Abstract :
We consider the often error-prone process of initially building and/or reconfiguring a computer system. We formulate an optimization framework for capturing certain aspects of this system (re)configuration process. We describe offline and online algorithms that could aid operators in making decisions for how best to take actions on their computers so as to maintain the health of their systems.
