Abstract: This report documents the program and the outcomes of the Dagstuhl Seminar 19471 “BOTse: Bots in Software Engineering”. This Dagstuhl seminar brought researchers and practitioners together from multiple research communities with disparate views of what bots are and what they can do for software engineering. The goals were to understand how bots are used today, how they could be used in innovative ways in the future, how the use of bots can be compared and synthesized, and to identify and share risks and challenges that may emerge from using bots in practice. The report briefly summarizes the goals and format of the seminar and provides selected insights and results collected during the seminar. Seminar November 17–22, 2019 – http://www.dagstuhl.de/19471 2012 ACM Subject Classification Human-centered computing, Software and its engineering
