I am a PhD stduent of Department of Computer Science in Kings College London.
My supervisor is Prof. Mark Harman who leads the CREST group. CREST research interests include
Evolutional Testing, Program Slicing, Search Based Software Engineering (SBSE), Source Code Analysis, etc.
My PhD topic is search based dependence analysis, that is, applying the framework of SBSE and the technique of Program Slicing
to analysing the interesting dependence structures in the program, which can contribute to the area in software engineering problems,
such as Program Comprehesion, maintenance, measurement and program refactoring.
Current project:
I've just implemented the potential research topic about search based slicing and empirical results show that
the hypothesis that dependence structure analysis of combining the SBSE and Program Slicing can be formulated and that consistent
results can be achieved. The abstract can be found at locating thedependence structures using search based slicing,
and related source codes and slicing data can be found below below .
Moreover, I am focusing on some new idea about formulation of interesting dependence analysis search based metrics.ppt .
The source codes and slicing data used in paper 'Locating dependence structures using search based slicing':
sum.c ,hello.c ,informationflow.c ,acct.c ,newton.c,tss.c
sum-slicing.txt, hello-slicing.txt, informationflow-slicing.txt, acct-slicing.rar, newton-slicing.txt, tss-slicing.txt
