Abstract
Open-source software (OSS) is presently widely used. However, OSS is difficult for novices to use because few OSS products have good manuals. To solve this problem, we have proposed a method of automatically generating a web manual for installing the OSS. However, many OSS products require changes to be made to the configuration file. Furthermore, more systems are adopting OSS as middleware, such as application servers and database management systems. The processing performance of such OSS middleware is known to be low for default settings and a great improvement is achieved by optimizing the system settings. Therefore, this research proposes the automatic generation of a web-based configuration manual employing system optimizing technology.
