Abstract: Researching system administration by Eric Arnold Anderson Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science University of California at Berkeley Professor Dave Patterson, Chair System administration is a phenomenally important, yet surprisingly ignored sub-field of Computer Science. We hypothesize that this avoidance is because approaches for performing academic research on system administration problems are not well known. To reduce the difficulty of performing research, we present a small set of ... (Update)
