AIFORSE Conference 2017 — the first global Conference on using Artificial Intelligence for Software Engineering. For the first time, it was held in Barcelona, Spain, on the 10th of November 2017.
The Leaders and Experts of Software Engineering (SE) and pioneer Innovators of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in SE met on the communication stage to discuss the ways for increasing the efficiency of the Software Engineering Operations and accelerating the Industry Development.
The following topics were covered: applying AI to Software Requirements Management, Code Construction, Testing, Software Maintenance and Project Management.
Meet Industry Pioneers.
Diego Lo Giudice, VP, Principal Analyst at Forrester, the Keynote Speaker, made a great introduction into the subject of the Conference with his speech “AI will change Applications and the way we build them. AI industry overview and future direction.”
“This is only the beginning of a big revolution that is starting pretty soon.”
Marcelo Novaes, Head of Product & Data Intelligence at source{d}, the Keynote Speaker, presented the most mature solutions among those which were introduced at the Event — open-source components that enable large-scale code analysis and machine learning on source code.
“Everyone was very technical and people are very engaged. We should be building this community moving forward.”
Earl T. Barr, Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) at University College London, presented results of his work “RefiNym: Learning Nominal Type Refinements from Identifier Names”.
“The Conference is highly focused on talking about how we can apply AI to solve Software Engineering problems. We made a good first step.”
Vitalii Buriak, Business Development Manager at Memorio.io, presented a concept solution for how AI can be used to manage Software Documentation.
“The Industry is very young so it’s pretty challenging to launch new startups in the greenfield. Having events like this helps much in promoting the Industry itself.”
