Speakers and agenda will slightly different depending on where we meet\, join us in: \n\nLinköping\, June 10\nMalmö\, June 11\nGothenburg\, June 12 \n\nAgenda\, June 12\, Gothenburg:\n09.30 – 10.00: Registration and coffee\n10:00-10:15: Opening: Jan Bosch\n10:15-11:00: Engineering AI Systems: Keynote presentation by Ingo Weber\, Professor at Technical University of Munich\nThis 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.\nIn this talk\, I will give an overview of the life cycle for AI systems\, as well as selected insights. \n11:00-11:30: Community & themes updates incl introduction to poster session:\n\nTheme 1: Kristian Sandahl & Daniel Varro\, Linköping university\nTheme 2: Jan Carlson\, Mälardalen University\nTheme 3: Miroslaw Staron\, University of Gothenburg\nTheme 4: Helena H Olsson\, Malmö University\n\n11.30 – 12.15: Poster & mingle session\n12:15 – 13:00 Lunch break (lunch at own expense)\nRecommended lunch restaurant: https://www.facebook.com/wastegbg/ \n13:00 – 13.45: Industrial keynote presentation by Alwin Bakkenes\, Head of Global Software Engineering at Volvo Cars\, and Johannes Foufas\, Lead Architect Software at Volvo Cars\n13.45-14.10: Transforming radar business: Presentation by Hanna Svantesson\, Head of Design AMB at Saab\, and Christer Åkerblom\, Head of Signal and Data Processing Applications at Saab\nThe need for speed in the development of defense material has never been higher; new threats are evolving continuously. At the same time\, sensors are part of a larger complex systems\, new capabilities needs to come with a minimum of integration efforts. At Saab we are devoted to keep people and society safe today and tomorrow – and we believe Software Center provides us with relevant support on this quest. \n14.10-14.20: Software Center 2.0 – expanding the scope: Jan Bosch\n14.20-14.30: Coffee break \n14:30 – 16.00: AI-driven organisation and/or engineering: an interactive session\nChaired by Miroslaw Staron\, University of Gothenburg\, and Helena H Olsson\, Malmö University \nAI is here to stay\, and all companies embrace it differently. In the Software Center\, we focus on two areas – AI-Driven organizations and AI AI-supported engineering\, which focus on the use of AI to create new business models\, improve operations\, and support in engineering new software. In this interactive session\, we use Mentimeter to lead discussions on how we are equipped to tackle challenges when introducing these technologies. We also look out for new areas like quantum computing\, sensing\, and AI Software engineering 4.0.  \n16.00 – 16:15 Plans\, reflections & closing: Jan Bosch\n  \nSpeakers:\nAlwin Bakkenes\, Head of Global Software Engineering at Volvo Cars\n\nAlwin Bakkenes has extensive experience from the mobility industry and has served as head of Global Software Engineering at Volvo Cars since 2022.\nPrior to joining Volvo Cars he was VP Global Product Lines at Aptiv\, EVP Automotive at Luxoft and CEO of Pelagicore.\nHe holds Board positions at Haleytek & Zenseact and has served on the Board of the GENIVI Alliance (now COVESA).\nMr. Bakkenes has a M.Sc.

SUMMARY:Reporting workshop in Malmö: Towards AI-driven organizations
DESCRIPTION:Most welcome to the Software Center Reporting Workshop hosted at Malmö University on June 11th\, 2025. Software Center (www.software-center.se)\, is a collaboration between 15 global companies and 5 Swedish universities focused on accelerating the digital transformation of the European software intensive industry. During this event\, we invite companies and researchers to exchange knowledge and to together explore the impact of future technologies. \nThe theme of the day is ‘Towards AI-driven organizations’ and we invite you to together explore the many ways in which AI is affecting business processes\, products and ways-of-working in software-intensive systems companies. Join us in exploring the full potential of AI and how to maximise the value of these new technologies! \nRegistration:\nPlease register at this link: https://forms.gle/9jvMX9KG5grWZeWh7 \nPlace:\nMalmö Universitet\, Floor 5 (the open space) in Niagara\, Nordenskiöldsgatan 1\, 20506 Malmö \nDirections: Google maps >> \nBackground:\nBased on recent observations\, we see that AI is typically used to help us “do more of what we already do” and to complement us in existing tasks. People use AI to improve their own personal productivity and to automate specific steps in a process. During R&D of products\, AI agents are used to support and automate e.g.\, test case generation and we also see examples of AI agents being used to complement a team in areas where team members lack skills. \nHowever\, we see few examples in which AI is used to fundamentally reinvent existing tasks\, work practices and organizations. In our view\, an AI-driven organisation is “An organization in which every business process has been redesigned from an AI-first mind-set meaning that any activity that can be automated or conducted using AI solutions and/or agentic AI has been implemented in that fashion.” \nFocus:\nDuring the workshop\, we hope to explore the concept of an AI-driven organisation e.g.\, what are good examples of AI adoption\, what are the steps companies go through in the evolution and adoption of AI\, and what are the problems companies experience in the adoption of AI? \nOur program includes keynote presentations\, research presentations and interactive discussions that focus on different aspects of AI and the potential of these technologies in industry. \nMost welcome to explore the potential of AI and what an AI-driven organisation could look like together with us! \nAgenda:\n09:30 – 10:00: Registration and coffee \n10:00 – 10:10: Opening and welcome: Helena H. Olsson \n10:10 – 10:30: The End of Software Engineering – as we know it: Jan Bosch \n10:30 – 11:15: Embracing AI at Bosch R&D Center in Lund: reflecting on Our Journey\nKeynote presentation: Florian Marcard\, Vice President Engineering and Head of Bosch R&D Center Lund\nJoin me as I take you through the transformative journey that the Bosch R&D Center in Lund has undertaken to fully harness the potential of artificial intelligence in our development processes and product offerings. This journey has not been linear; rather\, it has been characterized by exploration and experimentation\, marked by both successful innovations and valuable lessons learned along the way. \nIn this keynote\, I will share insights into how our organization is evolving\, along with concrete examples of products and initiatives that have emerged from our commitment to integrating AI. Discover how we are leveraging AI to enhance efficiency and effectiveness\, paving the way for a more innovative future. \n11:15 – 11:50: Research theme presentations: \n                – Continuous and automated quality assurance: Kristian Sandahl\, Linköping University \n                – AI-supported engineering: Miroslaw Staron\, Gothenburg University \n                – Data-driven digital transformation: Helena H.

SUMMARY:Keynote at ICSA 2025: From Building Systems to Growing Systems
DESCRIPTION:Keynote speaker\, Professor Helena Holmström Olsson\, delivered an insightful keynote exploring the future of software engineering in an era defined by digitalization\, artificial intelligence\, and continuous development. Drawing on years of empirical research and close collaboration with industry\, she presented a compelling shift: from building static systems to growing adaptive\, learning systems.\nProfessor Holmström Olsson highlighted how the role of software architecture is evolving. No longer solely focused on reducing complexity for humans\, architecture now plays a key role in enabling systems to mature\, self-optimize\, and adapt at runtime. This includes supporting automation\, experimentation\, and even coordination among AI agents.\nShe described the path toward AI-driven development\, where teams move from using AI assistants (e.g.\, for code completion) to AI agents that enhance productivity and ultimately lead to autonomous systems capable of continuous improvement—referred to as Kaizen AI.\nAt the organizational level\, she described a parallel evolution\, from basic task automation to fully AI-integrated business processes. This transformation challenges how teams are structured and how value is delivered. \nMore information>>

SUMMARY:Keynote: Mutation Testing in the Trenches
DESCRIPTION:This is a keynote at the Mutation 2025 Workshop\, Co-Located with the 2025 International Conference on Software Testing (ICST). \nSpeaker: Gregory Gay \nBased on a Software Center-funded collaboration between Chalmers/GU and Zenseact\, reported in these publications: \n\nhttps://greg4cr.github.io/pdf/24mutation.pdf\nhttps://greg4cr.github.io/pdf/23mutationci.pdf\n\nThe concept of mutation testing was first proposed over 40 years ago. There exists theoretical evidence that the technique is superior to structural coverage criteria as a means of assessing and improving the quality of an existing test suite. However\, due to factors such as computational cost and the lack of availability of mature tools for many programming languages\, mutation technique has not caught on as a standard practice in industry. In recent years\, there has been significant progress with regard to cost and tool availability\, potentially making the adoption of mutation testing more realistic in practice. Rather\, we now hypothesize that such adoption is hindered by a lack of guidance on how to effectively and efficiently utilize mutation testing in a development and testing workflow. \nIn this talk\, I will discuss the results of a two year collaboration with Zenseact – a developer of autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance systems – to implement mutation testing in their continuous integration pipeline and to explore how mutation testing can be integrated into the testing process. This collaboration has illustrated the potential of mutation testing in industry\, and yielded a number of findings related to the technical integration of mutation testing\, how and when mutation testing should be applied\, how the results of mutation testing should be presented\, and how the results should be applied. However\, many research challenges remain to be solved before mutation testing will be used in “standard” practice. \nMore information is available at https://conf.researchr.org/home/icst-2025/mutation-2025#Keynotes

SUMMARY:PhD defense: Towards Continuous Development of MLOps Practices
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n. .\n\nCandidate: Meenu Mary John\, Malmö University\nVenue: Hörsal C\, Niagara\, Malmö University \nOpponent:\nDr. Marie Christin Platenius-Mohr\, PhD\, Research Team Manager\, Automation and Software Architecture\, ABB AG Corporate Research\, Germany \nCommittee:\n– Tommi Mikkonen\, Professor of Software Engineering\, Software and communications engineering\, University of Jyväskylä\, Finland\n-Maria Paasivaara\, Professor of Software Engineering\, Software Engineering\, Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology\, Finland\n– Stefan Biffl\, Associate Professor of Software Engineering\, Institute of Information Systems Engineering\, Vienna University of Technology\, Austria\n\n\n\nAbstract:\nContext: With digitalisation\, companies that specialise in software-intensive embedded systems are transforming from a business reliant on hardware and products to a business that utilises software\, data and AI (especially Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL)). These technologies allow companies to extend their product offerings\, develop new products or services\, and create revenue opportunities. Despite the advancements\, the majority of ML/DL deployments fail within companies. This highlights the need to optimise the end-to-end process of developing\, deploying\, and evolving ML/DL models\, and a strong understanding and collaboration between researchers and practitioners in both the fields of ML/DL and Software Engineering. \nObjective: The research focuses on two main themes:(a) Establishing systematic and structured frameworks for the development\, deployment and evolution of models\, and (b) Exploring how the evolving (changing) needs of software-intensive embedded systems companies utilising ML/DL technologies shape the MLOps (Machine Learning Operationalisation) practises they needed and measures its maturity over time. Based on the themes mentioned above\, we have three primary objectives: (a) Identifying the need for MLOps\, (b) Developing the frameworks for MLOps adoption\, and (c) Standardising and measuring the MLOps practices. \nMethod: The research is conducted in collaboration with companies and employ various research approaches\, including case study\, action research and multi-vocal literature review. Also\, we employ different techniques\, including interviews and observations. \nResults: First\, it identifies the challenges faced and activities conducted by practitioners in companies when developing\, deploying and evolving models. Second\, it derives a conceptual framework that presents three parallel and concurrent activities that companies utilise when developing\, deploying and evolving models.  Third\, it presents a framework based on current literature to accelerate the end-to-end deployment process and advance knowledge on integrating\, deploying and operationalising ML/DL models. Fourth\, it develops a generic framework with five architectural alternatives for deploying ML/DL models at the edge.  Five\, it explores how MLOps\, as a practice\, brings together data scientist teams and operations to ensure the continuous delivery and evolution of models. Sixth\, it presents the MLOps framework\, maps companies to the MLOps maturity model\, and validates the MLOps framework and maturity model with other companies. It also presents critical trade-offs that practitioners made when adopting MLOps. Seventh\, it presents an MLOps taxonomy that helps companies determine their maturity stage and provide tailored MLOps practices to advance. \nConclusion: The thesis shows well-structured approach to improve end-to end ML lifecycle. Through the research\, we seek to enable and advance not only experts but also non-experts to effectively approach the development\, deployment\, and evolution of ML/DL models in the current embedded systems industry. This is relevant considering the shortage of highly skilled data scientists.

SUMMARY:PhD defense: Advancing Edge Intelligence - Federated and Reinforcement Learning for Smarter Embedded Systems
DESCRIPTION:. .\n\nCandidate: Hongyi Zhang\nVenue: Jupiter 473\, Chalmers University of Technology \nOpponent:\nXavier Franch\, Professor Informatics\, UPC\, Spain. https://www.upc.edu/gessi/personalpages/xfranch/ \nCommittee: \n\n\nChristian Kästner\, Associate Professor of CS\, CMU\, USA.\n\n\nHenry Muccini\, Professor CS\, University L’Aquila\, Italy.\n\n\nLuis Cruz\, Assistant professor CS\, TU Delft\, Netherlands\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract:\nContext: The rapid growth of embedded devices and edge computing has brought new opportunities for creating intelligent systems. However\, these systems face challenges such as limited computational power and the need to protect user privacy. As a result\, there is a need for machine learning methods that can scale effectively\, maintain privacy\, and adapt to changing conditions in embedded applications.\n \nObjective: This thesis focuses on improving the performance of machine learning models in embedded systems by using federated learning and reinforcement learning. The main goal is to develop methods that allow edge devices to work together without sharing raw data\, which helps maintain privacy. Another goal is to make these systems more adaptable to dynamic environments\, so they can perform better under changing conditions. Additionally\, the research seeks to improve the efficiency of communication and computation across devices.\n \nMethod: The research uses a mix of case studies\, simulations and real-world experiments. Federated learning is applied to allow edge devices to train models without centralizing the data\, keeping sensitive information local. Reinforcement learning is used to help devices learn how to make better decisions by interacting with their environment. These two methods is tested in different scenarios to evaluate improvements in model accuracy\, resource use\, and adaptability.\n \nResults: The results of this thesis highlight significant advancements in federated learning (FL) and reinforcement learning (RL) for embedded systems. A comprehensive literature review identified six key challenges and open research questions in FL\, emphasizing the need for efficient communication\, scalability\, and privacy preservation. Case studies in telecommunications and automotive applications demonstrated that FL\, particularly with asynchronous aggregation protocols\, improves model performance\, reduces communication overhead\, and speeds up training in real-time\, dynamic environments. Novel algorithms\, such as AF-DNDF and deep RL approaches\, further enhanced decision-making capabilities and adaptability in applications like autonomous driving and UAV base station deployment for disaster scenarios. The development of frameworks like EdgeFL provided practical solutions to overcome FL’s implementation challenges\, offering scalable\, low-effort alternatives. Overall\, the integration of FL and RL into embedded systems resulted in improved model accuracy\, resource utilization\, and adaptability\, making these approaches highly suitable for real-world industrial use cases.\n \nConclusion: This research advances the field of edge intelligence by providing a practical approach to deploying machine learning models that are scalable\, privacy-focused\, and adaptive in embedded systems. The work demonstrates clear improvements in performance and offers a foundation for future research\, which could explore more complex learning approaches and apply these techniques to a wider range of embedded systems.

The DIGITAL TWIN program develops methods to make accurate digital twins of these types of systems: virtual software versions that allow you to run simulations to predict\, for example\, how changes in the design affect performance\, how control can be improved\, or which part on which needs maintenance at the moment. Digital twins are still mostly based on static theoretical models that assume normal behavior. By linking these models to measurement data that indicate how the system actually functions and combining this data with artificial intelligence\, the researchers make digital copies that continuously improve and adapt themselves. The research focuses on a number of exemplary systems provided by the Dutch high-tech companies involved in the program. \n10.45-11.00: The impact of SDV and AI on Next-Generation Tier1 ADAS development\nCompany presentation by Tobias Aderum\, Director Research & Innovation at Magna Electronics\nRead more at: https://www.magna.com/products/electrical-electronics/adas-automated-driving \n11:00-11:30: Community updates and introduction to poster session:\n\nTheme 1: Daniel Varro\, Linköping university\nTheme 2: Jan Carlson\, Mälardalen University\nTheme 3: Miroslaw Staron\, University of Gothenburg\nTheme 4: Helena H Olsson\, Malmö University\n\n11.30 – 12.15: Poster & mingle session\n12:15 – 13:00 Lunch break (lunch at own expense)\nRecommended lunch restaurant: https://www.facebook.com/wastegbg/ \n13:00 – 13.40: The AI maturity journey: how to scale up value from data and AI in an organization:\nIndustrial keynote presentation by Anders Arpteg\,  Senior director\, Head of AI and Data CoE\, Global Connect group.\n\nMany companies struggle to fully capture the value of data and AI\, often finding themselves stuck in isolated AI initiatives without broader impact or even completely failing to take advantage of the possibilities. Unlocking value from AI is a journey\, requiring a strategic approach to move from small-scale AI projects to a company-wide adoption that drives real transformation. The potential of data and data and AI is immense\, but to climb the AI maturity scale and achieve meaningful results\, organizations must have a well-defined strategy guiding their progress. \n13.40-14.00: Software architecture and AI: presentation by Antonio Martini\, University if Oslo \nAI took the world by storm\, fundamentally changing the way we architect traditional systems\, but also the way we need to architect novel AI (sub)systems. For example\, how do we integrate AI modules in traditional software with a long-term perspective\, including maintainability and evolvability? How do we use AI to assess our architecture\, for example its modularity or if there are performance anomalies? Do architects need to fundamentally evolve their role and competences? \n14:00 – 16.00: Parallel tracks (incl coffee break)\n1: Data: Dare to Dream (Room: the Studio\, same as plenary)\n\nSession organizers: Helena Holmström Olsson and Jan Bosch\nSpeakers: Ingmar Bengtsson\, Volvo Group Truck Technology\nBackground: In our research on data practices\, we see that people are often more focused on the constraints associated with data than exploring the opportunities that data can bring. In most situations\, we want the data\, we know it has value\, but we don’t dare to fully use and exploit it due to e.g.\, regulations\, ownership constraints\, ways-of-working that are not well-established\, costs associated with storage\, processing etc.\, and lack of quality to mention a few.\nSession focus: In this session\, we look for ideas and discussions on: “What if there were no constraints? What if we didn’t have these challenges and uncertainties? What if we could not fail? If so\, what are the things we would do with data?\nSession format: The session is interactive in nature with a mix of presentations from research and industry\, and with group discussions/exercises.\n\n2. AI-supported digitalization – Quantum and generative AI (Room: Workshoprummet\, 1st floor)\nLink to online participation: Join the meeting now \nMS Teams meeting ID: 341 402 358 630\npasscode: GF3n7iF6\n\nSession organizer: Miroslaw Staron\nSession focus: Quantum & Generative AI – how can we utilize quantum computing in software products? Are we ready for large-scale adoption yet? When will Quantum Computers be available like datacenters for AI?\nSpeakers:\n\nMikael Haglund & Henrik Sjöstrand\, IBM Sweden\nPontus Vikstål\, Mårten Skogh\, Chalmers NextLabs\nPetter Sutton\, Boeing\n\n\n\n3. The future of software and system modelling (Room: Wonderwoman)\n\nJoin the meeting now \nMeeting ID: 393 818 596 770\nPasscode: d4R7ff9U \n\nSession organizer: Jan Carlson\, Mälardalen University\, & Daniel Varro\, Linköping University\nSession focus: What is the role of models and modeling when building the software-intensive systems of the future? Should we still model? If so\, what? And how much is enough? Can models still be a useful tool in AI-supported development\, or is modeling becoming an outdated way of working?\n\n16.00: The end of Software Engineering as we know it\nPresentation and fishbowl discussion \n16.45 – 17:00 Plans\, reflections & closing: Jan Bosch\n  \nSpeakers:\n\n\n\n\nMark van den Brand: professor of Software Engineering and Technology\, Technical University of Eindhoven\, the Netherlands\n\n\n\n\n.\n  \nMark van den Brand is a full professor of Software Engineering and Technology in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science\, and a visiting professor at Royal Holloway\, University of London.

In these discussions\, it became clear that currently\, many companies are spending an enormous amount of resources and manual effort into the process of understanding\, preparing\, and organizing for regulatory compliance. The risk\, as we see it\, is that resources and efforts are spent on processes and tasks that will only increase in number and that\, over time\, R&D and innovation activities might suffer. \nSession format:\nThe session is interactive in nature with a mix of presentations from research and industry\, and with group discussions/exercises. \nSession organizers: Helena Holmström Olsson and Jan Bosch \nTrack 2: Digital twins (Room: SVEA 240)\nBackground:\nIn recent discussions with representatives from the Software Center companies\, several companies have indicated interest in more in-depth discussions and research-activities regarding digital twins. \nSession focus:\nThe session will focus on identifying existing and missing technologies and competences that are needed to better utilize the concepts and ideas behind the digital-twin paradigm. We will look at questions like “How are different actors working with digital twins today?”\, “How would we like to work with digital twins in the future?”\, “What are the challenges you see to pursue such approach to system operation?”\, “What are the technology gaps that need to be filled?” \nSession format:\nThe session is interactive in nature with a mix of presentations from research and industry\, and with group discussions. \nSession goals:\nOur goal is to identify how the Software Centre community could support advances in utilizing digital-twin technology at the partner companies. This could include need for Software Center research-project and/or other supporting activities such as seminars or development of courses. \nSession organizers: Mikael Sjödin and Tiberiu Seceleanu \nTrack 3: Assurance & regulatory compliance\, architecture and testing (Room: SVEA 228)\nChairs: Jan Carlson\, Mälardalen University\, Daniel Varro\, Linköping university \nTentative link for online participation: Join the meeting\nMS Teams Meeting ID: 342 545 598 082 Passcode: ck6qz6Ve \n13.15 – 14.00 Assurance & regulatory compliance \n\n\nOntology-based representation for assurance and compliance (projects #49 & #50): Barbara Gallina\n\nTowards Automated Multi-concern Assurance and Regulatory Compliance of Battery Management Systems (projects #49\, #50 & #60): Barbara Gallina\n\n14.00 – 14.45 Architecture \n\n\nCommunication and documentation of architectural changes (project #35): Ifrah Qaisar\n\n\nAdopting the C4 model for visualizing software architecture (project #35): Robbert Jongeling\n\n\n14.45 – 15.15 Coffee break \n15.15 – 16.30 Testing \n\n\nUse of Generative AI in test generation\, optimization\, and automation (project #63): Gregory Gay and Azeem Ahmad\n\n\nTrack 4: Engineering Generative AI Software – project presentations (Room: SVEA 215)\nChair: Miroslaw Staron\, University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology \nLink to online participation: Join the meeting now \nMS Teams Meeting ID: 372 030 783 546   Passcode: JM3mJ3BA \nSession format: Project presentations and discussions \n\n\n13.15 – 13.45: Wilhelm Meding/Miroslaw Staron – requirements from standards\n\n\n13.45 – 14.05: Simin Sun – preliminary survey on CI\n\n\n14.05 – 14.25: Yi Peng – Data Challenges for Machine Learning Systems — Towards Data Requirements\n\n\n14.25 – 14.45: Habib – Maintainability Definition and Measurement for ML System Components.\nCoffee break\n\n\n15.15 – 15.35: Nataliya Berbyuk Lindström – Stakeholder Information Needs\n\n\n15.35 – 15.55: Nataliya Berbyuk Lindström – Generative AI\n\n\n15.55 – 16:15: Srijita Basu – Automotive CWE analysis\n\n\n16.15 – 16.30: Yiran Wang\, Willem Meijer – Why ML code crashes and what we are going to do about it\n\n\n14.45 – 15.15: Coffee & mingle\n15.15 – 16.30: Parallell workshop sessions (continued)\n16.30: Reflections in plenary: theme leaders\n16.50 – 17.00: Summary and closing: Jan Bosch\n  \nDecember 11th: Post technical workshop & Pre-reporting workshop mingle\nWe meet for an informal warming up for the reporting workshop (at own cost):\n18.00 at OGBG Bar & Restaurang\, Comfort Hotel\, Skeppsbroplatsen 1411 21 Göteborg \nDecember 12th: Software center reporting workshop\nThe day after the technical workshop we are arranging the December Software Center reporting workshop where you have the opportunity to meet partners in Software Center\, more information here: https://www.software-center.se/event/rws_dec2024/
