Recording of the brownbag seminar by Anders Aronsson from Ericsson Research, presenting their research and how it impacts society. Abstract: Who are we at Ericsson Research in Gothenburg and what are we really doing? What does “research” mean within our company, and how does it look like? Some examples and how we aim to make an impact on our society. Link to the recording on YouTube:

Deep neural networks trained on source code have been shown to automate routine development tasks such as code completion, comments generation, etc. But is such an AI expert in coding also an expert in software design? With design often being considered as a specialist skill, what do we do to ensure that the model understands nuances of SW design? Ensuring this opens up possibilities of automating design-related tasks. This talk

“Macrodebts” in microservices: understanding and managing them September 13 @ 12:00 – 12:30 Speakers: Antonio Martini and Saulo Soares de Toledo Link to the video: https://youtu.be/WzRilnNJynM The microservices architectural style is increasing in popularity because it helps companies deliver value to their customers fast and continuously. However, a microservice architecture is prone to costly architectural technical debt (ATD), if not timely identified and avoided or removed. The most important ATDs
