Technical Track @ 47th EUROMICRO SEAA Conference in Palermo / Italy

AI-Enabled Software Development and Operations (AI4DevOps)

September 1-3, 2021

Motivation: Software engineering increasingly takes advantage of the ability to collect, process, analyze and visualize large quantities of data originating from the development and operations (DevOps) of software applications, products, and services. We see a rise of AI techniques being employed to leverage this data. Examples include deep learning to facilitate accurate classification and prediction, transfer learning to enable cross-system/-project/-organizational knowledge exchange, and reinforcement learning to provide advanced autonomous planning and thereby empower a new class of self-learning, self-optimizing and self-adapting software systems. AI thus enables us to take the next step in excelling in software development and operations by delivering smarter software monitoring, analytics, development and management techniques, methods and tools. The track is an integral part of the 47th Euromicro Conference on Software Engineering and Advanced Applications (SEAA) 2021.

Mission: This track will look at AI-enabled techniques, methods and tools for software development and operations. In particular, we will explore the opportunities and challenges of using AI for software engineering, serving as a forum for the exchange of ideas, solutions and experiences among researchers and practitioners from communities, such as software analytics, quality assurance and testing, software processes, software visualization, human-computer interaction, adaptive systems, AI, data management, and machine learning.

Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

• Methods, tools, applications and lessons learned of AI for software engineering
• AI-enabled requirements engineering, planning, coding, building and testing
• AI-enabled release, deployment, monitoring and dynamic adaptation
• Data-driven AI (machine learning) and big data analytics for DevOps
• Self-adaptive, self-optimizing and self-learning software systems
• Explainable and Compliant AI in the context of DevOps
• AI-driven continuous testing and experimentation
• Software and data life-cycle management
• Integrated software and data engineering
• New applications for deep learning, advanced analytics and reasoning
• Predictive methods and estimation in software development, operations, and evolution
• Software visualization and visual analytics
• Risk management in software and systems development projects
• Empirical studies and experience reports about successful or unsuccessful applications of the aforementioned topics
