Warmly welcome to the Software Center Reporting Workshop hosted at Ericsson in Linköping on June 10th, 2025. Software Center (www.software-center.se), is a collaboration between 15 global companies and five Swedish universities focused on accelerating the digital transformation of the European software intensive industry. Software center is responsible for the Vinnova competence center Continuous Digitalization (CoDig). During this event, we invite companies and researchers to exchange knowledge and to together explore the impact of future technologies.
The major theme for the workshop is Quality assurance of AI and AI generated software as this is the focus of the Software Center research team at Linköping university in collaboration with the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP). Our guests will also give the participants a broad view of what is going on in Software Center.
This is a public event, and all information shared will be considered open. Sessions will be recorded with the consent of the presenter.
Registration is closed.

Keynote address by Professor Jan Bosch, Chalmers, director and founder of Software Center
Artificial intelligence and specifically agentic AI are fundamentally changing the way companies, R&D processes and products operate. In this keynote, I present the results of an ongoing interview study with a variety of companies inside and outside of Software Center on their adoption of AI. The talk presents a vision of desired state and maturity models for how companies evolve from current state to the desired state.

Industry keynote by dr. Azeem Ahmad, AI technology leader, Ericsson AB, Sweden
Artificial Intelligence promises transformative potential across industries, but deploying robust and effective AI solutions involves far more than adopting the latest technologies. In this talk, I will share practical insights from multiple AI implementations, including applications such as test case selection and generation. I will discuss common yet hidden challenges, critical prerequisites for success, and nuanced engineering decisions that significantly affect real-world outcomes
