Short Bio [Publications][Google Scholar][DBLP]
Xusheng Xiao is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer and Data Sciences at Case Western Reserve University. His general research interests span between software engineering and computer security, with the focus on making software and computer systems more Reliable, Intelligent, Secure, and Efficient (RISE). Specifically, his lab is working on the research in mobile app security, system/enterprise security, blockchain security, automated software testing, program analysis, and bug detection. He is a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award for 2021. His collaboration work with industries (NEC and Microsoft) has been granted 6 US patents. His research is supported by NSF, DoE, and Samsung.
Xusheng received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from North Carolina State University, advised by Prof. Tao Xie and Prof. Laurie Williams. He was a visiting student at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for 2013-2014. More details about his research can be found here.
Research Projects
RISE lab develops effective and scalable techniques that extract mobile app behaviors from different perspectives by analyzing multiple types of artifacts, including app code, app descriptions, API documents, app meta-data, and graphical user interfaces (GUI). Our work in mobile security was selected as one of the top ten finalists for CSAW Best Applied Security Paper Award 2015, and produced a static analysis tool that was deployed in TouchDevelop of Microsoft Research. Check out our open sourced tools for AppContext, WHYPER. See our papers at ASE'12, USENIX Security'13, ICSE'15, ASEJ'15, USENIX Security'15, ICSE’19, CCS'19, ICSE'21. The recent work DeepIntent (CCS'19) that detects intention-behavior discrepancies using the synergy of program analysis and deep learning releases the code and the complete dataset (including example dataset) at Github.
RISE lab developes system security techniques that automatically identify the causes and impacts of attacks and query systems that enable attack investigation using system audit data. Our work in attack investigation was selected as one of the top ten finalists for CSAW Best Applied Security Paper Award 2018. The security intelligence solution built by our team won first place in the Town Life and Society Innovation Category at CEATEC Award. Check out our project websites at AIQL, SAQL. See our papers at VLDB'16, CCS'16, USENIX ATC'18, USENIX Security'18, CCS' 18, ICDE'20, ICDE'21.
RISE lab develops Hyper Service, the first interoperability blockchain platform with programmability and strong security guarantees. It is open sourced at Github. See the paper at CCS' 19.
RISE lab develops static program analysis techniques and dynamic symbolic execution techniques to improve software testing (ICSE'2011, ASE'13, ICSE'16 Edu, DSN'18, HotMobile' 19), bug detection (ISSTA'14, FSE Demo'17), and software performance (ISSTA'13, RTAS'19). Our lab also develops text analysis techniques to improve access control policy extraction (FSE'12, ACSAC'14) and precondition extraction from API documents (ICSE'12). Our work in software testing received ICSE SRC Best Project Representing an Innovative Use of Microsoft Technology at ACM SRC Grand Final 2012. Check out the open sourced tools for Covana, APIInfer.
