- Call for Papers
- Workshop on Large Installation Systems Administration
-
- Monterey, California
- November 17-18, 1988
-
- Sponsored by the USENIX Association
-
-
- In light of last year's successful workshop on Large Installation
- Systems Administration, Alix Vasilatos will again be chairing a workshop
- on this subject in Monterey, CA on Thursday and Friday, November 17th
- and 18th, 1988. There is demonstrable benefit in bringing together
- system administrators of sites with 100 or more users (on one or more
- processors) to compare notes on solutions that they have found for a
- variety of common problems. These include but are not limited to:
-
- Large file systems (dumps, networked file systems)
- Password file administration
- Large mail system administration
- USENET/News/Notes administration
- Heterogeneous environments (mixed vendor and/or version)
- Load control and batch systems
- Monitoring tools
- Software release to multiple systems
- Output device management
-
- We are particularly interested in technical solutions to problems
- involving changes which directly affect users.
-
- The workshop will focus on short papers and presentations. Please
- submit (electronically, to alix@athena.MIT.EDU) a one or two page
- single-spaced summary describing the solution to a problem. Include
- a description of the unique characteristics of the site, an outline
- of the problem, and a description of the solution (detailed enough
- that fellow administrators can implement it). Workshop proceedings
- will be available at the workshop.
-
- The deadline for submissions is September 15, 1988. For further details
