Description - Selected Papers in Network and System Administration by Eric Anderson
The emergence of network and System Administration, during the
latter quarter century, as a discipline of science and engineering,
has culminated in a number of paradigms for managing networks of
collaborating machines. These include automatic regulation, policy
based management, computer immunology, quality control procedures
and even the psychology of the user-system interaction. Techniques
based on scripting, declarative languages, empirical measurements,
and theoretical models, spanning psychology to game theory have
been developed.
In this volume, key contributions to the discipline are presented
through the words of the authors who contributed them. The forum
for this thread of ideas has been the USENIX Association's LISA
conferences, originally the "Large System Administration"
conference. These conferences have played, and continue to play, a
unique role in cementing a relationship between researchers and
working network and system administrators.
Computer scientists,engineers, system administrators and students
will each find something of permanent value here. No matter what
developments the future brings, these words represent important
conceptual foundations of the field. These papers are reprinted
here for the first time in a convenient form, along with a
commentary reflecting on their significance within the discipline
as a whole.
