A Study of Model Integration in ML-Enabled Software Systems

We are a research team from the Ruhr University Bochum, ITU Copenhagen and Chalmers | University of Gothenburg investigating ML-enabled software systems. Engineering such systems that rely on ML technologies for certain features is quite challenging, in fact, a whooping 80% of such projects fail. Therefore, the survey elicits practices and challenges related to the integration of ML models into software.

We invite practitioners involved with ML-enabled systems, such as developers, data scientists, or project managers, to take part. Your benefit is to reflect about your practices, learn about others' practices, and later receive a state-of-practice report with the results of this survey. 

The survey takes only 15 minutes to fill in. It contains questions on the ML technologies used in systems, on the integration of ML models into software and the reuse of ML models. Learn more about the study on our website: https://se.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/research/ml-enabled-systems/.
