Research Highlights (previous highlights)

Recent and ongoing work with successful technology transfer in collaboration with Microsoft Research Asia is being produced. See our ICSE 2012 paper on StackMine and MALETS 2011 position paper and presentation slides.
The contributed Fitnex technique [DSN 2009] went into Pex releases (produced by Microsoft Research) since Sept. 2008; substantial collaborative work upon Pex has been published widely in top software engineering venues.

Pex has had high download counts in industry and academia, e.g., more than 30,000 during a 20-month period of Feb. 2008-Oct. 2009.

The contributed concept of Coding Duel games went into Pex for Fun releases (produced by Microsoft Research) since Summer 2010.

Since its release in Summer 2010 till Oct. 2011, for only about one year, Pex for Fun has already had near 660,000 game-play interactions made by players around the world.

The jointly-developed NCSU/NIST ACPT (Access Control Policy Tool) is available as a beta release. It has been beta-tested in several dozens of organizations.
