Modeling in the AI-Driven world

In the last years, model-driven engineering (MDE) has been key to improving the quality and productivity of software development, but models themselves are becoming increasingly complex to specify and manage. At the same time, we are witnessing the growing popularity of vibe coding approaches that rely on Large Language Models (LLMs) to transform natural language descriptions into running code at the expenses of code vulnerabilities, scalability issues and maintainability concerns.

In this talk, I will discuss how we are trying to combine the best of both worlds in our low-code platform BESSER, an open-source platform to build all types of hybrid systems. From vibe modeling to spec-driven development, we will discuss how modeling for AI and AI for modeling are being integrated in BESSER and what we have learnt along the way.

Jordi Cabot is an FNR Pearl Chair and the head of the Software Engineering RDI group at the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology. He is also an Affiliate Professor in Computer Science at the University of Luxembourg. His research interests include software modeling and low-code technologies, pragmatic formal model verification, analysis of open source/open data communities, and the role AI can play in software development (and vice versa).
