Systems Software

软件系统在我们生活的几乎方方面面都扮演着至关重要的角色，但故障不可避免地会发生。当故障发生时，诊断故障以恢复系统功能是当务之急。长时间的系统停机对IT服务提供商来说代价高昂，当系统提供关键服务(如汽车、医疗设备和发电站中的服务)时，可能会致命。这项研究将使用一种新的非侵入性方法来自动诊断和解决软件故障。这种方法比以前的方法更实用，通过最大限度地减少停机时间，它将对计算领域和社会产生重大影响。

Software systems play a vital role in almost every aspect of our lives, but failures inevitably occur. When failures happen, diagnosing them to recover systems function is a top priority. Prolonged system downtime is costly to IT service providers, and can be deadly when systems deliver critical services such as those in automobiles, medical devices, and power stations. This research will use a novel non-intrusive approach to automate the diagnosis and resolution of software failures. This approach is more practical than previous approaches and by minimizing downtime it will yield a major impact to the computing field and to society.
