How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Doing System Research

In this talk, I will cover two crucial aspects of doing computer system research: forming ideas and writing papers. For the first topic, I will share my past experiences-both successes and failures-to help the audience develop essential skills for generating research ideas (yes, they often seem to fall from the sky, but you need to know how to catch them). In the second part, I will provide a step-by-step, top-down tutorial on the basic principles of structure, paragraphs, sentences, and word choices in academic writing.
