About the Book
This reference volume consists of revised, edited, cross-referenced, and thematically organized articles from Software Diagnostics Institute and Software Diagnostics Library (former Crash Dump Analysis blog) about software diagnostics, root cause analysis, debugging, crash and hang dump analysis, software trace and log analysis written in June 2017 - November 2018. It is fully cross-referenced with volumes 1 - 10.
Compared to the volume 10, the volume 11 features:
- 8 new crash dump analysis patterns with selected downloadable example memory dumps
- 15 new software trace and log analysis patterns
- Introduction to diagnostic operads
- Summary of mathematical concepts in software diagnostics and software data analysis
- Introduction to software diagnostics engineering
- Introduction to narrachain
- Introduction to diagnostics-driven development
- Principles of integral diamathics
- Introduction to meso-problem solving using meso-patterns
- Introduction to Lego log analysis
- Introduction to artificial chemistry approach to software trace and log analysis
- WinDbg notes
- Updated C++17 source code of some previously published tools
- Selected entries from the debugging dictionary
- List of recommended modern C++ books
- List of recommended books about algorithms
- Author's current CV
- Author's past resume written in WinDbg and GDB style
This volume also includes articles from the former Crash Dump Analysis blog not previously available in print form.
The primary audience for Memory Dump Analysis Anthology reference volumes (Diagnomicon) is software engineers developing and maintaining products on Windows and Linux platforms, technical support, escalation, and site reliability engineers dealing with complex software issues, quality assurance engineers testing software, security and vulnerability researchers, reverse engineers, malware and memory forensics analysts.
About the Author
Dmitry Vostokov is an internationally recognized expert, speaker, educator, scientist, inventor, and author. He founded the pattern-oriented software diagnostics, forensics, and prognostics discipline (Systematic Software Diagnostics) and Software Diagnostics Institute. Vostokov has also authored over 50 books on software diagnostics, anomaly detection and analysis, software and memory forensics, root cause analysis and problem solving, memory dump analysis, debugging, software trace and log analysis, reverse engineering, and malware analysis. He has over 30 years of experience in software architecture, design, development, and maintenance in various industries, including leadership, technical, and people management roles. Dmitry founded OpenTask Iterative and Incremental Publishing and Software Diagnostics Technology and Services (former Memory Dump Analysis Services). In his spare time, he explores Software Narratology and Quantum Software Diagnostics. His interest areas are theoretical software diagnostics and its mathematical and computer science foundations, application of formal logic, semiotics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data mining to diagnostics and anomaly detection, software diagnostics engineering and diagnostics-driven development, diagnostics workflow and interaction. Recent interest areas also include functional programming, cloud native computing, monitoring, observability, visualization, security, automation, applications of category theory to software diagnostics, development and big data, and diagnostics of artificial intelligence.
