System configuration management is difficult because systems evolve in an undisciplined way: packages are upgraded, configuration files are edited, and so on. The management of ex...
Performing experimental evaluation of fault tolerant distributed systems is a complex and tedious task, and automating as much as possible of the execution and evaluation of exper...
We examine issues in the design of fully dynamic information retrieval systems with support for instantaneous document insertions and deletions. We present one such system and dis...
Most model-based diagnosis systems, such as GDE and Sherlock, have concerned discrete, static systems such as logic circuits and use simple constraint propagation to detect incons...
A regional transportation system and the movement of large traffic volumes through it, are characteristic of stochastic systems. The standard traffic management or transportation ...
