“How will generative AI change system development?” The panel article with GenAI and system development leadership MOTOYAMA-san and OGAWA Hideto-san from Hitachi Ltd. on the application of generative AI to system development is now available. Take a look at it!

The IEEE Computer Society held its ExCom, Board of Goveners, and Technical Activities Committee meetings as well as the IEEE-CS Global Chapters Summit in Odaiba, Tokyo! Such an incredible week! Thank you all for organizing and participating in these meetings and events!

The lab members visited the Ubayashi-sensei’s house. Thank you for inviting us, sensei

The lab members had a great time bowling!

Husen, “An Empirical Study of VR Software Quality Based on Developer Forums and ISO/IEC 25010,” 19th IEEE International Workshop on Quality Oriented Reuse of Software (QUORS 2025), co-located with COMPSAC, Toronto, Toronto, Canada, July 8-11, 2025.

Prof. Washizaki visited IEEE International Symposium on Hardware Oriented Security and Trust (HOST’25), sponsored by IEEE Computer Society and others, in Santa Clara and met with chairs/organizers. Very important theme, addressed by strong team and community! http://www.hostsymposium.org/

Prof. Washizaki joined IEEE CAI2025 (Conference on AI, sponsored by IEEE @ComputerSociety with CIS, SMC, SPS, and industry sponsors) at Santa Clara. Great conference, ideas & people in AI with a particular focus on industry application. Lab student Yuya presented his paper titled “LLM-based Automated Mitigation and Assurance Case Generation Against Threats to AI Systems.” See you all in Granada next year! https://cai.ieee.org

Thanks to Bashar, Amel and all, Prof. Washizaki was honored to be invited to provide a talk “Landscape of Requirements Engineering for/by AI through Literature Review” at RAISE: Requirements engineering for AI-powered SoftwarE. Great workshop&people!

We celebrated the 50th anniversary of the ICSE—International Conference on Software Engineering, which started in 1975 (as NCSE). Congratulations to all organizers, professionals, students, societies, and communities (particularly IEEE Computer Society TCSE and ACM Sigsoft), as well as organizations organizing and being involved in ICSEs for such a huge milestone! And congrats to all award recipients, including Prof. Bashar, for the IEEE Harlan D Mills award!
