Title: Towards Mature Enterprises in AI engineering – challenges and directions towards possible solutions The hype of AI/ML is getting in his mature phase. A focus from a fascination about endless possibilities and business opportunities and predictions of horror scenarios, has moved to

Most welcome to the next Software Center lunch seminar that, due to a Software Center steering committee meeting and Christmas holidays, is organized on January 17th, 2022. The seminar is hosted by theme 4 (‘Customer Data and Ecosystems’) and our speaker Helena H. Olsson, Malmö University: “NOT my job: On the challenges with service innovation and development” With digitalization disrupting industry after industry to an extent that we have only

Welcome to the next Software Center lunch seminar hosted by theme 2: Title: Creating light-weight consistency checks for continuous model-based development Speaker: Robbert Jongeling, Mälardalen University Abstract: Model-based development (MBD) incorporates any practices where models are used as core development artefacts, that is, they are created and maintained with the purpose of designing and/or documenting the system under development. As in other development paradigms, it is commonly desired to adopt

Non-functional Requirements for Machine Learning: Understanding Current Use and Challenges in Industry This week, we have a presentation from our new associated project iNFORM, which studies non-functional requirements for machine learning. Speaker: Khan Mohammad Habibullah Machine Learning (ML) is an application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that uses big data to produce complex predictions and decision-making systems, which would be challenging to obtain otherwise. To ensure the success of ML-enabled systems,

Welcome to the next Software Center lunch seminar hosted by theme 5: AI Engineering: Effective ML System Development Speaker: Leonard Aukea, Volvo Cars In order to efficiently deliver and maintain ML systems; the adoption of MLOps practices is a must. In recent times, the ML community have had to embrace and modify ideas originating from software engineering with reasonable success. Software 2.0 (AI/ML) poses some additional challenges that we are

Welcome to the next Software Center lunch seminar hosted by theme 2: DevOps Multi-paradigm Automotive Software Development   Speaker: Alessio Bucaioni, Mälardalen University In the seminar, we will discuss the main results of two research projects, which aimed at improving timing predictability of multi-paradigm automotive software. In particular, we will see how we used metamodeling and automation for developing a DevOps framework for the development of automotive software. The framework makes

Welcome to the Software Center lunch seminar organized by theme 3: Comparing Input Prioritization Techniques for Testing Deep Learning Algorithms Speaker: Masilii Mosin, Volvo Cars, Associated Project DeVeLoP Deep learning (DL) systems are becoming more popular in modern software due to their ability to solve complex problems. For example, they are used in safety-critical applications, such as camera perception in self-driving cars. It is important to thoroughly test such DL

The seminar is hosted by theme 4 (‘Customer Data and Ecosystems’) and as our speaker, we have the privilege to welcome Anas Dakkak from Ericsson AB: “From fairy tale to reality: Transitioning to Continuous Deployment in Software-Intensive Embedded Systems” Continuous deployment has become a widespread practice in the software industry, especially among companies developing web and cloud-based applications. The expected advantages of continuous deployment are many; however, some of the

Most welcome to next week’s Software Center lunch seminar on Monday, March 28. The seminar is hosted by theme 5 (AI Engineering) and as our speaker, we have the privilege to welcome Daniel Gillblad, director of CHAIR (Chalmers AI Research Center) (among other roles): Engineering AI - Approaches to creating industrial strength and general AI, and how CHAIR and AI Sweden can contribute  While AI and Machine Learning continues to

Speaker: Ola Leifler, LiU Understanding how to efficiently build and deploy software, whether through continuous integration, adoption of AI techniques or service-based business models, requires critical thinking and reflection on ideas and outcomes. Similarly, critical thinking is essential in understanding what to build and why. Critical requirements engineering is a term to describe a framework for critically analyzing the reasoning behind and decisions taken in designing new systems. This talk

Welcome to the next Software Center lunch seminar hosted by theme 2: The ASIL-Palette for FuSa and SOTIF: focus on the "true" value of controllability and the need for its dynamic reconfiguration Speaker: Barbara Gallina, MDU In this talk, the notion of ASIL-Automotive Safety Integrity Level will be recalled as well as its role for functional safety (FuSa) and safety of the intended functionality (SOTIF). Then, the attention will be focused

Most welcome to the next Software Center lunch seminar on May 2nd. The seminar is hosted by theme 4 (‘Customer Data and Ecosystems’), and we have the privilege to welcome Dr. Sami Hyrynsalmi, LUT as our speaker. Speaker: Dr. Sami Hyrynsalmi, Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT in Lahti, Finland During the last decade, ecosystems become a new standard way of working for businesses. Instead of working alone, companies are working

Very welcome to the Software Center lunch seminar organized by the AI Engineering theme. We have a special guest speaker this time, Dr. Bernhard Moser, who is the research director of the Software Competence Center in Hagenberg, Austria: Title: Modeling and Engineering Beyond Narrow AI at SCCH   Speaker: Dr. Bernhard A. Moser, Research Director, Software Competence Center Hagenberg GmbH, Hagenberg, Austria Today’s machine intelligence is driven by the Big Data

Title: Test Environments for Large-Scale Software Systems – Intrinsic and Extrinsic Success Factors Speaker: Torvald Mårtensson, Saab AB (Software Center Project #6) Abstract: Based on a study including five Software Center companies, this talk presents intrinsic and extrinsic success factors, critical for successful implementations of test environments for large-scale and complex software systems. We find that successful implementations of test environments for large-scale software systems depend primarily on how they

Welcome to the next Software Center lunch seminar hosted by theme 2! Title: The modern use of control dependency in static program analysis Speaker: Abu Naser Masud, Mälardalen University Control dependency (CD) is a fundamental concept used in many program analysis techniques such as program slicing, debugging, parallelization, software testing, detecting security leaks, etc. Since the introduction of CD in the late eighties, numerous extensions of the standard definition and computation methods

This week we have project #37 giving a talk about How to succeed with communicating software metrics in the organization? – Five questions for managers Speaker: Aleksandre Asatiani from University of Gothenburg. While software metrics are indispensable for quality assurance, using metrics in practice is far from uncomplicated. Implementing and executing metrics are challenging tasks as it is difficult to manage the technical and human aspects of the software measurement.
