I am a Lecturer of the Institute of Computer Software, Northeastern University, China. I obtained my Ph.D., Master's and Bachalor's Degress from Northeastern University, in 2010, 2005 and 2002 respectively.

I visited the IT department of Uppsala University Sweden during Mar. 2010 to Apr. 2010, under Prof. Wang Yi's supervision. I visited the Real-Time Embedded Systems Group of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology during Feb. 2007 to Mar. 2008, under Prof. Zonghua Gu's supervision.

Research

My research area is real-time embedded systems, and my research interest are timing analysis of multicore real-time systems, modeling and verification of real-time embedded systems.

Projects & Experiences

  1. WCET Analysis Multicore Real-Time Software

    We present approach,which combines abstract interpretation and model checking, to solve the problem of WCET estimation of MULTICORE software with shared memory buses. The work was published in RTSS 2010 (see the paper below), and turns out to be a timing analyzer --- McAiT, which can be obtained via the link: http://www.neu-rtes.org/mcait

  2. Research on Real-Time Scheduling Issues and Operating System Technology of Reconfigurable Computing Systems (China National 863 Program), Northeastern university, 2008.03 – 2010.06

    The main purpose of this project is to design a platform of a general purpose computing system leveraging dynamic reconfigurable devices. My work is on scheduler design and SW/HW communication mechanisms. We are now extending the Linux scheduler to co-schedule both SW and HW tasks. Currently HW and SW tasks in our system communicate via a mechanism extended from Linux message queue.

  3. Buffer Optimization and Code Synthesis of SDF Models, HKUST, 2007
  4. In this research, we used model checking techniques to do buffer optimization of SDF models, and designed a code synthesis mechanism with the objective to minimize runtime overhead. Responsibilities involved designing a generator for SPIN and NuSMV models, and extending S-Graph to do efficient code synthesis.

  5. The Embedded Software Platform for the Large-Scale Machine Supervision Systems (Supported by National 863 Program of China), Northeastern University, 2003 - 2005

    This project aimed at providing a platform to facilitate the development of software in state-monitoring and error-detection devices in large scale electro-mechanical machines. My work mainly focused on real-time scheduling issues. We first extracted some requirements on the scheduling policies from our real system; then we selected Deadline Monotonic (DM) as the basic scheduling algorithm in this system, and extended traditional DM schedulability test by considering resource sharing via PCP and scheduling and context switch overheads. Experiments were done on the μC/OS-II real-time kernel.
