    The 23rd Belgium-Netherlands Software Evolution Workshop (BENEVOL 2024) was held in Namur, Netherlands, on November 21–22, 2024.BENEVOL 2024 offered various contribution formats: Technical papers (TECH), which present novel and validated research results; New Ideas and Controversial Perspectives (NICE), which are position papers presenting new and potentially controversial software maintenance and evolution perspectives; Presentation Abstracts (ABS) are summaries of research published elsewhere, and presented as posters during the workshop; Finally, Replicated or Invalidated Papers (RIP), concerned the replication efforts of existing studies.BENEVOL 2024 received 35 submissions, which is the second highest for the workshop, in particular: 15 TECH papers, 6 NICE papers and 14 presentation abstracts/posters. We accepted 14 TECH papers, 3 NICE papers, and 17 presentations abstracts (including 3 NICE papers accepted as ABS ones). Unfortunately, 3 ABS papers could not be presented during event, resulting in 31 contributions discussed during the workshop. These proceedings include only the 17 TECH and NICE papers.The accepted submissions represent a wide range of topics related to software evolution, including; software ecosystems, programming languages, static and dynamic analysis, software repositories, the growing use of artificial intelligence for testing and code comprehension, and insights from practice.BENEVOL 2024 also featured two amazing keynotes. Sonia Haiduc (Florida State University, USA) gave her keynote on “Studying and Supporting Developers' Online Information Seeking,” exploring the sources of information that developers privilege. Andy Zaidman (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands) presented “Show Your True Testing Color,” investigating the impact of continuous development and testing practices on sustainability.With so many contributions and more than 80 participants, we believe BENEVOL 2024 was a successful edition! A special thanks to the authors for submitting and presenting their work, the keynote speakers for sharing their knowledge and experiences during the workshop, the program committee members for their availability and care in reviewing a large number of submissions, and the sponsors for providing resources that made the workshop possible and enjoyable

    Professor Benoit is the Principal Investigator in an ERC funded project QUANTESS developing innovative methods for the quantitative analysis of textual data in the social sciences. He is the co-author with Paul Nulty of the R software package for text analysis “quanteda”, and working on a book Quantitative Text Analysis Using R covering methods for managing, processing, and analysing textual data using the R programming language. He has taught quantitative text analysis extensively and has published research in this area targeting both methodology and political science applications

    Analysis of Students' Preconceptions of Concurrency

    No full text
    In previous literature, several authors have recommended teaching concurrent programming, as the current evolution of IT involves concurrency. However, in order to teach concurrent programming properly, in a constructivist educational learning framework, we need to know the preconceptions students have regarding it. In this paper, we report on the results found from data collected through a questionnaire submitted in secondary schools to 101 students aged from 12 to 15. We detail the preconceptions of concurrent programming we extracted from the questionnaire answers and formulate recommendations toward creating a course teaching concurrent programming.</p

    Fables de La Fontaine: Une Anthologie proposée par Benoit Marchon

    No full text
    Here are forty-three fables presented by an artist I have enjoyed twice elsewhere. The book's unusual shape (6½ x 10¾) is the first clue that it is going to present traditional material in a fresh way. Almost every presentation involves two pages and clever positioning of a few key images. GA (10-11) presents an ant with a sack of grain on his back marching across the page above a grasshopper moving upwards with a guitar on his back: character, load, and direction are all different. FC presents a cheese with its owner's name struck through and changed from Corbeau to Renard (12-13). WS shows a stork with a scissors for a head beside an x-ray of a wolf's digestive tract with the bone lodged down the throat (22-23). The spilt milk of MM is blotting out drawings of hens, pig, and cow (30-31). The surreal style fits the approach perfectly. Sometimes I have no idea why an object is presented the way Jarrie presents it; other times it is perfect. The bull in OF holds the frog by a tether as though the latter were a helium-filled balloon (32-33). Maybe best of all is The Rat and the Elephant (50-51). The elephant is segmented to make room for the text. Between the elephant's legs, mostly hidden from us, a cat reaches out a paw for the minuscule rat under the elephant's big belly. For sheer fun, try The Lion Defeated by a Man (78-79). The book has a place-holding ribbon, a short life of both La Fontaine and of Jarrie, and a helpful glossary of unusual language in the fables. This book fulfills its rear cover's promise of a fresh entry into a fabulous zoological park. Bravo, Jarrie!This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: FrenchJean de La Fontaine; Benoit Marcho

Dans un contexte français de résurgence de l’engagement littéraire, elle exprime des manières d’intervenir par l’écriture sur des problèmes sociaux ou politiques qui traversent la société. L’originalité de notre thèse tient à l’intérêt d’avoir privilégié le contexte d’écriture de ces auteures. En effet, la critique des littératures africaines francophones lie l’émergence de nouvelles formes d’écriture, à partir de années quatre-vingt, à la présence des auteurs de cette littérature dans un espace qui n’est plus africain mais essentiellement parisien. Le choix de l’implication nous permet d’inscrire les écrivaines choisies pour notre analyse dans un lieu témoin de pratiques d’écritures nouvelles qui montrent des préoccupations qui ne sont plus uniquement d’ordre esthétique.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-05-01The student, Malyoune Benoit, accepted the attached license on 2018-04-18 at 07:03.The student, Malyoune Benoit, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-04-18 at 07:11.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-04-18 at 17:39.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12334 on 2018-08-31 at 17:20:24U of I Only Restriction Lifted for Item 107270 on 2020-09-05T09:15:26Z
