N2 - Independent Set Reconfiguration is one of the most well-studied problems in the setting of combinatorial reconfiguration. It is known that the problem is PSPACE-complete even for graphs of bounded bandwidth. This fact rules out the tractability of parameterizations by most well-studied structural parameters as most of them generalize bandwidth. In this paper, we study the parameterization by modular-width, which is not comparable with bandwidth. We show that the problem parameterized by modular-width is fixed-parameter tractable under all previously studied rules $$\mathsf {TAR}$$, $$\mathsf {TJ}$$, and $$\mathsf {TS}$$. The result under $$\mathsf {TAR}$$ resolves an open problem posed by Bonsma [WG 2014, JGT 2016].
