We will have five sessions for presentations at the predefined timeslots from mid of June until mid of July 2020. Please have a look at the materials regarding the schedule for your presentations and see when your presentation is scheduled.

Attendance is mandatory for all participants for all presentations (i.e., for all sessions)!

One week before your individual presentation, you have to submit a first draft of your presentation slides to the CMS. You have to upload the draft of the slides to the session your presentation is scheduled to (e.g., if your presentation is scheduled to Session 1, please upload your draft to Session 1, not to any other session!) Afterwards, you will receive feedback to your slides from your advisor (after draft submission but before your actual presentation). We recommend to arrange a meeting with your advisor.

The final version of your slides also has to be submitted after your presentation has taken place -- the version of the slides you will have used in your presentation. There is a separate entry for the submission of the final slides in the CMS (again, make sure to upload them to the correct session).

Please try to acquire a webcam for your presentation, so we can be sure that you are presenting in person.

The link to the Zoom meeting is the following: https://cs-uni-saarland-de.zoom.us/j/94641602982?pwd=dDJaS1M0SmFhQTdvK21GdEVOZlo1Zz09

In case of questions, please contact your advisor.

About the Seminar

Artificial intelligence has gained momentum in software engineering. In the past, AI has already shown to increase effectiveness and efficiency when applying AI on various software engineering tasks. The current state of AI could herald the start of a new era of "programming 2.0" where code is mainly written, tested, and maintained by AI systems. Even better, AI affects the way software engineers plan, develop, acquire, deploy, test, and verify software. Still, machine learning comes with its very own difficulties and pitfalls, so care has to be taken when applying several AI approaches solely "out of the box" on software engineering tasks.

In this course, we address and discuss past, recent, and future advancements through AI in the area of software engineering.

Registration

Registration for the seminar is mandatory. To distribute students among the available seminars offered by the computer science department, you have to select your preferences for a seminar or a proseminar on the central registration platform for seminars and will be automatically assigned to a seminar according to your preferences.

If you are assigned to this seminar, for organizational reasons, you have to sign up both in the course registration form that will be given above and in the LSF (seminar, proseminar). Deadlines for the LSF (HISPOS) registration will be posted in the LSF (HISPOS) portal. Registration is possible up to three weeks after the topic assignment / kick-off.

Kick-off and topic assignment will take place on May 7, at 12:15 in E1 1 room 206 on Zoom. Please note that the schedule can still change due to the current situation with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
