RAISE 2013 - 2nd International NSF sponsored Workshop on Realizing AI Synergies in Software Engineering (RAISE’13)

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and industrial practitioners to exchange and discuss the latest innovative synergistic AI and SE techniques and practices. Much of the innovation in the modern world is based on information technologies. Software engineering is now expected to solve a plethora of increasingly complex questions that are dynamic, automated, adaptive, or must execute on a very large scale.
In theory, other disciplines could better support SE. For example, AI technologies have the potential to support the development of increasingly complex SE systems. Conversely, in theory, SE might also play a role in alleviating development costs and the development effort associated with AI tools. In practice, this theoretical connection between SE and AI is rarely achieved. We believe that SE has much to offer AI about systems engineering and scalability of methodologies. Yet AI research rarely uses this work. All this begs the question:
Are SE and AI researchers ignoring important insights from AI and SE?
To answer this question, RAISE ’13 will be a crossover workshop where the state of the art in both fields is documented and extended. This workshop will explore not only the application of AI techniques to software engineering problems but also the application of software engineering techniques to AI problems.
