Johan and Simon’s research is a significant step towards the development of an ergonomic and mobile code editor empowered by the Language Server Protocol (LSP) for multi-language support. While code editing is traditionally computer-based, the current technological landscape is witnessing a significant shift toward mobile technologies.

Master’s thesis submission season is upon us, and, in the SNAIL Team, Matthys is opening it in style with a fascinating topic. Matthys’s research investigates how mixed reality can be leveraged to improve developer experience.

How do you get 4th graders (16yo.) to understand software engineering in 1h30? That’s the challenge we (Jérôme Maquoi, Benoît Vanderose and Xavier Devroey) set ourselves on Thursday April 25, 2024.

The week of April 15, we were in Lisbon for the 46th edition of the International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2024 🇵🇹). Since 1975, ICSE has provided a forum where researchers, developers and educators come together to present and discuss the latest innovations, trends, experiences and problems in the field of software engineering.

On March 25 and 26, 2024, together with the researchers involved in the CyberExcellence project, the flagship research project of the IIS CyberWal by DigitalWallonia, we visited the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) at the University of Luxembourg.

On Thursday, February 8, 2024, I, together with Gilles Perrouin and Maxime Cordy, received the Ten-years Most Influential Paper award at the 18th International Working Conference on Variability Modelling of Software-Intensive Systems (VAMOS ‘24) in Bern, Switzerland.

On Wednesday November 29, 2023, we were invited to the 5th edition of the Dataweek, organized by Hénallux, to talk about artificial intelligence and software development. After a general introduction to Large Language Models (LLMs) and their use with ChatGPT or GitHub Copilot, we examined their concrete impact on developers' daily lives.

Last November 2023, I took part in the Shonan seminar on the use of DevOps approaches for cyber-physical systems. It was an intense but interesting week, with 30 researchers from Japan, America and Europe, experts in software engineering, DevOps approaches and cyber-physical systems.

On July 4, the faculty’s teaching staff participated in a half-day training session on gender questions and representations in Computer Science courses. This training is part of the results of the research project Gender Equals Future: 011 for IT, in which Interface3.

Why managing system quality and reliability isn’t trivial. Have you ever wondered how software systems are born and how they die? There’s the famous source code and the (sometimes unpopular) algorithms, but how is it all put together? This practice is known as software engineering.
