PhD topic

Timing Behavior Anomaly Detection for Automatic Fault Localization (Abstract)

News

• I will present our paper "Trace-context sensitive performance profiling for enterprise software applications" at SPEC International Performance Evaluation Workshop 2008 (SIPEW), Darmstadt, Germany 27-28.06.2008

Research interests

• Software timing behavior evaluation, performance and control flow monitoring, automatic failure diagnosis, anomaly detection
• Software dependability (especially availability, performance, and reliability), performability
• Dynamic software architectures, autonomic computing (self-healing / self-management / autonomic computing / self-adaptation, ...)
• fault tolerance, (design faults, diversity, n-version-programming)
• component-based software engineering, service-oriented architectures, architectural styles
• enterprise information systems, web applications, middleware-intensive software systems
• ADLs, software agents, neural networks, evolutionary computation, IT law
