The RAISE'13 workshop brought together researchers from the AI and software engineering disciplines to build on the interdisciplinary synergies which exist and to stimulate research across these disciplines. The first part of the workshop was devoted to current results and consisted of presentations and discussion of the state of the art. This was followed by a second part which looked over the horizon to seek future directions, inspired by a number of selected vision statements concerning the AI-and-SE crossover. The goal of the RAISE workshop was to strengthen the AI-and-SE community and also develop a roadmap of strategic research directions for AI and software engineering.

Any area of research and education aims to build a body of validated knowledge (facts, theories, models, rules of thumb, etc.) that can form a stable foundation for practice, education and continued research. For the field of Designing Interactive Systems, what are the lasting principles that form the basis of our understanding of complex design problems and provide guidance to designers? In this talk, we will suggest some lasting principles for the Design of Interactive Systems.A unifying theme is the idea that interactive systems assume or contain conceptual models of the worlds with which they interact and in which they perform their functions. The critical success factors for interactive systems - how they achieve their goals, align with their environments, adapt to changing requirements, recover from errors, etc. - depend on the development of these conceptual models as much as on the development of the code. This perspective has consequences for the users, designers and sponsors of the artifacts we design. The talk will explore the role of models and modeling in the analysis, design, deployment and evolution of systems.

Service-providing enterprises (SPEs) employ systems composed of people, computer hardware and software, and other mechanisms to perform service actions in the customer's environment as well as to carry out internal operations as part of the SPE infrastructure. These systems are termed service-oriented systems (SOSs). The authors address the question of how to reformulate and simplify the requirements engineering process by adopting an SOS paradigm. It is shown that there are advantages to viewing many large, complex systems within the SOS paradigm. This is due to the increasingly service-oriented economy as well as the increased demands for a paradigm for integration of and interoperability between systems across multiple enterprises. The domain of SOSs is described, together with the technique by which SPE forms the context for requirements modeling and analysis. A requirements modeling framework consisting of several viewpoints and their interrelationships is outlined in order to define the SOS requirements analysis task. The context in which the defined requirements modeling task will be useful is explained.>

A discussion on recording requirements assumptions and rationale is summarized. Among the topics discussed by the participants are: incrementality in rational management; grounding argumentations in construction; architecture for integrated design environments; requirements definition in design; representation of rationale; rationale management systems; and incremental formalization of rationale.>
