Bio

Guanping Xiao is an Associate Professor in the College of Computer Science and Technology at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA). His research focuses on intelligent software reliability, empirical software engineering, and program analysis, aiming to improve the reliability and maintainability of evolving software systems. His current work addresses compatibility issues in Python and AI software ecosystems, with an emphasis on third-party API changes, dependency upgrades, and API call provenance, as well as methods for compatibility risk analysis, automated detection, repair, and validation.

He leads the development of PCART-tools, an open-source program analysis toolchain for verifiable compatibility maintenance of Python and AI software under library evolution. Developed in collaboration with students and colleagues, the toolchain provides tools for API compatibility detection and repair, compatible requirements inference, and API ownership and provenance analysis, along with supporting benchmarks.
