Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering: Breaking the Toy Mold

摘要

The application of AI techniques to software engineering has 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 onthis issue, and here we discuss some of the results of that workshop, identifying the major weaknesses in AI&SE research, and offer some insight into the future of the field.
