In contrast to the last semester’s SE4AI overview seminar, this semester SE4AI will be a focused think tank seminar featuring tight collaboration between the participants and us. After intensive study of a state-of-the-art thesis on developer challenges, we will discuss and analyse new research ideas continuing that work. These ideas will be presented in short vision papers written by the participants. After this seminar, those ideas can be followed up in research projects.
