Hi Alan,

I am Jeevitha Mahendiran, Graduate Student/Research Assistant Faculty of 
Computer Science, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada...Currently doing a 
research on "Understanding the Use of Models and Visualization Tools in System 
Administration Work"...The information that the you share regarding your work 
will be very helpful for my research!!!

P.S I met you at LISA'12.

Project Title: Understanding the Use of Models and Visualization Tools in 
System Administration Work

We are seeking participants to take part in a study about the tools used by 
system administrators. Participants will be asked to complete an anonymous and 
confidential survey that should take about 20-30 minutes to finish. The study 
is an online survey.

You will be asked about your goals, routines, the system models, and 
visualization tools you work with, and the difficulties faced. You will also be 
asked to provide demographic information about yourself and to characterize 
your position and your organization. Through this study, we hope to understand 
the concerns of system admins, generalize our findings and learn how to better 
design, tools to assist them in their daily routine.

While the survey does not ask for any identifying information (e.g. individual 
or the organization), if you do provide any such information that could 
identify you or the organization, it will be anonymized before data analysis. 
Participation is voluntary and you can withdraw from participation at any time. 
If you think that any question would affect the confidentiality agreement of 
your organization or if you think it would put you in risk in anyway, you can 
avoid answering the question.

To be eligible to participate, you should be a system administrator. 
Participants will not receive any honorarium.

If you are interested in more information about the study, please contact 
Jeevitha
Mahendiran by email at [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> or 
proceed to the survey website at
https://surveys.dal.ca/opinio/s?s=19556

It would be a pleasure to do the study with you. And please do forward the 
survey information to the system administrator groups or people you may know. 


Thanks,
Jeevitha Mahendiran
