Dear Tao,
I am a student that is pursuing a Ph.D. degree in computer science. I am in the area of software testing and verification. In the past few years, I read hundreds of papers from ICSE, PLDI, POPL, FSE, CAV, etc. One question on the usefulness of research always confused me. I felt that most of papers are not practically at all -- the techniques that are proposed in the papers are either rather limited such that they cannot be applied into practice, or being good in theory but will not be success as a product in industry due to other factors such as the cost-effective. What do you think about this?
Many thanks!
Best regards,
Andrew
