Abstract

>Magister Scientiae - MScIn this chapter, we provide the motivation and background behind the automatic optimisation of an operating system. We begin with a discussion of some of the difficulties of automatic operating system optimisation and the benefits of automatic optimisation technology which inspired our research. We then describe the research problem and aims. Thereafter, our approach and methodology are explained. Finally, the organisation of the thesis and summary are presented. 1.1 Background and Motivation In today's networking world, a mission-critical server requires consistently good performance [2] . To this end, almost all operating systems which run on such a critical server are managed by system administrators who...
