English versionIn the context of an international Chaire Francqui 2024-2025, the Faculty of Computer Science (UNamur) has the honor to receive Professor Arie Van Deursen (TU Delft, Netherlands ) from the 24th to the 27st of March, for a series of lectures on the theme of: “ Explainable Software Engineering ”.The inaugural lecture, entitled “Explainable Software Engineering in the Public Sector”, will be held on the 25th of March 2025, at 6pm at PA02 (Sentier Thomas, 5000 – Namur).Version française Dans le cadre d’une Chaire Francqui internationale 2024-2025, la faculté d’informatique (UNamur) aura le plaisir de recevoir le Professeur Arie Van Deursen (TU Delft, Pays-bas) du 24 au 27 mars 2025, pour une série de leçons sur le thème: "Explainable Software Engineering".   La leçon inaugurale, intitulée "Explainable Software Engineering in the Public Sector ", se tiendra le mardi 25 mars 2025 à 18h00 au PA02 (Sentier Thomas, 5000 – Namur). Explainable Software Engineering in the Public Sector The field of software engineering seeks to devise theories, methods, tools, and techniques that support the development, operation, and evolution of the digital infrastructure modern society relies on. While the software engineering capabilities have advanced substantially over the past decades, it remains challenging to deliver high quality systems in a timely and cost-effective manner. Government system in particular have a weak reputation in this respect.To better understand why, we analyze 125 complex software projects in the public sector in The Netherlands. The projects are described in public reports published by the Advisory Council on IT Assessments (AcICT), which advises the Dutch parliament and cabinet on riks and chances of success in complex Information Technology (IT) projects. The projects span a time period of 10 years, represent a total budget of over 14 billion Euros, and cover such areas as tax collection, social security, pensions, health, traffic control, defense, or water management.We study these reports through the lens of "explainability", focusing on supporting decision making. Furthermore, we reflect on current advances in software engineering, including modern software testing and large language models, in addressing current software engineering challenges.

Le programme de la soirée : 16h45 – 17h00 : Accueil à La Bourse - Place d'Armes 1 à Namur17h00 – 18h30 : Conférence sur le thème : « Vers une informatique toujours plus humaine et responsable »Mot d’accueil : Wim Vanhoof – Doyen de la faculté d’informatiqueManel BarkallahJules DejaeghereXavier DevroyeJérôme FinkRobin GhyselinckJérôme MaquoiAnthony SimonofskiBenoît Vanderose18h30 – 18h45 : Pause18h45 – 19h45 : Mot de la Rectrice et carte blanche du Professeur Naji HabraCet événement, qui allie réflexion et convivialité, sera une occasion unique d’échanger autour de l'impact de l'informatique sur la société, dans une ambiance propice à la discussion et à la célébration.

The workshop provides a forum for the discussion of new research directions and applications in Artificial Life, Evolutionary Computation and in related fields, where different disciplines and research areas could effectively meet. It was first held in 2007 in Sampieri (Ragusa), as the incorporation of two separate workshops (WIVA and GSICE).
