> Special CHIMIT/LISA Workshop
>
> Aligning the Research Interests of System Administrators and CHIMIT
> Researchers
>
> It has long been understood that the inclusion of end users in HCI studies
> is the ideal to which most, if not all, investigations should strive.
While
> some studies target end users who are plentiful, straightforward to
access,
> or easy to proxy (e.g., the use of undergraduate students to represent
> administrative assistants), HCI researchers interested in the management
of
> IT face many challenges when recruiting subjects, namely system
> administrators (sysadmins). First, sysadmins perform work that is complex
> and high risk, creating situations and environments that cannot be easily
> replicated in a laboratory experiment or outside of their native work
> environment. Second, studies have argued that sysadmins are different from
> other computer professionals (such as computer programmers); and as such,
> proxies cannot accurately approximate their interactions and behaviors in
> experiments. Finally, studies suggest that it is particularly difficult to
> gain access to sysadmins for study, for reasons that include distrust of
> outsiders, overwhelming workloads, and disinterest in research.
>
> To encourage and promote collaboration among researchers and sysadmins, we
> are holding a one-day LISA workshop on Monday, December 5, to be held in
> conjunction with CHIMIT ?11 and LISA ?11. LISA is one of the largest
USENIX
> conferences and attracts sysadmins working with large infrastructures.
> Participants will include researchers interested in research involving
> sysadmins, and senior sysadmins in the field interested in participating
or
> providing access to research data. This workshop will provide an
> opportunity for in-depth discussions between CHIMIT researchers and highly
> experienced system administrators. The expected outcomes include:
> 1. the identification of key areas of future research/collaborations
> 2. initial action plans, and
> 3. future joint conference submissions for CHIMIT and/or LISA.
>
> Submissions
> Interested researchers should briefly describe their interest in research
> and identify 2-3 key issues that they would be interested in investigating
> in cooperation with sysadmins. Workshop attendees will be selected from
> interested CHIMIT participants. There will be a $50 surcharge in addition
> to the regular 1-day CHIMIT registration fee. Approximately 10-20
attendees
> will be admitted to the workshop based on the proposals. We also
> anticipate 10-20 senior sysadmins as participants; these sysadmins will be
> selected based on their interest in participation in research and their
> ability to offer feedback, access, and data for the projects identified
> during the conference.
>
> Position papers should be sent to: workshop at chimit.acm.org. Interested
> researchers are encouraged to submit papers this week.
>
> Benefits
> Benefits to CHIMIT participants include:
> Admittance to the LISA workshop, which will include lunch and two catered
> breaks.
> Opportunity to meet and talk with sysadmins and get feedback on
> current/future projects;
> Opportunity to mingle and snack with sysadmins during breaks (the
important
> ?hallway track?).
> Access to USENIX publications, including LISA proceedings.
> Better understanding of issues and problems facing sysadmins today.
> Opportunity to design and conduct engaged research with sysadmins.
>
> Costs
> For $50, selected researchers will be admitted to the LISA workshop, which
> will include lunch and two catered breaks. In addition, reimbursement for
> one night of hotel stay (up to $200) will be provided. Attendees staying
> at the LISA conference hotel may be able to have their extra night paid
> directly by the organizers.
>
> Organizers
> This special cross-conference workshop will be facilitated by Nicole F.
> Velasquez, Adam Moskowitz, and Paul Anderson.
> Nicole is an Assistant Professor at Pepperdine University and is a
> recognized sysadmin researcher in both academic and industry circles. She
> was chair of CHIMIT ?10 and has served on two LISA program committees.

Topics
