The title of the talk is “The Upstream Shift: How AI Changes Organisations That Build Software” and i t will take place in room 1055N at 4PM on 12 November 2026.\n\nAbstract:\n \nGenerative AI is changing how software gets built. But the biggest shift is not that AI can write code. It is that\, as code generation becomes ro utine\, the real value in software development is moving somewhere else en tirely.\n\nIn this talk\, I argue that value is migrating upstream\, to re quirements engineering: the fundamentally human work of aligning stakehold ers\, resolving ambiguity\, and turning intention into something a system can act on. Drawing on research into agile requirements engineering and an empirical study of AI-assisted development in industrial practice\, I sho w why requirements have always been the bottleneck in software projects\, and why AI is now making that bottleneck impossible to ignore.\n\nThis shi ft matters acutely for software modernization\, where legacy systems encod e decades of undocumented constraints\, and the informal conversations tha t once kept shared knowledge alive are quietly disappearing. Organisations that have not yet built governance frameworks for this transition are alr eady feeling the consequences.\n\nThe talk closes with two open questions: how should development organisations restructure around where value is no w created\, and how do we develop the next generation of engineers in a wo rld where the traditional path through hands-on development is changing be yond recognition?\n\nMore info at https://elite-se.informatik.uni-augsburg .de/guest-lecture-by-dr-jan-philipp-steghofer-from-xitaso-12-11-2026/ URL;VALUE=URI:https://elite-se.informatik.uni-augsburg.de/guest-lecture-by -dr-jan-philipp-steghofer-from-xitaso-12-11-2026/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:e9743df8-b417-47bb-8987-e59b4d318634 SEQUENCE:0 DTSTAMP:20261007T075536Z DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260521T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260521T180000 SUMMARY:Ringvorlesung: Dr. Alexander Ulrich from Oracle DESCRIPTION:Dr. Alexander Ulrich from Oracle will give a talk in the elite program’s special lecture series. The title of the talk is “Eliminati ng the Data Tax: Server-Side Logic in Oracle Database” and it will take place in room 1055N at 4PM on 21 May 2026.\n\nAbstract:\n\nModern applicat ions often pay a hidden “data tax”: data is stored in one system\, pro cessed in another\, and repeatedly moved across network and process bounda ries. This adds latency\, complexity\, and operational cost. One way to re duce this tax is to move computation closer to the data.\n\nThis lecture e xplores how Oracle Database is evolving into an execution environment for data-centric applications. We will discuss the motivations\, trade-offs\, and systems challenges of running application logic directly inside the da tabase engine.\n\nThe first part focuses on server-side logic in modern la nguages\, including Oracle’s support for JavaScript and WebAssembly in t he database\, powered by GraalVM. The second part discusses lightweight is olation for such workloads\, focusing on GraalOS\, a userspace sandboxing project developed at Oracle that aims to combine strong multi-tenant isola tion with low overhead and fast startup.\n\nThe talk connects ideas from d atabase systems\, programming language runtimes\, operating systems\, and cloud infrastructure.\n\nBiography:\n\nAlexander Ulrich is a Director in O racle’s Database division\, where he leads research and development team s. He has been interested in database systems since his undergraduate stud ies and holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Tübingen.\ n\nMore info at https://elite-se.informatik.uni-augsburg.de/guest-lecture- by-dr-alexander-ulrich-from-oracle-21-05-2026/ URL;VALUE=URI:https://elite-se.informatik.uni-augsburg.de/guest-lecture-by -dr-alexander-ulrich-from-oracle-21-05-2026/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:bd7edb92-4a83-4fd4-9760-0d117503724e SEQUENCE:0 DTSTAMP:20261007T075536Z DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260528T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260528T180000 SUMMARY:Ringvorlesung: Franziska Kroneck und Dr. Andrea Nutsi from msg DESCRIPTION:Franziska Kroneck und Dr. Andrea Nutsi from msg will give a ta lk in the elite program’s special lecture series. The title of the talk is “User Research in Theorie und Praxis – Lehrbuch vs Realität” and it will take place in room 1055N at 4PM on 28th May 2026.\n\nAbstract:\n\ nUser Research ist ein zentraler Bestandteil nutzerzentrierter Produktentw icklung – verläuft in der Praxis jedoch selten so strukturiert wie im L ehrbuch. In diesem Gastvortrag geben Dr. Andrea Nutsi und Franziska Kronec k von der msg systems ag einen Einblick in Theorie\, Methoden und reale Pr ojektpraxis professioneller User Research.\n\nAnhand eines Praxisprojekts aus dem öffentlichen Sektor werden quantitative und qualitative Methoden vorgestellt\, kritisch reflektiert und in ihren Rahmenbedingungen eingeord net. Thematisiert werden typische Herausforderungen wie komplexe Stakehold er Strukturen\, Zeit und Budgetrestriktionen\, Datenschutzfragen sowie der Umgang mit Widerständen gegenüber ergebnisoffener Forschung. Ergänzend werden Chancen und Grenzen von KI im User Research diskutiert.\n\nDer Vor trag richtet sich an Studierende mit Interesse im Bereich User Experience und verbindet theoretische Grundlagen mit ehrlichen Einblicken in die Anwe ndung von User Research im Projektalltag.\n\nMore info at https://elite-se .informatik.uni-augsburg.de/guest-lecture-by-franziska-kroneck-und-dr-andr ea-nutsi-from-msg-28-05-2026/ URL;VALUE=URI:https://elite-se.informatik.uni-augsburg.de/guest-lecture-by -franziska-kroneck-und-dr-andrea-nutsi-from-msg-28-05-2026/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:ee9efce2-8f5b-4dad-b7a9-0e63132969c6 SEQUENCE:0 DTSTAMP:20261007T075536Z DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260709T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260709T180000 SUMMARY:Ringvorlesung: Dr. Cornel Klein und Dr. Kilian Telschig from Sieme ns DESCRIPTION:Dr. Cornel Klein und Dr. Kilian Telschig from Siemens will giv e a talk in the elite program’s special lecture series.
