Today's software failures have two dominating root causes: code bugs and
misconfigurations. To combat failure-inducing software changes, unified regression testing …

Modern software systems are usually highly configurable, providing users with customized
functionality through various configuration options. Understanding how system performance …

This paper claims that a new field of empirical software engineering research and practice is
emerging: data mining using/used-by optimizers for empirical studies, or DUO. For example …

Linux kernels are used in a wide variety of appliances, many of them having strong
requirements on the kernel size due to constraints such as limited memory or instant boot …

The success of machine learning (ML) models depends on careful experimentation and
optimization of their hyperparameters. Tuning can affect the reliability and accuracy of a …

Configurable software makes up most of the software in use today. Configurability, ie, the
ability of software to be customized without additional programming, is pervasive, and due to …

Reducing energy consumption of IT systems is fundamentally important for saving cost and
reducing CO2 emissions. We explain the limits of pure artificial intelligence/machine …

Software failures resulting from configuration errors have become commonplace as modern
software systems grow increasingly large and more complex. The lack of language …

Many software systems offer configuration options to tailor their functionality and non-
functional properties (eg, performance). Often, users are interested in the (performance-) …

Context The emerging service mesh architecture tries to simplify microservices by
delegating crucial tasks to dedicated infrastructure. However, service mesh introduces new …
