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!

Had a very 1st IEEE SWEBOK Summit in Ottawa with great keynotes, talks, and panels! (sponsored by IEEE Computer Society) It was a great opportunity to collaborate, share experiences and challenges, and provide future research directions on the SWEBOK Guide, certifications and other related products and models! Thank you all for coming, and let’s grow the community and evolve BOKs together! Distinguished speakers incl. Steve Tockey Frances Paulisch (Gerd Hoefner) Rik Essenius Deborah Silver Peter Leather Marco Tulio Valente Annette Reilly Alain Abran Nancy Mead Daniel S. Katz Jari Porras Ahmed E.

Thanks to IEEE Region 10 (Director Prof. Takako Hashimoto), lab students and Prof. Washizaki were honored to be invited to attend the IEEE Honors Ceremony Gala. With the presence of Her Royal Highness Takamadonomiya-sama, it was the greatest ceremony to celebrate all award winners (represented by IEEE Medal of Honor Laureate Henry Samueli and others), distinguished guests, and community leaders.

Lab students and I were invited to attend the IEEE VIC Summit to join the celebration of IEEE Medal of Honor laureate Henry Samueli and other award recipients, distinguished speakers and guests, and community leaders. I met old and new friends there. Stephen Wozniak provided a remarkable talk on his experience founding of Apple computer and more. Thanks to the IEEE Award committee and Region 10 (Director Prof. Hashimoto), IEEE Japan, and all organizers and sponsors for making this happen!

Prof. Paolo (Politecnico di Torino) and IEEE Director Nancy generously provided their talks on collaboration and IEEE Eta Kappa Nu (HKN). IEEE-HKN is receiving applications to Frank and Shelly Chang Outstanding Student Scholarship.

Prof. Washizaki joined the inauguration ceremony of the IEEE Computer Society Chapter Bhubaneswar Section. Congratulations on launching the chapter, and welcome to the world’s largest computing professional society!
