Despite decades of research in extensible operating system technology, extensions such as device drivers remain a significant cause of system failures. In Windows XP, for example,...
Abstract—Statistical fault localization techniques find suspicious faulty program entities in programs by comparing passed and failed executions. Existing studies show that such ...
We have proposed an automated debugging technique that explains a failure by computing its causal path leading from the root cause to the failure. Given a failing execution, the te...
The probability of failures in software distributed shared memory (SDSM) increases as the system size grows. This paper introduces a new, efficient message logging technique, call...
The body of literature on SMEs suggest that all SMEs seem to go through different life cycles, and while the terms used by different authors may vary, the events that govern them ...
