YouTube Live @ IEEE CASS Rio Grande do Sul Chapter Abstract:

In the attempt to face the dramatic shortage of skilled software developers, beside the Generative AI pathway there is a new emerging paradigm: Low-Code/No-Code application development. Gartner predicts that this year over 75% of newly written software will be LC/NC. The founding pillar of LC/NC is the management of complexity in such a way that application domain experts who cannot code are enabled to develop applications competently and proficiently. Its development was not always monotone, as will be illustrated along examples from research and industrial projects.We will describe what is LC/NC, its roots in both the software development methods and the modelling culture, and some of the commonalities and differences it has with key methodological achievements in hardware design, verification and synthesis. The recently started R@ISE Strategic Partnership Project at the University of Limerick aims to build and validate a new generation of collaborative LC/NC application development environment infused with formal methods, whose philosophy is strongly influenced by hardware design.

Short CV:
Prof, Tiziana Margaria is Chair of Software Systems at the Dept. of Computer Science and Information Systems at the University of Limerick. She received her Laurea in ingeneria Eettronica (1988) from Poltecnico di Torino and her Dottorato di ricerca in Ingegneria Informatica e dei Sistemi in 1993. In 2014 she moved to Ireland at the University of Limerick. She has broad experience in the use of formal methods for high assurance systems, in particular concerning functional verification, reliability, and compliance of complex heterogeneous systems. Current application domains are to embedded systems, healthcare, and smart advanced manufacturing. She is Vicepresident of the Irish Computer Society and of IFIP WG10.5. She is a principal investigator of Lero, the Irish research centre on Software, Confirm, the Irish national Research Centre on Smart Manufacturing, of LDCRC, the Limerick Digital Cancer Research Centre, and co-director of the SFI Centre of Research Training in AI. Her most recent achievement is the Immersive Software Engineering integrated BSc/MSc, which is a tightly knit ecosystem spanning education, industrial practice and research. She is a member of IEEE CS and since January 2024 Associate Editor in Chief of the IEEE CS IT Professional.
