SUMMARY:Run-time behavioural models for error detection\, fault diagnosis\
 , and self-recovery - Paul Ward\, Associate Professor\, Department of Elec
 trical and Computer Engineering\, University of Waterloo

DESCRIPTION:Existing systems-management tools are essentially a plumbing i
 nfrastructure: they collect data and present it to administrators\, typica
 lly with an API to allow administrators to code scripts for automated anal
 ysis. \nPlumbing is the easy part\; analysis is the hard part\; this talk 
 will describe our research on creating effective run-time behavioural mode
 ls of log and metric data\, together with work on how to then use that dat
 a for fault localisation and diagnosis\, leading to self-recovering system
 s.  \nGiven the large costs of running enterprise information systems ($10
 0 billion annually in the US alone\; US Bureau of Labor Statistics)\, our 
 research is expected to result in very significant cost reductions.\n
