-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Recruiting System Administrators for Survey Study Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2013 08:53:54 -0300 From: jeevitha mahendiran <[email protected]> To: Alan Robertson <[email protected]> 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 Graduate Student/Research Assistant Dalhousie University
