Layer Activation Interface at COP’20
A paper entitled “Activation Interfaces for Modular Reasoning in Context-Oriented Programming” authored by Paul Leger, Hidehiko Masuhara and Ismael Figueroa was presented at the 12th International Workshop on Context-Oriented Programming and Advanced Modularity (COP 2020). This is a proposal to provide a stable interface into the layer activation mechanism.
Five New Members
We welcome the five new members to the group in this spring.
- Kohei Arai (Master’s course)
- Ryoichi Omae (Master’s course)
- Kazuki Ikemori (Undergraduate)
- Naoya Furudono (Undergraduate)
- Shusuke Takahashi (Undergraduate)
As we need to stay home due to COVID-19, we are closely communicating each other online, maybe more than ever.
Graduation March 2020

Cherry Blossoms on the Day of the Graduation Ceremony
We celebrated graduation of our members. We had to celebrate them virtually as the university’s ceremony was shrunk down to only a few representatives for avoiding the risks of COVID-19 infection.
Yusuke Izawa,Yudai Tanabe and Aochi Shu received the Master’s degrees. Yusuke and Yudai will pursuit the PhD degree in our group. Aochi will start working for one of the largest e-commerce companies in Japan. Junya Nose received his Bachelor’s degree, and will pursuit the Master’s degree in our group.
We wish for their bright future, and hope we can see each other soon!
