The Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) spells out components of the software engineering discipline, promoting a consistent view of SE worldwide. Hironori has led its evolution project to release its newest version 4, which mainly reflects new developments in SE practice (such as Agile and DevOps) and the growth of BOK, resulting in new knowledge areas (including software architecture, security, and operations) as well as connections to related areas such as AI. This talk firstly overviews the SWEBOK guide and its latest updates, including new knowledge areas and emerging topic areas, including AI SE. Furthermore, as a part of AI SE, the talk explains how recommended SE practices for machine learning systems have been formalized as ML SE and design patterns and how those patterns can be utilized for the development and maintenance of ML systems, such as ML patterns detection in ML code.
