Workshop Theme

This year’s conference theme – “Speed and Innovation through AI4SE & SE4AI” – aims to emphasize the importance of sound systems engineering to both deliver mission capabilities quickly and effectively and transform enterprises to leverage the power of AI. As in the past, the workshop will be organized around SE4AI and AI4SE.

The SE4AI track focuses on leveraging systems engineering principles and methodologies to develop safe, robust, and efficient AI systems that augment operational capabilities, while extending and advancing these principles and methodologies in response to the nature of AI-enabled systems.

The AI4SE track delves into the application of AI in support of the acquisition process by enabling enhanced decision-making, optimization, validation, and verification, and alleviating mundane tasks.
