Do you mean OS research or systems research more broadly? That paper was written 20 years ago... I don't think systems research is dying at all. Since that was written there have been huge advances in areas such as cloud etc. I would go so far as to say the paper's claims have been proven to be nonsense (as is so often the case for 'end of history' type claims).
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoSystems research has changed drastically in the last 20 years, but it’s still a pretty strong community. Interest in OS-specific research, on the other hand, is mostly dead, general internet in OS likewise (people generally have what they want in an OS by now). PL research on the other hand, is in trouble, but that’s a different topic.
- sabas123 5y agoWhy would you say that PL research is in trouble? Conferences like PLDI and more ones like LANGSEC are going strong and there are probably more out there.
