Data aggregation is a fundamental building block of modern distributed systems. Averaging based approaches, commonly designated gossip-based, are an important class of aggregation ...
Abstract--Fault localization in enterprise networks is extremely challenging. A recent approach called Sherlock makes some headway into this problem by using an inference algorithm...
With the growing scale of current computing systems, traditional configuration tuning methods become less effective because they usually assume a small number of parameters in the...
