Congratulations to Vesna Nowack and the rest of the team for getting the paper "Expanding Fix Patterns to Enable Automatic Program Repair" accepted to @ISSREConf @LancsUniSE @BSELBrunel @OR_GroupQMUL @csmstir #apr #automaticProgramRepair #research #paperAcceptance

We are looking for #softwaredevelopers to help us find out how developers interact with an APR tool and what would increase confidence in such a tool. Please RT @LancsUniSE @BSELBrunel @OR_Group @csmstir #softwaredeveloper #research #automatic #program #repair #apr

We are investigating current bug repair practices for automatic software repair to gain insights on building tools that could help developers. Could we get your thoughts and opinions on the topic through a 15min survey? Details here: lancasteruni.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cx…

Our poster presentation is available at @GeccoConf and @SaemundO will be available tomorrow for your questions.

John Woodward is giving two online tutorials @GeccoConf this week. The schedule is in Cancún's time zone (UTC/GMT-5 hours).

Dr Emily Winter is presenting today our position paper “Human Factors in the Study of Automatic Software Repair” at The 8th International Workshop on Genetic Improvement (GI@ICSE 2020): geneticimprovementofsoftware.com/gi2020icse.html

Wohoo!!! Tutorial @ASEconf2020 accepted "Genetic improvement: Taking real-world source code and improving it using genetic programming" with @SaemundO @JohnRobWoodward

John Woodward talking about how to win EPSRC grants.

Today we had a seminar on Scheduling of Manufacturing System with Petri Nets given by Dr Hyunjung Kim, Assistant Professor at Industrial & System Engineering, KAIST, South Korea

Two talks today at the Institute of Applied Data Science (@DataScienceQMUL): 1) optimisation techniques for production scheduling and logistics (Simon Martin from Schnellecke) and 2) optimisation techniques and ML for bin packing (John Woodward, Head of our OR group).

We are happy to welcome Dr Emily Winter to our team. All together we attended the CREST Open Workshop (@CRESTCOW) in London and had a great opportunity to talk about APR and many more topics with other researchers.
