This volume focuses on current and future trends in the interplay between software engineering and artificial intelligence.

This interplay is now critical to the success of both disciplines, and it also affects a wide range of subject areas. The articles in this volume survey the significant work that has been accomplished, describe the state of the art, analyze the current trends, and predict which future directions have the most potential for success. Areas covered include requirements engineering, real-time systems, reuse technology, development environments and meta-environments, process representations, safety-critical systems, and metrics and measures for processes and products.
