ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award at ICSE 2021

Dr Daniel Luo, Associate Professor of Department of Computing, together with his research student, Zhan Xian, and other researchers recently received the ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award at the 43^rd ACM/IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2021) with the paper titled "ATVHunter: Reliable Version Detection of Third-Party Libraries for Vulnerability Identification in Android Applications".

The research team proposed and developed a novel system named "ATVHunter", which could pinpoint the precise vulnerable in-app TPL versions and provide detailed information about the vulnerabilities and TPLs. Experimental results showed "ATVHunter" outperformed state-of-the-art TPL detection tools with high accuracy and efficiency.
