This study investigates the relationship between Generative AI (GenAI) and low code development Platforms (LCDPs), providing preliminary insights into Gen's transformative potential in this context. It is based on expert interviews and provides insight into the changing landscape of LCDPs influenced by GenAI. The findings highlight the promising benefits of GenAI in LCDPs, such as increased efficiency and decreased errors, while also emphasizing the importance of human oversight and collaboration. The findings also highlight the importance of interpersonal skills in IT, even in an increasingly automated environment. While the economic efficiency and broader implications of GenAI are still being investigated, the study lays the groundwork for future research in this rapidly evolving domain.

The increasing demand for software solutions in the coming years will surpass the availability of IT talent, driving interest in citizen development and low-code approaches. However, the lack of technical insight among citizen developers poses potential security risks. This research aims to support businesses adopting citizen development by providing a framework that helps to proactively identify security risks by also linking them to specific actors and tools needed during the system design and development process to mitigate those risks. Additionally, this framework helps to address knowledge gaps by outlining actionable steps to ensure secure low-codedevelopment practices. The research aims to answer the question: "How can contextual information be modeled in low-code platforms to proactively identify and address security-related issues, acting as a virtual mentor for citizen / low-code developers?". To answer this question, our research conceptualizes security risks from established frameworks and operational security methodologies into a practical framework that allows mapping security risks to the context of low-codedevelopment. This framework serves as a foundational platform for designing and integrating active process-oriented guidance within low-code platforms using model-based automated prompts. This approach additionally aligns with DevSecOps principles that allows enhancing the capacity for low-code approach and citizen development in areas that currently may include manual coding and integrations.

Corporate digitalization, especially among Small and Medium Enterprises, has led to a significant increase in the demand for scarce professionals with expertise in the IT area, especially in Web Information Systems area. On the other hand, concerns about high levels of resource idleness in the cloud are constant. In this scenario, low-code Platforms have gained traction in the software industry, whose most commonly found service is the automation of code generation to perform data persistence tasks driven by data models. This approach, however, implies a mode of operation that is not the most mature among cloud computing providers, implying for each model a service instance running on the provider side. Here, we propose a data persistence service for these platforms that avoids code generation, since it interprets data models at runtime and operates in multi-tenant mode with a single service instance. This approach improves resource sharing, mitigating resource idleness within the platform. In addition, we present experiments to support the technical feasibility of the proposed approach. The proposed solution offers an alternative to code generation methods, with the potential to optimize resource utilization while preserving the flexibility to adapt to changes in data models as business needs evolve.

Workflows are pervasive in software systems where business processes and scientific methods are implemented as workflow models to achieve automated process execution. However, despite the benefit of no/low-code workflow automation, creating workflow models requires in-depth domain knowledge and non-trivial workflow modeling skills, which becomes a hurdle for the proliferation of workflow applications. Recently, Large language models (LLMs) have been widely applied in software code generation given their outstanding ability to understand complex instructions and generate accurate, context-aware code. Inspired by the success of LLMs in code generation, this paper aims to investigate how to use LLMs to automate workflow model generation. We present LLM4Workflow, an LLM-based automated workflow model generation tool. Using workflow descriptions as the input, LLM4Workflow can automatically embed relevant API knowledge and leverage LLM's powerful contextual learning abilities to generate correct and executable workflow models. Its effectiveness was validated through functional verification and simulation tests on a real-world workflow system. LLM4Workflow is open sourced at https://***/ISEC-AHU/LLM4Workflow, and the demo video is provided at https://***/XRQ0saKkuxY.

This paper presents a comprehensive case study on the Q-Survey, a chatbot-based qualitative survey tool developed using the Double-Diamond design process. The study delves into the intricacies of balancing user experience (UX) with technical challenges inherent in chatbot development. A significant focus is placed on the role of lowcode (LC) and No code (NC) tools in facilitating rapid prototype development and testing. While these tools offer agility and ease in the early stages, their limitations become evident as the complexity of the system grows, prompting a reflection on their continued utility in advanced development stages. The Repertory Grid Technique (RGT) is explored as a potential tool for online qualitative surveys, with discussions on its complexity and the potential enhancements using advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools. Through the lens of the Q-Survey and experts' evaluation of this case, we discuss the broader implications of LC tools in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) design, emphasizing the need for a structured framework for HCI design with LC. The study concludes with reflections on the current design, potential future directions, and the importance of continuous exploration of LC, especially in the realm of LLMs and coding tools based on LLMs.

Manufacturing execution systems (MES) are the central integration point for the shop floor. They collect information about customer orders from ERP systems (enterprise resource planning), calculate the best plans for production orders and their assignment to machines and monitor the execution of these plans. It is therefore also the central data hub on the shop floor and communicates progress back to the ERP system. However, each company and production facility is a bit different and it is a hard decision to find a good compromise between standard products with a long customization period, industry-specific solutions with less customization need and company-specific solutions with long development times. This paper proposes the use of business process management (BPM) as a means for easy graphical customization of production processes that lead to immediately executable workflows (zero codedevelopment) or need very few code additions to get executable (low code development).
