We had a pleasant meeting and gathering to welcome new students and members at a great, vibrant place!

Prof. Washizaki joined the IEEE R8 meeting in Budapest to introduce the IEEE-CS’s updates and strategies incl. new initiatives to the European, Middle Eastern and African community leaders.

Prof. Washizaki honored to receive the IPSJ SIG Activity Contribution Award. Thank you to the SIG Software Engineering organizers and committee members for leading the community together. 鷲崎教授が情報処理学会 研究会活動貢献賞を受領しました。共にソフトウェア工学研究会をリードしてきた幹事・運営委員皆様に感謝いたします。

New Ph.D., Master and Bachelor students joined our lab this April 2025. Welcome!

Thanks to all chairs, shepherds, faculty members and student volunteers, community supporters, authors and attendees, we had a great AsianPLoP 2025: 11th Asian Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs, People & Practices at beautiful Tunghai University, Taichun! Great patterns, practices, people! See you all in Yokohama next year!

Tunghai University Jwo, Mei, and all related members and students generously hosted the AsianPLoP 2025 at their beautiful campus, where old meets new. It is truly great to tighten connections and expand our community in Taiwan, Japan, and other areas in Asia and globally! Next year, the conference will be held in Yokohama, Japan, and will be chaired by the next leaders and early career professionals, Tomoki Ito and Kiyoka Hayashi.

From our lab, Takumi’s paper titled “Machine Learning Application Argument Patterns” was successfully workshoped. Furthermore, I co-authored another paper on data-driven process improvement patterns primarily authored by Dr. Komuro.

We were invited to the National Library of Public Information (NLPI), which leverages digital technology to innovate in the field of librarianship, including the LLM-based AI Librarian, which utilizes software engineering and design patterns! It was so great to see how patterns are active in the field.

We had a ceremony in memory of Prof. Eduardo Fernandez (Ed) for recognizing his tremendous achievements in patterns and contribution to the pattern community. He helped us form a community in Asia and other areas. We were honored to provide him with the AsianPLoP Luminary. RIP.

Prof. Washizaki gave a talk at the IEEE Young Professional Conference – Ignitia 2025, organized by IEEE CS Student Chapter, IEEE Pranveer Singh Institute of Technology (PSIT) Student Branch.

Prof. Washizaki provided my opening remarks, including the vision and goals, at the IEEE Computer Society Students and Young Professionals (SYP) All Hands Meet 2025. It was so inspiring and engaging. Thank you to all SYP leaders and volunteers, who are the key to achieving engagement goals and expanding our community. Let’s continue spreading our membership, program, and activities!
