The demand for software in modern society is constantly outgrowing the industry's possibility of delivery. In the era in which the world is run by computers, the requirements are shifting from focusing the strictly functional software to seeking the user-friendly omnipresent multi-device highly-available artificially intelligent and functional software that is constantly being fed with data from different sources.

To cope with such requirements of perpetually changing technological, development and deployment ecosystems, software development teams are reaching for novel approaches and scientists are urging to propose new knowledge and rationale in all aspects of software development and beyond. Thus, this session strives to serve as a polygon for scientists and practitioners to disseminate and discuss the new and emerging trends in software engineering practices bridging the mentioned gap.
