総務省ICTクラブ事業「こどものミライ」（研究参画: 早稲田大学）にて品川測器製作所さんの工場を見学させていただきました。アナログとデジタル、センサの仕組み、ものづくりや試験の現場に触れ、はんだごても握る貴重な機会に。以降の活動につなげたいと思います。関係者の皆様、有難うございました！

WESPr-18 was over! Great talks and discussions on Security and Privacy in IoT/AI! We had joint social gathering together with iMLSE, QuASoQ and WISE. It was great to share ideas and connect with each other over different communities.

Prof. Washizaki hosted ISO/IEC/JTC1 SC7WG20 Tokyo Interim Meeting at Waseda University from Nov 24 to 27. WG20 is standardizing Body of Knowledge, Skill and Competence as well as related Profesionalism and Certification in Software and Systems Engineering.

SmartSE and MLSE held a joint seminar on Machine Learning and Software Engineering at NII today. Prof. Giuliano, Prof. Foutse and Prof. Hongyu gave us great talks about ML engineering and SE for ML. Also Prof. Washizaki gave brief introduction of SmartSE.

We had a nice meeting with Prof. Tsong Yueh Chen to discuss research problems and further possible collaboration in Software Testing and related areas. In addition, we enjoyed dinner at Japanese old house-style restraunt.

Visiting Assoc. Prof. Kazunori Sakamoto (CEO of WillBooster) joined our team. Welcome!

Conventional quality evaluations of software concentrate on specific quality characteristics. Moreover, the measurement data are limited to specific products and organizations. Consequently, the present state of product quality and quality-in-use characteristics are not fully understood, preventing effective decision-making for software stakeholders. To alleviate this problem, ISO/IEC defined international standards called the SQuaRE (Systems and software Quality Requirements an Evaluation) series for comprehensive quality measurement and evaluation. However, these standards remain rather general and abstract, making them difficult to apply. In this paper, we establish a SQuaRE-based comprehensive software quality evaluation framework, Waseda Software Quality Framework (WSQF), which concretizes many product quality and quality-in-use measurement methods originally defined in the SQuaRE series. By applying the WSQF to 21 commercial ready-to-use software products, we revealed the status of software product quality. A resulted comprehensive benchmark includes trends of the quality measurement values, relationships among quality characteristics, relationship between quality-in-use and product quality, and relationship between the quality characteristics and product contexts within the limits of an application.
