Workshop at ICSE 2018:
Software Engineering for AI in Autonomous Systems
Products with embedded software have been around for many years. Most of these conventional embedded software products are built using rule-based control engineering approaches. The corresponding software engineering practices are mature and well understood. For autonomous systems, however, the conventional control engineering approaches are extended by modern artificial intelligence techniques, in particular machine learning. The corresponding product software engineering approaches are less well understood and need attention.
The goal of this workshop is to better understand the impact of incorporating machine learning algorithms in autonomous systems from the software engineering perspective and the implications on system properties such as quality, maintainability, scalability, robustness, safety, security, etc.
This workshop focuses on software engineering and software architecture approaches that achieve the typical software engineering goals for systems that are built using a combination of conventional embedded software development and AI.
Submission Guidelines
We encourage researchers and practitioners at the intersection of artificial intelligence and embedded software engineering to submit full papers (maximum length of 8 pages) or extended abstracts (max. 3 pages). The contents can range from research to applications. We specifically encourage submission of work in progress that raises or illustrates interesting issues when bringing autonomous systems to a product-ready level.

Workshop papers must follow the ACM formatting instructions. The official publication date of the workshop proceedings is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of ICSE 2018. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
Workshop paper submissions due: February 05, 2018
