Software is an integral part of our lives today. It is in the heart of a wide range of systems, from large management systems for health care or electricity power stations to small and local systems as smart home or even coffee machines. Modern software systems are highly complex and often have multiple dependencies on external parts such as other processes or services. This poses new challenges and exacerbate existing challenges in different aspects of Software Engineering (SE) including design, testing, debugging, and software lifecycle management. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a growing field in computer science that has been proven effective in a variety of areas such as intelligent agents in the stock market, anomaly detection and diagnosis, and intelligent algorithms for smart cities design. In the last two decades there is a substantial interest in applying and developing AI techniques to address various SE challenges. The purpose of this volume is twofold: (1) to introduce the main research subjects in the field of AI methods for SE, and (2) to discuss the challenges and opportunities in this field, and present the state-of-the-art.
