AI Engineering Suite to support Agile Efficient Software Engineering

Funding: EU Horizon Europe

Investigator(s): Paolo Papotti

Project timeframe: 2025 - 2028

Project description

AI4SWEng represents a chemistry of 15 Partners including experts and practitioners in Model-Drive Software Engineering and AI Engineering (particularly LLMs) from across Europe with four use-cases from Software Development, Healthcare, Cyber-Physical System and Next Generation Battery Management in EVs. The AI4SWEng mission is to contribute to the transformation of agile software development into a sector turbocharged for design-by-contact high efficiency, reliability, and security-privacy compliant delivery. This is to exploit advanced AI-powered software development support to deliver high-quality reliable fast time-to-market solutions that are socially responsible, scalable, sustainable and lend themselves to audible ethical and regulatory compliance.

AI4SWEng aims deliver AI-powered support to software developers to help reduce worker stress past the pain-points in agile SW development pipelines and higher productivity thus enhanced job satisfaction and creativity. Accordingly, the project will develop, deliver and validate, a platform comprising a set of tools including AISysDev and Test Automation Tool to support the software lifecycle end-to-end for both functional and non- functional deliverables by supporting a host of tasks such as code generation, cross-compilation advanced debugging and dynamic slicing, adaptation, security-privacy by design, reliability, energy efficiency and adaptation as well as project management. To advance user-centred design, it will provide structured design in advanced prompt engineering to support software developers team to best exploit to capabilities of the platform.
