Analyzing and modifying source code at the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) level is fundamental to numerous software engineering tasks, including program analysis, instrumentation, and transformation. While Java-specific tools exist, they often operate at the bytecode level or are tightly coupled to the Java ecosystem, limiting their flexibility and accessibility. In this paper, we present jAST, a Python-based tool that generates and manipulates ASTs for Java programs. By leveraging Python’s simplicity and extensive ecosystem, jAST enables precise source-level analysis, seamless integration with Python workflows, and support for advanced tasks such as feature extraction for debugging and learning-based failure analysis. jAST is an open-source tool offering researchers, educators, and practitioners an extensible framework for working with Java ASTs.

This room is located outside Clarion Hotel
This room is located in the Pirsenteret (The Pier Center) convention center. It is just outside the hotel, on the back, towards the fjord.
You should be able to go through the emergency exit at Clarion, just on the side of the Cosmos 3 wing, which will be bring you close to Pirsenteret.
The entrance to the center is from here:
