International Summer School on Search- and Machine Learning-based Software Engineering
Optimisation and search algorithms applied to software engineering led to the emergence of the area of SBSE, which aims to automate and optimise solutions to complex problems in the daily work of a software engineer. More recently, machine learning (ML) algorithms have also made it possible to explore and extract knowledge from various data sources commonly used in the software development process, such as source code hosted in repositories, developers’ forums or technical documentation. Whatever the technique applied, the objective of using AI to these problems is to facilitate the work of developers, analysts, testers or software engineers, improving the quality of the resulting products while reducing the costs of their production (e.g. in terms of efficiency of organisation and use of resources, time required to complete tasks, etc.)
This International Summer School on Search- and Machine-learning-based Software Engineering (SMILESENG) is the third edition that continues the path of the successful previous schools, organised by the Spanish Network of Excellence SEBASENet at the University of Cádiz (2016) and the University of Málaga (2017). The areas evolve, and in this School we have opened the field of the school not only to optimisation and search, but also to other ways of learning and improving the software development process. Thanks to the support of the Second SEBASENet Research Network and other sponsors, I am proud to be able to organise this event, aimed at undergraduates and postgraduates (especially PhD students), as well as senior researchers and professionals interested in the application of AI techniques to software engineering. This is an event open to the community, in which I hope we will have the opportunity to open interesting debates, hear challenging ideas about ongoing works in this area and, of course, not forgetting the seminars that will be given by renowned researchers and that will surely be a source of inspiration for all of us. All of this, why not, while we enjoy the magnificent city of Córdoba.
Córdoba is a city with an enormous cultural and monumental legacy, recognised on several occasions by UNESCO. In fact, it is the Spanish city with the most World Heritage awards, and with an impressive historical legacy thanks to the mixture of the 3 cultures (Jews, Arabs and Christians) that have inhabited it. City of the Caliphate, don’t forget to visit the Mosque-Cathedral, the Jewish quarter or the ruins of Medina Azahara and enjoy its unique food.
Welcome to the SMILESENG International Summer School and on behalf of all the organising team, I wish you an enjoyable experience and see you in Córdoba!
