> Title: Whole System Monitoring in Windows
>
> Venue: CS 105
>
> Time: 3 pm - 4 pm, Friday, 09/21/2007
>
> Abstract:
>
> Operating Systems like Windows are extremely complex and often there are many
> interactions between the software and services running in the system which
> changes its persistent state. Managing, diagnosing and also securing
> one or more Windows systems can be difficult unless one is able to understand
> and deal with the complex persistent state system interactions.
> In this talk, we describe WinResMon, a monitoring infrastructure for Windows
> which does whole-level system monitoring. By looking at all the system
> interactions, we are able to explain questions about resource usage,
> dependencies and interactions over time.
> Ideally, one should capture all interesting system interactions continuously
> but such continuous monitoring raises its own challenges. We will discuss
> some of these during the talk.
