• Abstract: Continuous Integration (CI) is widely adopted in modern software development, yet adoption decisions are often made without systematic consideration of project context. Platforms such as GitHub Actions lower the barrier to CI adoption but provide limited support for grounding adoption decisions in project characteristics, leading to redundant services, unmaintained workflows, and costly migrations. Existing research and tooling primarily focus on improving CI after adoption, offering little guidance for assessing suitability before adoption. As a result, CI is frequently treated as universally beneficial rather than context-dependent. This paper envisions a shift from default CI adoption to deliberate, context-aware decision-making. We propose an AI-enabled framework that assesses whether projects are likely to benefit from CI, recommends suitable CI services based on project characteristics, and provides configuration guidance tailored to project needs. We outline a research agenda combining developer studies, large-scale repository mining, and recommendation system design to enable informed CI adoption decisions and prevent inefficiencies before they occur.

  Predictive optimization is the precise modeling of many real-world applications, including energy cost-aware scheduling and budget allocation on advertising. We develop a modular framework to benchmark 11 existing PtO/PnO methods on 8 problems, including a new industrial dataset for advertising. Our study shows that PnO approaches are better than PtO on 7 out of 8 benchmarks, but there is no silver bullet found for the specific design choices of PnO.
