Major software failures are reported to be due to misconfiguration. As manual configuration is too error-prone to be deemed a reliable strategy for dynamic and complex systems, automated configuration management has become a standard.…

Many techniques were proposed for detecting software misconfigurations in cloud systems and for diagnosing unintended behavior caused by such misconfigurations. Detection and diagnosis are steps in the right direction: misconfigurations…

Misconfigurations have become the dominant causes of software failures in recent years, drawing tremendous attention for their increasing prevalence and severity. Configuration constraints can preemptively avoid misconfiguration by defining…

Modern configurable systems offer customization via intricate configuration spaces, yet such flexibility introduces pervasive configuration-related issues such as misconfigurations and latent softwarebugs. Existing diagnosability supports…

File systems play an essential role in modern society for managing precious data. To meet diverse needs, they often support many configuration parameters. Such flexibility comes at the price of additional complexity which can lead to subtle…

Faced with the challenges of big data, modern cloud database management systems are designed to efficiently store, organize, and retrieve data, supporting optimal performance, scalability, and reliability for complex data processing and…

Owing to their cost-effectiveness and flexibility, cloud services have been the default choice for the deployment of innumerable software systems over the years. However, novel paradigms are beginning to emerge, as the cloud can't meet the…

Finding the optimal set of cloud resources to deploy a given workload at minimal cost while meeting a defined service level agreement is an active area of research. Combining tens of parameters applicable across a large selection of…

XML configuration files are widely used in Android to define an app's user interface and essential runtime information such as system permissions. As Android evolves, it might introduce functional changes in the configuration environment,…

Kubernetes is a tool that facilitates rapid deployment of software. Unfortunately, configuring Kubernetes is prone to errors. Configuration defects are not uncommon and can result in serious consequences. This paper reports an empirical…

Root cause analysis in modern cloud infrastructure demands sophisticated understanding of heterogeneous data sources, particularly time-series performance metrics that involve core failure signatures. While large language models demonstrate…

Access control policies are vital for securing modern cloud computing, where organizations must manage access to sensitive data across thousands of users in distributed system settings. Cloud administrators typically write and update…

Software misconfiguration has consistently been a major reason for software failures. Over the past two decades, much work has been done to detect and diagnose software misconfigurations. However, there is still a gap between real-world…

Effective machine-aided diagnosis and repair of configuration errors continues to elude computer systems designers. Most of the literature targets errors that can be attributed to a single erroneous configuration setting. However, a recent…

Many tools and libraries are readily available to build and operate distributed Web applications. While the setup of operational environments is comparatively easy, practice shows that their continuous secure operation is more difficult to…

At the rapid pace of technological evolution, the emerging cloud computing technology has promoted the digitalization and business innovation of the enterprise in all industries due to its advantages of data storage and service mode.…

Performance is an important non-functional aspect of the software requirement. Modern software systems are highly-configurable and misconfigurations may easily cause performance issues. A software system that suffers performance issues may…

Trends such as cloud computing raise issues regarding stable and uniform quality assurance and validation of software requirements. Current QA frameworks are poorly defined, often not automated, and lack the flexibility needed for…

Within the printing industry, much of the variety in printed applications comes from the variety in finishing. Finishing comprises the processing of sheets of paper after being printed, e.g. to form books. The configuration space of…

Runtime failure and performance degradation is commonplace in modern cloud systems. For cloud providers, automatically determining the root cause of incidents is paramount to ensuring high reliability and availability as prompt fault…
