Android fragmentation refers to the fact that there are nowadays a massive number of different Android devices, which are manufactured by different companies and run different Android OS versions, operationalized in the digital world. The minor difference between these devices may lead to compatibility issues that eventually result in different app behaviors and, subsequently, poor user experiences. It has hence been a hot topic in mobile software engineering to tame Android fragmentation. In this talk, I will introduce some of our attempts to address such fragmentation issues.

Dr. Li Li is a Senior lecturer (a.k.a., Associate Professor) and a PhD supervisor at Monash University, Australia. He received his PhD degree in computer science from the University of Luxembourg in 2016. He has published over 60 research papers at prestigious conferences such as ICSE, ESEC/FSE, ASE, ISSTA, POPL, PLDI, etc. and prestigious journals such as ACM TOSEM and IEEE TSE, TIFS, TDSC, etc.

Li’s research has received various awards, including the prestigious ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA in short), an ACM Distinguished Paper Award at PLDI 2021, a Best Student Paper Award at WWW 2020, an ACM Distinguished Paper Award at ASE 2018, a FOSS Impact Paper Award at MSR 2018, and a Best Paper Award at the ERA track of IEEE SANER 2016.

Li was named as one of the Top-5 most impactful earlier career software engineering researchers in the world.

Li is an active member of the software engineering and security community serving as a reviewer for many top-tier conferences and journals such as ASE, ICSME, SANER, TSE, TOSEM, TIFS, TDSC, TOPS, EMSE, JSS, IST, etc.
