Abstract
This talk is composed of two mini-talks. In the first half of the
talk, I will talk about how I use operating system support to make
trouble shooting misconfiguration easier. Troubleshooting
misconfiguration is a frustrating process. In this work, I use a
modified Linux, which supports checkpoint/rollback and speculative
execution, to allow users to explore many possible solutions for
a configuration problem. The evaluation showed that user
troubleshooting time is greatly improved with operating system
support for three real world applications. I will conclude the first
half by talking about some systems management work my research group
is conducting for cloud environment. For the second half, I will
switch gear to talk about Slingshot, a system that enables mobile
phones to opportunistically use machines nearby to offload
computation.

Bio:
Ya-Yunn Su received her B.A. degree in Information Management from
National Taiwan University in 2001, and her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees
in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Michigan
Ann Arbor in 2004 and 2008, respectively. After graduation, she
joined the Autonomous and Scalable Distributed Systems Group at NEC
Labs in Princeton, NJ as a research staff member. After almost two
years with NEC Labs, she joined the faculty of Computer Science and
Information Engineering Department at National Taiwan University,
where she is currently an assistant professor since August 2010. Her
research interests include operating systems, systems management,
mobile computing, and cloud computing.
