Abstract

The application of AI techniques to software engineeringhas suffered, from the perspective of practising software engineers, due to a tradition of testing ideas and theories on small, toy domains.At the IJCAI-95 Workshop on AI and Software Engineering we focused on this issue, and here we discuss some of the results of that workshop, identifying the major weaknesses in AI&SE research, and offer someinsight into the future of the field.
