SEAI Track @ ACM SAC 2027

Smarter Engineering: Building AI and Building with AI

Following the success of the first edition at ACM SAC 2026, SEAI returns as a dedicated forum for disciplined engineering of intelligent systems and the responsible use of AI across software design, implementation, testing, deployment, and evolution.

Call for Papers is open. We invite original research papers, experience reports, empirical studies, tools, methods, datasets, benchmarks, and reproducibility packages.

Prepare a Submission

Aims and Scope

SEAI focuses on the mutual reinforcement between artificial intelligence techniques and rigorous software engineering practices.

The track welcomes work on the engineering of AI-enabled systems, the use of AI to improve software engineering activities, and the human, organizational, and ethical dimensions that shape trustworthy intelligent software.

We invite original research, experience reports, empirical studies, methods, tools, datasets, benchmarks, and reproducibility packages that advance the state of practice and research at this intersection.

Topics of Interest

Contributions may address foundations, methods, tools, empirical evidence, or deployed systems.

  • Engineering lifecycle management for AI-enabled applications
  • CI/CD/CT pipelines for ML, LLM, and adaptive components
  • Testing, verification, validation, and monitoring of intelligent systems
  • Architecture and modularity patterns for AI-based software
  • Configuration, variability, and product-line engineering for AI systems
  • AI-assisted requirements, design, coding, review, and maintenance
  • Intelligent test generation, fault localization, and automated repair
  • Prompt engineering, agentic workflows, and adaptive developer tools
  • Governance, traceability, transparency, and explainability
  • Ethical and responsible software engineering with AI
  • Human-in-the-loop engineering and collaboration with AI systems
  • Empirical studies on productivity, quality, reliability, and process impact
