Large-scale cloud services deploy hundreds of configuration changes to production systems
daily. At such velocity, configuration changes have inevitably become prevalent causes of …

A large percentage of real-world software configuration issues, such as misconfigurations,
involve multiple interdependent configuration parameters. However, existing techniques and …

Misconfigurations are major causes of software failures. Existing practices rely on developer-
written rules or test cases to validate configurations, which are expensive. Machine learning …

Configuration changes are among the dominant causes of failures of large-scale software
system deployment. Given the velocity of configuration changes, typically at the scale of …

The behavior of large systems is guided by their configurations: users set parameters in the
configuration file to dictate which corresponding part of the system code is executed …

Many techniques were proposed for detecting software misconfigurations in cloud systems
and for diagnosing unintended behavior caused by such misconfigurations. Detection and …

A large-scale system contains a huge configuration space because of its large number of
configuration parameters. This leads to a combination explosion among configuration …

Software configurations play a crucial role in determining the behavior of software systems.
In order to ensure safe and error-free operation, it is necessary to identify the correct …

Although dedicated efforts have been devoted to ensuring the service quality of online
service systems, these systems are still suffering from incidents due to various causes, which …

As software systems become more complex and configurable, more performance problems
tend to arise from the configuration designs. This has caused some configuration options to …
