Report on the 5th Workshop on Human Centric Software Engineering & Cyber Security (HCSE&CS 2024)

Humans play multifaceted roles in the lifecycle of software systems, from creation and design to coding, testing, and usage. Traditionally, software engineering and cyber security research have prioritized technical aspects such as functions, data, and processes, while neglecting crucial human factors. Human-centric software engineering and cyber security prioritizes the human element, ensuring usability, accessibility, and trust are central to design and implementation. The InternationalWorkshop on Human Centric Software Engineering & Cyber Security (HCSE&CS) aims to create a forum to discuss enhanced theories, models, tools, and practices that support next-generation human-centric approaches in software engineering and cyber security. The fifth edition of the HCSE&CS Workshop was held on 28 October 2024, alongside the 39th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE 2024) in Sacramento, California, United States. It brought together experts to discuss not only traditional human-centric software engineering and cybersecurity challenges but also the evolving impact of large language models (LLMs) on software development and security. This report outlines the workshop's motivation and objectives and summarizes the presentations and discussions that took place during this event.
