Registration - CASCONBuilding on the success of our inaugural workshop, the 2nd SENGEC workshop continues to explore the intersection of software engineering and economics. In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, understanding the economic implications of software development decisions is more critical than ever. This workshop brings together industry experts and academic researchers to share insights on optimizing software investments, measuring ROI, managing technical debt, and implementing cost-effective development practices.
In this talk, Michael Harrison explores how process automation and workflow optimization transformed offering onboarding at enterprise scale. By automating key friction points across compliance and operational readiness gates, his team reduced manual effort and decision latency, enabling accelerated delivery and unlocking substantial new revenue. The presentation examines the challenge, the process improvements implemented, and lessons for balancing speed with governance.
In this talk, Jimmy Yan presents an AI-enabled Slack Bot, powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and a tool-box orchestration approach, designed to streamline vulnerability management. By automating ticket triage, fix assignment, exception identification, and documentation drafting, the bot significantly reduces manual effort and accelerates resolution timelines, offering tangible business value through reduced developer headcount needs and enhanced compliance efficiency.
