Prepare Software Engineers to the changing world and make them able to drive these changes

Tasks

Standardization

• Build “AI for SE” Industry Development Roadmap
• Create a Framework to itemize Tasks of Software Engineering Areas
• Prepare the “AI for SE” Landscape (existing Solutions)
• Set Standards and Methodologies for related Tools and Processes
• Work out Recommendations for Implementation of “AI for SE” Projects
• Collect and describe Best Practices and Ready-for-Intelligentization Scenarios
• Provide Test Data for new Solutions/Startups to validate their Models

Collaboration

• Establish a Single Platform for Interchange of Best Practices, Ideas and Contacts
• Host Events (Conferences, Meetups, Hackathons, Webinars etc.)
• Enable Presentment and Discussion of new Services and Products
• Crowdsource to identify main Pain Points related to Software Engineering, collect all Requests for Software Engineering Intelligentization and new Ideas for what and how can be improved
• Provide an Ability to promptly find Experts in the particular Subject Matter

Development

• Support existing Open Source Projects, initiate the creation of new Projects; systematize them and prepare Recommendations for its usage
• Generate Industry Innovations
• Define Ways of Society Development Intensification through Software Engineering Technologies Development
• Initiate and conduct Researches
• Trigger new Intelligentization Projects by matching Tasks and Solutions

Education

• Create Engineer Development Plan “The Software Engineer of Tomorrow” for next Professions: Software Business/System Analyst, Software Developer/Engineer, Software QA Engineer, IT Project Manager, Software Sales Manager, Software UI Designer
• Compile Courses for Software Engineers to meet the upcoming Requirements
• Popularize the Subject among Students by involving them in Practical Projects

Target Audience

Everybody, who is related to Software Engineering and/or Artificial Intelligence.

Also, people who are neither first nor second, but want to make the world better and still don’t know how (as this is a good way to start).

If you feel you share the same vision, join the AIFORSE Community and get involved in the incredible journey to the new Era of Society Functioning.
