CALL FOR SPECIAL ISSUE SUBMISSIONS
------------------------------------------------------------
With its boundaries expanding into other disciplines and fields as the
computers become ubiquitous, Software Engineering (SE) is expected to
solve a plethora of increasingly complex questions that are dynamic,
automated, adaptive, or must execute at a very large scale. In theory,
there could be another layer of collaboration between SE and other
disciplines in addition to employing software systems of varying
complexity. For example, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies can
support the development of increasingly complex SE systems as in the
case of recommendation systems. Conversely, in theory, SE might also
play a role in alleviating development costs and the development
effort associated with AI tools and applications such as robotics
where proper development and testing practices are of utmost
importance from both cost and robustness perspectives. Unfortunately,
in practice, such collaborations between SE and AI are rarely
achieved. This begs the question: “Are SE and AI researchers ignoring
important insights from AI and SE?”

This special issue is pursuing for contributions that explore not only
the application of AI techniques to software engineering problems but
also the application of software engineering techniques to AI
problems. This call is open to all interested parties, and all
submissions will be subject to Software Quality Journal’s rigorous
acceptance criteria. Topics of interest (Including but not limited
to):

1.      Improving SE through AI – Knowledge acquisition, knowledge
representation, reasoning, agents, machine learning, machine-human
interaction, planning and search, natural language understanding,
problem solving and decision-making, understanding and automation of
human cognitive tasks, AI programming languages, reasoning about
uncertainty, new logics, statistical reasoning, software analytics.
2.      Applying AI to SE activities – Requirements, design,
specification, traceability, program understanding, model-driven
development, testing and quality assurance, domain-specific software
engineering, adaptive systems, software evolution.
3.      SE for AI – AI programming languages, program derivation
techniques in AI domains, platforms and programmability, software
architectures, rapid prototyping and scripting for AI techniques,
software engineering infrastructure for reflective and self-sustaining
systems.
4.      Deployed Applications of AI or SE – Papers that describe a
deployed SE application in AI domain or an AI application in SE domain
including but not limited to robotics software development and
recommendation systems in SE.
