Key research themes
1. How can automation and agent-based architectures reduce the complexity and cost of system administration in networked servers?
This theme investigates the use of automation tools, particularly agent-based architectures, to streamline system administration tasks for networked servers. It addresses the challenge of high manual effort, procedural repetitiveness, and scalability constraints in managing multi-platform networks, aiming to reduce labor costs and minimize human error through autonomous, flexible software agents.
2. What are effective approaches to developing centralized, web-based administrative information systems for organizational and institutional management?
Research here focuses on the design and deployment of web- and application-based information systems tailored to meet organizational needs in hospital management, educational institutions, village governance, and business operations. Key issues include data centralization, report automation, user-friendly interfaces, and integration with existing workflows to enhance process efficiency, accountability, and service responsiveness.
3. How can virtualization and server consolidation techniques optimize resource utilization and reduce infrastructure costs in network server administration?
This theme examines the use of virtualization technologies such as VMWare Workstation for hosting multiple server roles on single hardware to address physical infrastructure limitations, enhance scalability, and improve manageability in networked environments while reducing capital and operational costs.
