  COCONF: conceptual language-based configuration
Magro D.  AI Communications 23(1): 1-46, 2010. Type: Article

The configuration problem is a classic problem in constraint satisfaction, with a history that goes back at least as far as R1 and Xcon, the rule-based systems for configuring Vaxen. Today, there are many configurators on the Web--a Google...

  Design and implementation of a tool for analyzing SELinux secure policy
Zhai G., Ma W., Tian M., Yang N., Liu C., Yang H.  ICIS 2009 (Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Interaction Sciences, Seoul, Korea,  Nov 24-26, 2009) 446-451, 2009. Type: Proceedings

Can a tool really give insight into software security? I hope so! This hard-to-read and full-of-jargon paper describes a research effort to find such a tool to understand security for those who use Linux....

  Policy technologies for self-managing systems
Agrawal D., Calo S., Lee K., Lobo J., Verma D.,  IBM Press, Upper Saddle River, NJ, 2008. 240 pp. Type: Book

Managing an information technology (IT) infrastructure is a labor-intensive task for which not enough skilled people are available. The idea is to make those IT systems autonomous, shifting the operational decision making from the people to the...

  Practical subversion (2nd ed.)
Berlin D., Rooney G.,  Apress, Berkeley, CA, 2006. 304 pp. Type: Book (9781590597538)

Subversion is one of the hottest tools to appear recently in configuration management, at least to the extent that anything in this critical field can be considered hot. I have not yet worked in a team using Subversion, and thus was very excited...

  Checking software component behavior using behavior protocols and spin
Kofron J.  Applied computing (Proceedings of the 2007 ACM Symposium on Applied Computing, Seoul, Korea,  Mar 11-15, 2007) 1513-1517, 2007. Type: Proceedings

An interesting and possibly important status report on checking component behavior is presented in this paper. Do not expect to be able to use the results to check your components just yet. Do expect to find an incomplete perspective, as the work ...

  Modeling dynamic environments in multi-agent simulation
Helleboogh A., Vizzari G., Uhrmacher A., Michel F.  Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems 14(1): 87-116, 2007. Type: Article

Ensuring the robust design of multiagent simulations is a current issue in the agent field. The authors of this paper argue that discrete event simulation environments should include support for domain-specific concepts and constructs, providing...

  Impact of software engineering research on the practice of software configuration management
Estublier J., Leblang D., Hoek A., Conradi R., Clemm G., Tichy W., Wiborg-Weber D.  ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology 14(4): 383-430, 2005. Type: Article

Software engineering (SE) and software configuration management (SCM) are compared in this paper. The concept is fascinating: to document the impact of SE research on SCM, perhaps the most directly “practical impact” of any part of...
