Biography:
Dr. Liudong Xing received her B.E. degree in Computer Science from Zhengzhou University, China, M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Virginia (UVa). She is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth. She is also an adjunct professor of the Collaborative Autonomic Computing (CAC) laboratory at the School of Computer Science & Engineering, University of Electronics Science and Technology of China. Her current research focuses on combinatorial reliability analysis of complex systems and networks. Her research has been partly supported by the US National Science Foundation (NSF). Dr. Xing served as a program co-chair for the IEEE DASC 2006 & UC-Sec 2009, a program vice chair for ICESS 2007 & ICPADS 2008 & DASC 2009, and an associate Guest Editor for the Journal of Computer Science on a special issue of “Reliability and Autonomic Management” in 2006. She is the Editor for the Short Communications in the International Journal of Performability Engineering. She also serves on the program committees of many international workshops and conferences. Dr. Xing is the recipient of the "Scholar of the Year" award of UMass Dartmouth in 2010 and the IEEE Region 1 Technological Innovation (Academic) Award in 2007. She is also the co-recipient of the Best Paper Award at the IEEE International Conference on Networking, Architecture, and Storage in 2009. She is a senior member of IEEE and a member of Eta Kappa Nu.Areas Of Interest:
