Reporting workshop for all companies and other interested parties
December 11 @ 10:00 - 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.
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.

Keynotes:
6G as part of the AI compute continuum
This talk will sketch the current 6G vision by deriving an updated set of network capabilities from expected society needs. As the main theme, we highlight the role of compute in 6G. This includes compute and AI related services that would be offered by future networks.
Past, Present, and Potential Perspectives on Software Engineering
In 2018 the International Conference of Software Engineering celebrated “50 years of Software Engineering” in Gothenburg. This keynote will reflect on the past history of software engineering, highlight key activities of the present, and address the potential of key software engineering topics for the future. The focus will be on long-living cyberphysical systems with stringent quality attributes where understanding the stakeholder’s needs, having an architecture that is able to evolve, and establishing a sustainable business model are key.
Dr. Frances Paulisch is an independent software engineering expert. Until recently, she was the head of the “Software Initiative” activities of Siemens Healthineers AG. Prior to that she had a similar role at Siemens AG and initiated their joining the Software Center. One of her achievements at Siemens / Siemens Healthineers was the establishing a set of company-wide learning programs for software and system development which addresses especially the architecture for long-living, mission-critical systems. She has extensive experience in both technical software engineering topics as well as the management of them.
Parallel sessions:
RADICAL/AI: Towards an AI-driven product-centric paradigm – Organizers: Helena Holmström Olsson and Jan Bosch
Modern businesses need an AI-driven product-centric model to break organizational barriers, accelerate innovation, achieve strategic alignment and deliver continuous value to customers at a pace and scale that current agile practices simply cannot match.
An AI-driven product-centric paradigm fundamentally transforms how organizations create, deliver and evolve products, shifting from traditional product management to dynamic data-driven approaches powered by artificial intelligence. With a product-centric approach, companies move away from the short-term thinking and fragmentation inherent in project-based approaches to instead focus their efforts on innovation and long-term product value.
In this session, we introduce RADICAL/AI – an AI-driven paradigm that focuses on the capabilities that GenAI and Agentic AI brings to organizations, to R&D processes and to products. To address the limitations of agile practices and to accelerate continuous value delivery to customers, RADICAL/AI helps companies to harness the power of AI for:
-
Continuous learning loops and real-time insights
-
Automation of tasks and entire workflows
-
Monitoring, optimization and personalization of outcomes
-
Rapid and continuous generation, testing and deployment
-
Experimentation and hypothesis testing at scale
-
Alignment around business KPIs, outcomes and customer value
The session is open for everyone interested in how to accelerate product development and how to adopt and use AI technologies to significantly improve the effectiveness of R&D.
We aim for an interactive session with presentations from research and from industry and with an emphasis on discussions and next steps.

Multi-Agentic Software Engineering: Building Software that Builds Software – Organizer: Miroslaw Staron
Software engineering is evolving at warp speed. With the rise of agentic AI, we’re no longer just writing software – we’re engineering the software that engineers the software. Our role is shifting from creators to orchestrators: governing fleets of autonomous agents, validating their outputs, and ensuring that machine-crafted code meets the standards and regulations of real-world products.
In this session, we’ll mix short presentations with interactive Mentimeter-supercharged debates to explore the emerging discipline of multi-agentic AI: what it is, why it matters, and how it will reshape our craft. We’ll dive into the tech, the tooling, and the future trajectory of this rapidly growing paradigm.
We’ll explore:
- Real-world applications of multi-agent systems — What’s hype, what’s real, and what’s already running in production.
- AI-friendly code — How to write code that agents can reason about, extend, and refactor without losing their synthetic minds.
- Architectures & frameworks for agent swarms — like Crew.ai and its the latest multi-agent orchestration stacks.
- The future of the software engineer — Which skills survive, which evolve, and which get gracefully retired in an AI-accelerated ecosystem.
Join us if you want to nerd out on agentic workflows, debate the future of our profession, and catch a glimpse of the coming era where IDEs feel more like control towers for digital engineering teams.
13.50 – 14.00: Multiagentic frameworks and AI-friendly code, Miroslaw Staron
14.10 – 14.30: Agentic 3GPP standards, Wilhelm Meding (Ericsson)
14.30 – 14.50: From Zero to Working Function: Multi-Agent Assistance for Developers, Simin Sun (Chalmers/GU) and David Friberg (Zenseact)
14.50 – 15.10: Agentic conversation topics – towards a common communication protocols, Srijita Basu (Chalmers/GU)
Evolving models and architecture and the role of AI in the process – organizers: Jan Carlson, Mälardalen university, and Kristian Sandahl, Linköping university
Architecture and system models play a significant role in evolving and validating software. Yet there is a wide spectrum of different approaches being used in the companies in parallel. For this workshop we will focus on formal vs. informal models and the role of AI in artefacts and processes: In the agenda we will provide both research presentations and openings for discussion:
- Benefits from more systematic modeling and versioning practices.
- Incremental introduction of minimal structure in informal models
- Modeling and AI – What is the role of formal and informal modeling when AI has a more central role in the development?
- Software Architecture Recovery Approaches with LLM
