Two of our SD Lab students gave their presentation at 2021 Software Engineering Symposium workshop. Purit Phanudom introduced his research titled “Interactive Chatbot for Supporting Students in Online Python Programming Class” that proposes the utilization of chatbot technology to effectly support learners taking online Python programming classes. Akihito Ihara also delivered his presentation on the “Prospect of Class Diagram Relationship Prediction Using Natural Language Processing Technique” that pictures the current approaches for quantitative measurement of class diagram’s understandability and future challenges.

Keichi Takahashi, an assistant professor at SDLab, gave an invited talk at the University of Melbourne Quantitative Methods Network (QMNET). His talk presented the latest research on accelerating Empirical Dynamic Modeling, an international collaboration project with institutes including the Salk institute and National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology.

Keichi Takahashi, an assistant professor at SDLab, presented the following paper at the Practice & Experience in Advanced Research Computing (PEARC) conference: Keichi Takahashi, Wassapon Watanakeesuntorn, Kohei Ichikawa, Joseph Park, Ryousei Takano, Jason Haga, George Sugihara, Gerald M. Pao, “kEDM: A Performance-portable Implementation of Empirical Dynamic Modeling using Kokkos”, Practice & Experience in Advanced Research Computing (PEARC 2021), Jul. 2021. In this work, we developed and evaluated a performance-portable implementation of Empirical Dynamic Modeling (EDM) named kEDM using the Kokkos programming framework.
