Bio
My name is Chang Xu. Before I joined Nanjing University in Sep 2010, I had spent 15 years on studying and working on computer software and theory. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in computer science and engineering from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in 2008, M.Eng. degree in computer software and theory from Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ISCAS) in 2003, and B.Eng. degree in computer science and technology from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2000.
I am currently an associate professor with the State Key Laboratory for Novel Software Technology and the Department of Computer Science and Technology of Nanjing University. You may contact me via email changxu A/T nju D/O/T edu D/O/T cn, or find me at Room 807, Building of Computer Science and Technology directly.
I have received the following awards or certificates (reversely chronological order):
Research Interests
My research interests lie in context management for pervasive computing, software testing and analysis, Internet of Things and RFID, and software engineering. Recently, I am focusing on methodologies of partial constraint checking for context consistency, and automated resolution or repair strategies for inconsistent contexts and adaptive software. You are welcome to talk to me if you have common interests. Here is a list of my recent publications, or you may want to try the DBLP search (results always mixed with others of similar names).
Academic search engines and resources: IEEE Xplore, ACM Portal.
Academic Services
I served as the secretary to program chairs of 2007 IEEE International Conference on e-Business Engineering (ICEBE 2007).
I am reviewing or reviewed the following journals (alphabetic order):
I am serving or served these program committees (reversely chronological order):
Teaching Duties
Hobbies and Free Ideas
I love playing computer games, watching movies, hiking, thinking, and daydreaming (O_O).
I am interested in game design and development. In early years, I worked with some friends on two RPG games, NewPal and FreeRPG. We focused on the design and implementation of game engines and supporting tools at that time, but we only developed partial game scenarios based on them. Today, we consider them as valuable memories. In fact, developing a complete game is very different from just develping a game engine with demo stories. You may want to take a look at SDLPAL as a good example of complete games. Game development also requires great passion. One positive example is the Notch (刻痕) game series. Its first version is made by a non-cs student, who is also the main designer and programmer of later versions. One amazing thing is that all pictures, music, and stories are completely new (i.e., not copied from other games), and all members of the development team are students. SDLPAL and Notch are free games. You can easily find them on the Internet.
You may have experienced worries. Sometimes we care about how others think of us. Although we can learn from others' successful stories, we have to make our own decisions. Usually, following the way you have choosed by yourself, you will not feel regretful. When you feel worries, you may want to take a look at these words.
