Qichang Chen receives a Student Travel Grant
Qichang Chen, a Ph.D. student advised by Professor Liqiang
Wang , received a Student Travel Grant (up to $1,200) to present two papers HEAT: An Integrated
Static and Dynamic Approach for Thread Escape Analysis and An Integrated
Framework for Checking Concurrency-related Programming Errors (Doctoral
Symposium) at COMPSAC
2009: 33rd Annual IEEE International Computer Software and Applications
Conference (Seattle, Washington, July 20-24, 2009). The travel grant was supported
by NSF through COMPSAC. Qichang Chen and Professor Wang had another paper, HAVE: Integrated
Dynamic and Static Analysis for Atomicity Violations , published on FASE 2009 of ETAPS (York, UK, March 22-29, 2009).
All three papers are about the integration of static and dynamic analyses
to detect concurrency-related errors, such as atomicity violations, in more
accurate and efficient ways. Qichang's research focuses on analyzing parallel systems
for potential programming errors.
