How this tree was built

This records the ASI Lab's own academic lineage at City University of Hong Kong. Advisor–advisee edges are confirmed from CityU Scholars supervision records and verified doctoral theses. Prof. Kitchenham’s own doctoral advisor is not established in our verified records, so that ancestor is intentionally left open.
