This $273,563 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports the development of a framework to provide low-effort runtime assurance for detecting, diagnosing, mitigating, and preventing failures in cloud computing systems. The central objective is to leverage automated reasoning to extract insights from existing system resources, enabling continuous and integrated construction of runtime semantic checkers. This approach aims to address the challenge of silent semantic failures in cloud systems, which violate system semantics without generating error signals. The project will deploy and validate the developed techniques in collaboration with industry partners including Microsoft and Amazon. Key focus areas include timely failure detection, root cause analysis, and verification of mitigation strategies to reduce risks. The award period runs from February 1, 2025 through January 31, 2030.
