Prof. Washizaki is honored to have contributed to the IEEE Megatrends 2030 Report, which predicts the evolution of several important global trends, including the huge impacts of AI on energy, health, space, and automation/robotics (physical AI). Special thanks to Dr. Dejan Milojicic for his outstanding, long-standing leadership. The initiative has been delivered by the IEEE Future Directions Committee’s Industry Advisory Board in collaboration with the IEEE Santa Clara Valley Section, the IEEE Computer Society, and the IEEE Industry Engagement.

Prof. Washizaki delivered his invited talk, titled “Technology Predictions and Software Engineering with Blockchain,” at the International Conference on Ubiquitous Trusted Intelligence (UTI2026), Beijing and online.

IEEE CISOSE 2026 and the IEEE Future Technology Summit 2026 Fukuoka, sponsored and supported by the IEEE Computer Society, took place. Prof. Washizaki delivered his opening remarks to celebrate not only the 22nd and 12th editions of the SOSE conference and the CISOSE congress, but also the IEEE Computer Society’s 80th anniversary.

The lab members had a great time bowling! The greatest value of a lab lies not only in its research activities and outcomes, but in its people—the opportunity to build trust, exchange ideas, inspire one another, and enjoy being together as a team.

42年目を迎える伝統と革新の日科技連ソフトウェア品質管理研究会（JUSE SQiP 研究会）、恒例の夏合宿を開催。各コースに分かれての充実の研究・演習・学習の取り組みに加えて、講師・参加者間のコースを超えた幅広い交流機会となりました。生成AI＆エージェント時代のソフトウェア品質を、多面的に、ますます広く深く取り上げていきます。

We held the SmartSE seminar on CyBOK and security. Dr. Yulia provided us with an amazing tutorial on the Cyber Security Body of Knowledge: CyBOK. Prof. Washizaki presented the related security knowledge area of the SWEBOK Guide (a product of the IEEE Computer Society). We had a great discussion and a start of further collaboration among BoKs and the community.
