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.

Saurav Das has been involved with SDN and OpenFlow since 2008, as part of his PhD work at Stanford. After graduating, he spent two years in the engineering team at Big Switch Networks, working on controller platform scalability in large data center networks. Before Stanford, he spent several years in the networking industry designing sub-systems at Enablence. He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, and an MS from the University of Arizona, Tucson.
