"Computational Intelligence in SoftwareEngineering"

A Panel Discussion, a Round Table Discussion- facilitated by Prof. Witold Pedricz,University of Alberta,Edmonton AB.

Software Engineering is a rapidly expanding applied research area coming with manysuccess stories and a plethora of challenges and open question. As the softwarecomplexity grows and the diversity of software systems skyrocket, it becomes apparentthat there is a genuine need for solid, efficient, designer-oriented vehicle to supportdesign activities at various levels. This need becomes particularly visible when dealingwith a number of critical aspects of software products and software processes such as riskassessment, cost estimation, quality assurance, and system reliability.

The objective of this panel is to identify a role of Computational Intelligence (CI) as asound methodological and algorithmic environment for Software Engineering and discussthe already existing trends and research pursuits. By its very nature, SoftwareEngineering and CI are highly compatible: they are knowledge-intensive, human-oriented, and have to deal with various manifestations of the abstract world of softwareconstructs and thought processes. This multifaceted conceptual compatibility is aprerequisite for the development of vital synergistic links that bring the technology of CIinto Software Engineering. The symbiosis accrues considerable benefit for bothtechnologies by posing new categories of challenging and highly stimulating problems.

The panel is aimed at all those in academia and industry interested in expanding thefrontiers of CI beyond the boundaries of physics-driven systems and entering thechallenging world of human-centered world Software Engineering. The panel will be ofinterest to all software practitioners looking for new innovative solutions for timelyproblems relative to a variety of products of a typical software process.
