Abstract
The economy, the nation’s infrastructure, education, and healthcare all depend on software. This workshop will explore the fundamental research needed to support progress across these critical domains. Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Software Engineering Institute (SEI) and the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Software Productivity, Sustainability, and Quality (SPSQ) Interagency Working Group are partnering on this workshop, to inform a community strategy for building and maintaining U.S. leadership in software engineering and AI engineering, and positively impact progress in multiple application domains.
Goal
The workshop will provide an opportunity for discussions on research areas for the future of software engineering that are critical for multidisciplinary research. Several federal agencies, as well as researchers and companies are working to chart the solution space. This workshop aims to bring together federal leaders, research funding agencies, research laboratories, and commercial organizations with an interest in software and AI engineering.
