (Australia).
Following the panel, the ENASE keynote speaker – Joaquim Filipe (Portugal) – presented the paper “Multi-Agent Systems: From Research to Business Applications” in a plenary session to all NODE'2006 conferences and workshops.
The acceptance rate for ENASE regular papers was circa 30%. Eleven papers were accepted and published prior to the workshop in Special Issue of “International Transactions on Systems Science and Applications” (Volume 1, Number 2, 2006) edited by Peri Loucopoulos (UK) and Kalle Lyytinen (USA). Ten papers were presented at the workshop and followed by questions and discussion. Six papers were presented on the first day, and four on the second day of the workshop. The papers were presented in four sessions. Session chairs were: Zbigniew Huzar (Poland), Lech Madeyski (Poland), Hans-Gerhard Gros (The Netherlands), and Robert Brown (Australia).
The second day opened with the Advocatus Diaboli Forum. The forum was chaired by Leszek Maciaszek. The devil’s advocates, who challenged selected novel SE approaches, were: Giuseppe Berio (Italy), Ulrich Eisenecker (Germany), Brian Henderson-Sellers (Australia), and Lech Madeyski with Wojciech Biela (Poland).
