<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>About the Workshop</div><div>-----------------------</div><div><br></div><div>This workshop brings together researchers and industrial practitioners to exchange and discuss the latest innovative synergistic AI and SE techniques and practices. 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 can support the development of increasingly complex SE systems as in the case of recommendation systems. Conversely, in theory, SE might also play a role in alleviating development costs and the development effort associated with AI tools and applications such as robotics where proper development and testing practices are of utmost importance. 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:</div>
<div><br></div><div>Are SE and AI researchers ignoring important insights from AI and SE?</div><div><br></div><div>To answer this question, RAISE ’14 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.</div>
<div>We seek papers that are position statements that review current state of the art results as well as papers that will look over the horizon for discover future directions. Papers may either be regular research papers that will be published in the ICSE proceedings, or they may be “abstract only” and they would only be seen by workshop attendees, presented in brainstorming sessions and discussed in breakout groups.</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Topics of Interest</div><div>-----------------------</div><div><br></div><div>Prospective participants should submit either a state of the art position statement describing late-breaking research results or a research vision statement on one or more of the following perspectives.</div>
<div><br></div><div>1. Improving SE through AI – including but not limited to knowledge acquisition, knowledge representation, reasoning, agents, machine learning, machine-human interaction, planning and search, natural language understanding, problem solving and decision-making, understanding and automation of human cognitive tasks, AI programming languages, reasoning about uncertainty, new logics, statistical reasoning, software analytics, etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2. Applying AI to SE activities – including but not limited to requirements, design, specification, traceability, program understanding, model-driven development, testing and quality assurance, domain-specific software engineering, adaptive systems, software evolution, etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div>3. SE for AI – including but not limited to AI programming languages, program derivation techniques in AI domains, platforms and programmability, software architectures, rapid prototyping and scripting for AI techniques, software engineering infrastructure for reflective and self-sustaining systems, etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div>4. Deployed Applications of AI or SE – papers that describe a deployed SE application in AI domain or an AI application in SE domain including nut not limited to robotics software development and recommendation systems in SE, etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Submission</div><div>-----------------------</div><div><br></div><div>Submit papers (PDF) to <a href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=raise2014">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=raise2014</a> Submissions should be 5 to 7 pages long and can either be position statements that review state of the art results or a vision statement looking over the horizon. All papers are intended to be archival for publication in the ICSE Companion proceedings, however the authors may chose an abstract only publication of their work. If accepted, each paper will be presented in 15-20 minutes presentation sessions to stimulate discussion. Submissions must not be published or under review elsewhere, and conform to formatting using ACM Formatting Guidelines (<a href="http://2014.icse-conferences.org/format">http://2014.icse-conferences.org/format</a>). Submission length should not exceed the above page limits and all submissions must be in English.</div>
