An Empirical Study on Environmental Factors for Reproducing Concurrent Software Failures

Mandelbug-caused failures are usually non-deterministic and hard to be reproduced. Trivedi and Grottke proposed the environmental-diversity-based fault tolerance method to mitigate the damages caused by Mandelbugs. However, the design of such fault tolerance methods requires the study on the fundamental research question: what are the environmental factors that can influence the reproducibility of...
