Systems We Make Curating complex distributed systems of our times by Srihari Srinivasan.
About:
These are indeed great times for Distributed Systems enthusiasts. The boom in the number and variety of systems being built in both academia and the industry has created a strong need to curate interesting creations under one roof.
Systems We Make was conceived to fill this void. Although Systems We Make is still in its infancy I hope to shape it into something more than just a catalog. So stay tuned as we evolve this site and do write to me about how you feel!
Systems We Make may still be in its “infancy” but I am certainly going to both watch this site for news as well as mine the resources it already offers!
I don’t have any predictions for when it will happen but it isn’t hard to foresee a time when “distributed computing” is as archaic as “my computer.” Computing will be a service much like electricity or water, based on a computing fabric, the details of which matter only those charged with its maintenance.
