SUMMARY:IN-PERSON EVENT: AI4SE@STAF 2023
DESCRIPTION:Software Technologies: Applications and Foundations (STAF) is a federation of leading conferences on software technologies. It was formed after the end of the successful TOOLS federated event in 2012\, providing a loose umbrella organisation with a steering committee that aims to provide continuity. \nThe STAF federated event runs annually. The conferences that participate may vary from year to year\, but all focus on practical and foundational advances in software technology. The conferences address all aspects of software technology\, from object-oriented design\, testing\, mathematical approaches to modelling and verification\, transformation\, model-driven engineering\, aspect-oriented techniques\, and tools. \nMuch of today’s business runs on software\, depends on IT systems and data to perform their daily operations\, innovate\, and grow. For many companies\, the lack of software products that meet their specific needs is a major obstacle to their development. \nSoftware Engineering (SE) as a discipline aims at making software development an efficient\, reliable\, and predictable engineering process. AI is increasingly part of SEs ever-growing toolbox as both a solution component in the systems developed and to support the development process itself. \nModel-based low- or no-code methods based on domain-specific languages have gained popularity in recent years by taking a more business-oriented approach\, hiding technical complexity\, making software development more productive and less error prone. They are natural companions to AI which is often intrinsically model-based or can work more effectively at model level. \nThe workshop will bring together a community of solution experts from business and academia with experts in the problem domains to exchange pose questions exchange ideas. Hosted as part of the STAF multiconference\, workshop participants will be able to attend STAF events on the same day\, including conference and workshop keynotes\, to network and develop new collaborations\, business and research opportunities across a range of topics represented by the individual events. \nCLICK HERE TO BOOK YOUR PLACE TODAY\nThe aim of this workshop is to explore and present the challenges and solutions businesses encounter in the application of AI in software engineering. We are especially interested in \n\nmodel-based\, low- or no-code methods\, and domain-specific languages\nsoftware engineer tools for developing or supported by AI solutions\nAI for code generation\, debugging\, testing\, documentation\, and error correction\ndesign and process optimisation and prediction based on AI\, e.g.\, in digital twins\napplications of AI and model-based methods in application domains such as manufacturing\, health\, transport\, energy\, etc.\n\nCompanies and researchers are invited to submit extended abstracts of up to two pages relevant to the workshop’s topics and their application in industry. Abstracts could describe or suggest solutions or pose open challenges. Selected contributions will be presented at the workshop in plenary and discussion sessions. \nPlease click here to check the agenda of the day

He has published over 450 peer reviewed articles. Prof Brightling is a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences\, National Institute for Health Research Senior Investigator\, Respiratory Theme Lead for Leicester NIHR Biomedical Research Centre\, Director Institute for Lung Health\, and Honorary Consultant Respiratory Physician. He is Coordinator of the MRC Molecular Pathology Node EMBER and Respiratory lead for the IMI 3TR and was founding Director of the European Respiratory Society Clinical Research Collaborations. \nProf Brightling is the national lead for the post-COVID consortium PHOSP-COVID and local research lead for the COVID-19 pandemic. His main research focus is on improving the clinical management and understanding the immunopathogenesis of the airway diseases asthma\, chronic cough and COPD.  He is a member of the American College of Chest Physicians’ Cough Guidelines\, the British Thoracic Society\, American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society Severe Asthma guidelines and is on the scientific committee for the Global INitiative for Asthma – GINA. Prof Brightling draws on his experience in research excellence and leadership to coordinate the research teams at the University of Leicester and three Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust sites in their COVID-19 response. \n  \n \nProfessor Jacqui Shaw \nProfessor Shaw is Head of the Department of Genetics and Genome Biology\, Co-Director of the Institute for Precision Health and Professor of Translational Cancer Genetics at the University of Leicester. Her extensive expertise in innovative blood-based tests for monitoring breast and lung cancers\, known as liquid biopsies\, is highly sought after through national and international collaborations in clinical studies and trials. Professor Shaw’s research has found that breast cancer recurrence can be detected by a blood test up to two years ahead of when traditional screening techniques would be able to detect it. This highly impactful work enabled US-based genetic testing company Natera achieve the prestigious ‘Breakthrough Device’ designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2019 for their Signatera™ test\, which offers patients personalised cancer testing. \nProfessor Shaw’s research group’s expertise is in molecular diagnostics. This expertise was deployed during the coronavirus pandemic to establish and lead on asymptomatic screening for COVID-19 at the University of Leicester\, using a quick antigen test known as LAMP – Loop-mediated isothermal amplification. This screening programme has supported the University in the early detection of COVID-19 outbreaks on campus by detecting staff and students with asymptomatic cases who may have unknowingly spread the virus. \n  \n \nProfessor Pratik Choudhary \nProfessor Choudhary is an honorary consultant in Diabetes with a special interest in type 1 diabetes and technology. He has active clinical and research programs around education psychology and technology in type 1 diabetes. In particular\, using neuroimaging to explore mechanisms of hypoglycaemia unawareness and use of different strategies such as technology and behavioural interventions to restore awareness. \nProfessor Choudhary is currently chair of the Diabetes Technology Network-UK working to improve access to technology for diabetes through training education and advocacy. He has experience in academic and industry-funded early-phase studies evaluating novel glucose sensors and closed loop- artificial pancreas systems to help progress technologies\, and multinational randomised clinical trials (RCTs) and Real-World Evidence studies to support implementation and policy decisions that have enabled equitable access to developed technologies across the NHS. \n  \n \nDr James Hodgkinson \nResearch within the Hodgkinson Group is focused on the synthesis of novel chemical probes and compound libraries designed to study biological processes otherwise challenging by genetic approaches. We are specifically interested in developing chemical probes for Class I Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes and other protein partners that exist in Class I HDAC multiprotein complexes. Class I HDACs and their associated complexes have been implicated in diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Applications include using our chemical probes to investigate novel ligand-protein interactions and protein-protein interactions within HDAC complexes\, and developing heterobifunctional molecules including proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) for the targeted degradation of Class I HDACs and their associated complex partners in cancer cells. Our overall goal and vision is that our validated chemical probes will have direct applications for use by the members of chemical biology and biology communities in revealing new biology\, studying disease and ultimately aiding the discovery of new therapeutics. \n  \n \nProfessor Andre Ng \nProfessor Ng is an expert in the management of cardiac arrhythmias especially in catheter ablation and the use of mapping systems in such procedures. He has played a key role in the establishment of an active ablation programme for Atrial Fibrillation since 2002 at Glenfield Hospital and has pioneered the use of a novel robotic system in AF ablation. He has provided proctorship for new ablation technologies at many centres worldwide. He also specialises in advance device implantation including pacemakers\, implantable cardioverter defibrillators and cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) devices. \nHe has translated important preclinical findings into investigations in cardiac patients with the successful development of a novel technology for sudden death risk stratification\, LifeMap\, which won numerous prizes including Medical Futures Award 2011 – Best Innovation in Diagnostics and European Heart Rhythm Association Inventors Award 2016\, resulting in several internationally granted patents. \n  \n \nProfessor Don Jones \nProfessor Jones is co-director of the Leicester van Geest Multi-OMICs Facility\, which is a world-leading centre for biomarker research. Professor Jones’ research involves discovering and implementing novel biomarkers of disease using mass spectrometry techniques\, with particular interest in the discovery of biomarkers (proteins\, metabolites and lipids) using state-of-the-art analytical techniques in combination with novel data interrogation techniques.
