DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Computer systems are notoriously difficult to tune. 
 In this talk\, I will present Structured Bayesian Optimization\, a framewo
 rk which lets users expose the tunable parameters of their programs so the
 y can be automatically optimized. To help the optimization converge in a r
 easonable time\, users can expose the structure available\, in the form of
  a probabilistic model simulating the execution of the system. I will pres
 ent some of our case studies and discuss possible future applications.
