In recent years, configuration errors (ie, misconfigurations) have become one of the
dominant causes of system failures, resulting in many severe service outages and …

Modern software applications are adapted to different situations (eg, memory limits,
enabling/disabling features, database credentials) by changing the values of configuration …

The idea for this book arose from a series of lectures on modern programming paradigms,
feature-oriented programming, and software product lines that are continuously held at the …

Configuration problems are not only prevalent, but also severely impair the reliability of
today's system software. One fundamental reason is the ever-increasing complexity of …

Configuration errors (ie, misconfigurations) are among the dominant causes of system
failures. Their importance has inspired many research efforts on detecting, diagnosing, and …

Customizable programs and program families provide user-selectable features to allow
users to tailor a program to an application scenario. Knowing in advance which feature …

Early detection is the key to minimizing failure damage induced by configuration errors,
especially those errors in configurations that control failure handling and fault tolerance …

Similar to software bugs, configuration errors are also one of the major causes of today's
system failures. Many configuration issues manifest themselves in ways similar to software …

As software systems become more complex and configurable, failures due to
misconfigurations are becoming a critical problem. Such failures often have serious …

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