LISA: Where systems engineering and operations professionals share real-world knowledge about designing, building, and maintaining the critical systems of our interconnected world.

The LISA conference has long served as the annual vendor-neutral meeting place for the wider system administration community. The LISA14 program recognized the overlap and differences between traditional and modern IT operations and engineering, and developed a highly-curated program around 5 key topics: Systems Engineering, Security, Culture, DevOps, and Monitoring/Metrics. The program included 22 half- and full-day training sessions; 10 workshops; and a conference program consisting of 50 invited talks, panels, refereed paper presentations, and mini-tutorials.

Kyrre Begnum works as an Associate Professor at Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences where he teaches sysadmin courses at the MSc and BS levels. Kyrre holds a PhD from the University of Oslo with a focus on understanding the behavior of large systems. He has experience with large scale virtual machine management, cloud architectures and developing sysadmin tools. His research focus is on practical and understandable approaches that bring advanced models to real life scenarios.
