Configuring modern enterprise software can be extremely difficult because their behaviors often depend on large numbers of configuration parameters. Software vendors can simplify the configuration process for new users by collecting and using configuration information from existing users. In particular, we observe that (1) a "good" configuration may work well for many different users, and (2) multiple configurations may work well for each user. We leverage these observations to design MassConf, a system that collects and uses existing configurations to automatically configure new software installations. Our evaluations with a case study confirm our observations and show that MassConf successfully reaches the targets of many more new installations than an existing efficient optimization algorithm.
