Mr. Yaozhu Sun’s Visit
Yaozhu Sun, a PhD student at University of Hong Kong, visited our group and gave a seminar talk on his work on compositional programming. Since he stayed in our group as an exchange student five years ago, it was very nice to have his re-visit.
JSS Article on Code Legibility
Our paper, entitled “A Systematic Literature Review on the Impact of Formatting Elements on Code Legibility”, authored by Delano Oliveira, Reydne Santos, Fernanda Madeiral, Hidehiko Masuhara, and Fernando Castor, is accepted by the Journal of Systems and Software. It is our pleasure to publish the result of our collaboration including the Fernando’s visit in 2019.

New Members and a Promotion
We welcome six new undergraduate members and one master course member to the group in this spring. We also proudly announce that Youyou Cong is advanced to the tenure track, which means she will officially supervise students. (That’s why we have more undergrads this year than before.)
- Yuusei Yoshimura (Master’s course)
- Cahyono Jessica Belicia (Undergraduate)
- Ryota Inaba (Undergraduate)
- Satsuki Kasuya (Undergraduate)
- Hironori Kawazoe (Undergraduate)
- Taito Suda (Undergraduate)
- Akane Taniguchi (Undergraduate)
We now have 20 students and 2 faculty members. One of our first challenges is to remember each other’s names.😉
Graduation March 2023
We celebrated graduation of our members. This year, 2 doctors, 3 masters and 2 bachelors were awarded their degrees. Four of them left the university while three will continue to work with us to pursuit the next degrees. We wish their bright future no matter where they will be!
Izawa received the PhD degree and will work as a researcher in a global company. Tanabe also received the PhD degree and will work as a post-doctoral researcher at Kyoto University. Ikemori received the Master’s degree and will pursuit the PhD degree in our group. Furudono and Takahashi also received the Master’s degrees and will work as a researcher/developer in tech companies. Kiuch and Sakai received the Bachelor’s degrees and will pursuit the Master’s degrees in our group.
An InfoSoft Journal Article on COP Layer Activation Mechanism
A paper entitled “An Expressive and Modular Layer Activation Mechanism for Context-Oriented Programming”, authored by Paul Leger, Nicolas Cardozo, and Hidehiko Masuhara, is accepted by the journal on Information and Software Technology. The paper proposes a mechanism that increases modularity in context-oriented programming while offering a good level expressiveness, and demonstrated its usefulness in our JavaScript-based context-oriented programming language.
We started this project when Paul visits our group in 2019. We are happy to present one of the results of the visit in this way.

Prof. Castor’s Visit
Professor Fernando Castor at Utrecht University visited our group and gave a seminar talk on program understanding research. He also had a lot of discussions with our members.
Back to School
After two and half years of online activities, we start having our seminars physically again. It is fun to re-discover many lost technologies in these years (like “don’t look at the screen, face to the audience!”), and to take a photo!
