AI4SE and SE4AI Workshop 2021

Oct 20-21, 2021 NJ, United States

Sponsored & organized by U.S. Army DEVCOM Armaments Center (AC) Systems Engineering Directorate and Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC)


The objective of this workshop was to bring together key stakeholders from across industry, government and academia to explore specific outcomes that resulted from the initial 2020 meeting. The agenda for the October 2021 workshop was developed with the intention to curate panel discussions and facilitate group breakout sessions that produce actionable applications of Artificial Intelligence for Systems Engineering (AI4SE) and Systems Engineering for Artificial Intelligence (SE4AI) as well as relevant research ideas that align with DEVCOM AC and SERC AI/SE priorities.
