Reporting workshop in Gothenburg
June 12 @ 09:30 - 17:00
In Software Center, companies and universities work together to accelerate the adoption of novel approaches to software engineering. The reporting workshop takes place twice a year, in June and December.
This event aims at sharing results from research and cooperation within Software Center, including activities in the competence center CoDig, hosted by Software Center. The day before the reporting workshop there is an additional interactive workshop where you have the opportunity to discuss technical challenges with the Software Center projects, more information here >>
The agenda for the reporting workshop ranges from keynote presentations to in-depth sessions for themes and projects. The cooperation between academia and companies in Software Center creates the software engineering success stories that industry needs.

Agenda, June 12, Gothenburg:
09.30 – 10.00: Registration and coffee
10:00-10:15: Opening: Jan Bosch
10:15-11:00: Engineering AI Systems: Keynote presentation by Ingo Weber, Professor at Technical University of Munich
This keynote talk is based on a recent book: “Engineering AI Systems: Architecture and Devops Essentials”, Addison-Wesley 2025. The main argument of this book is that the behavior and quality of software systems that use Artificial Intelligence (AI) stems from the AI part, the traditional software part, and the interactions between both. Achieving high-quality AI systems requires managing all of these aspects well, throughout the whole life cycle from architecture design through to operation & analysis.
In this talk, I will give an overview of the life cycle for AI systems, as well as selected insights.
