Participants will be asked to provide contributions from one or more of the following perspectives to address the question above: (1) Improving SE through AI, (2) Applying AI to SE activities, (3) Deployed applications of AI for SE or SE for AI. (4) SE for AI. RAISE is a workshop series that responds to the recent unprecedented levels of interest in AI+SE. RAISE’19 at ICSE’19 had 65 registered participants, 14 submissions, and 8 excellent papers; it was the 5th biggest workshop at ICSE 2019. | ||
| The 4th International Workshop on Advances in Mobile App Analysis | 15 Nov | A-Mobile 2021 |

| A-Mobile aims to create an active, initiative and sustainable forum for mobile researchers and practitioners. The participants are encouraged to exchange their thoughts, present automated approaches and technologies in the field of mobile app analysis, including security analysis (e.g., malware detection, vulnerability discovery, and reverse engineering), performance analysis, compatibility analysis, privacy analysis (e.g., data protection and code protection), and plagiarism detection (as detailed in Section VII), etc. | ||
| 2nd International Workshop on Sustainable Software Engineering | 19 Nov | SUSTAINSE |
| Organizers: Vikrant Kaulgud (Accenture Labs), Vibhu Saujanya Sharma (Accenture Labs, Sanjay Podder (Accenture) | ||
| The goal of the workshop is to bring together software engineering researchers and industry practitioners on a common platform to exchange views on sustainable software engineering and define a manifesto for future research in the field. The workshop will focus on the key challenges in weaving ‘sustainability’ as a design consideration in software engineering and explore the novel automated software engineering techniques for building and running sustainable software systems. There are several concerns related measurement and metrics related to different sustainability concerns, design and code anti-patterns, automatic refactoring of code for sustainability, using AI to create DevOps advisory for achieving sustainable software goals etc., that we would explore via the workshop | ||
| International Workshop on Automated Support to Improve Code Readability | 15 Nov | AeSIR 2021 |
| Organizers: Felipe Ebert (Eindhoven University of Technology), Fernanda Madeiral (KTH Royal Institute of Technology), Simone Scalabrino (University of Molise), Fernando Castor (UFPE), Rocco Oliveto (University of Molise) | ||
| This workshop aims at bringing together new ideas of tools and techniques to automatically make code more readable and legible, by (i) considering the activities that motivated developers to read code in the first place; and (ii) exploring techniques, tools, application contexts, and data sources in new and exciting ways. The great maturity that the area of Software Engineering has achieved means that we now understand the activities that developers perform very well and can tailor approaches to improve code readability and legibility so as to support them in a seamless and efficient manner. Thus, this workshop can stimulate interesting discussions that can lead to the identification of new research directions in the area of automated software engineering | ||
| The Second International Workshop on Human-Centric Software Engineering and Cyber Security | 15 Nov | HCSE&CS-2021 |
| Organizers: Mohan Baruwal Chhetri (Data61 CSIRO Australia), Xiao Liu (Deakin University, Marthie Grobler (Data61 CSIRO Australia, Thuong Hoang (School of Information Technology, Deakin University, Karen Renaud (University of Strathclyde), Jennifer McIntosh (Monash University) | ||
| The 2nd International Workshop on Human-Centric Software Engineering and Cyber Security will continue its aim to bring together researchers and practitioners to continue the discussion on fundamentally new ways to systematically capture and use humancentric software requirements during software development and verify that systems meet these requirements. At present, there are major issues with misaligned software applications related to human factors, such as accessibility, usability, emotions, personality, age, gender, and culture. This workshop serves as the ideal venue to share research ideas and outcomes on requirements, enhanced theory, models, tools and capability for next-generation human-centric software engineering aiming to achieve significant benefits of greatly improved software quality and user experience, developer productivity and cost savings. | ||
