Abstract: A human oriented object programming system provides an interactive and dynamic process for debugging computer programs which facilitates the development of complex computer programs such as operating systems and large applications with graphic user interfaces (GUIs). The system performs goal directed debugging in response to a user request. The user merely inputs a high level debugging request, and the system breaks down the request into a set of goals and subgoals for implementing the high level user request. The system automatically develops one or more hypotheses which are tested in attempting to handle the debugging request of the user. Once a hypothesis is found to be true, the system automatically initiates backtracking, and further hypothesis, if necessary, to carry out the user request.

System and methods for adaptive threshold determination for performance metrics
John J. McGee,John Michael Earley,James W Matthews +2 more
- 18 Jul 2002
TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for dynamically generating alarm thresholds for performance metrics, and for applying those thresholds to generate alarms is described, where statistical methods are used to generate one or more thresholds for metrics that may not fit a Gaussian or normal distribution, or that may exhibit cyclic behavior or persistent shifts in the values of the metrics.
