During the last three decades, automation in software development has gone mainstream. Software development teams strive to automate as much of the software development activities as possible, spanning requirements specification, system modeling, code generation, testing, deployment, verification, as well as release phases, project status reporting, and system maintenance. Automation helps to reduce development time and cost, as well as to concentrate knowledge by bringing quality into every step of the development process.
Realizing high-quality software systems requires producing software that is efficient, error-free, cost-effective, and that satisfies evolving requirements. Thus, one of the most crucial factors impacting software quality concerns not only the automation of the development process but also the ability to verify the outcomes of each process activity and the goodness of the resulting software product as well.
This becomes particularly true these days when we are, and will be, increasingly surrounded by a virtually infinite number of software artifacts -- often underspecified -- that can be composed to build new applications. This situation radically changes the way software will be produced and used:
Despite great interest in automated and verifiable software system development, no common formal aspects and software engineering approaches have been fully established yet. Developing software systems via an automated generation and verification method encompasses a variety of foundational principles and practical aspects, ranging from modeling and analysis issues to model-checking, from model-driven development techniques and code synthesis to run-time management issues, and AI approaches such as machine learning tools and large language models (LLMs).
ASYDE 2024 aims to provide a forum to share and discuss innovative contributions to research and practice related to novel software engineering approaches to automated and verifiable development of software systems.

ASYDE 2024 welcomes research papers, experience papers and tool presentations; nevertheless, papers describing novel research contributions and innovative applications are of particular interest.
Contribution can be:
Regular papers (up to 10 pages): in this category fall those contributions that propose novel research contributions, address challenging problems with innovative ideas, or offer practical contributions (e.g., industrial experiences and case studies) in the application software engineering approaches for building software systems via automated development and verification. Regular papers should clearly describe the situation or problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested, and the potential benefits of the contribution. Authors of papers reporting industrial experiences are strongly encouraged to make their experimental results available for use by reviewers. Similarly, case-study papers should describe significant case studies and the complete development should be made available for use by reviewers.
Short papers (up to 5 pages): this category includes tool demonstrations, position papers, well-pondered and sufficiently documented visionary papers. Tool demonstration papers should explain enhancements made in comparison to previously published work. Authors of demonstration papers should make their tool available for use by reviewers.
All papers must:
Submissions are required to report on original, unpublished work and should not be submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere.
Each submitted paper will undergo a formal peer review process by at least 3 Program Committee members.
Accepted papers will be included in the ASE's conference proceedings.
We plan to invite selected papers to submit an extended version to a special issue on a Journal related to the topics of the Workshop.
Paper submission is done via EasyChair. The submission site will open soon.
