Diagnosis, Observability & Configuration of Clouds
Research Mission
The D.O.C.C. lab’s research mission is to make debugging the distributed systems that govern our everyday lives easier. The research we do to support this mission takes many forms and involves many subject areas. Some areas of interest for possible research include, but are not limited to:
- Creating tools that automate aspects of debugging
- Creating tools or visualizations that help engineers with their debugging efforts
- Creating tools that help end users make sense of problems
- Understanding how security and privacy concerns may impact diagnosing problems that involve many parties’ systems
- Understanding usability concerns around diagnosis tools
- Building more principled distributed systems that are more easily debugged
