Methods for finding influences on program failure
Adele E. Howe, Aaron D. Fuegi · 2002
This paper describes two approaches for detecting patterns of detrimental program behavior, called dependencies, over long periods of time; these dependencies indicate cases where previous events influence the occurrence of later failure. This research extends a previous approach that was limited to temporally adjacent events. The two approaches, heuristic search and local search, are demonstrated on several data sets from an AI planner and are compared on their efficiency and the dependencies they detect.>
