Mark Burgess Biography

Mark Burgess is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on February 19, 1966 in Manchester, England, United Kingdom. Mark Burgess (born 19 February 1966) is an independent researcher and writer. He was a former Professor of Oslo University College in Norway and the creator of CFEngine software and company known for his research in computer science within the field of configuration management based on policies.

After a position document’manifesto which outlined the issues in research required for self-repairing systems Burgess set out to study computer systems in terms of a range of empirical phenomena. He took an approach that was based on physics to gain an understanding about the patterns and scales. Self- healing or self-maintaining, systems was initially known as Computer Immunology because it was based on studies in what is known as the Danger model of the human immune systems. The research studies are published as a variety of formats from 1999 between 2003 and 1999, culminating in a journal review and an alternative method of automatized machine learning for system- wide behavior-based characters. The idea was based on exponential smoothing (which was known as geometric average) to facilitate fast learning and a two- dimensional cylindrical time model that is based upon the idea that the network traffic of clients and servers is expected to behave as the quasi- periodic stochastic functions (a feature of systems that is near equilibrium).

Promise theory was introduced as a model of voluntary co-operation between agents, in 2004, for understanding human-computer systems with complex interactions, and was later developed with Dutch computer scientist and friend Jan Bergstra into a book. Interest in promise theory has grown in the IT industry, with several products citing it.

Since 2007, Burgess has turned his attention to the matter of knowledge representations and knowledge management, often using Promise Theory as an agency model.

The research conducted from 1998 to 2002 culminated in the publication of a monograph Analytical Network and System Administration: Management of Human- Computer Systems. Although it was quite extensive about some aspects of the system, Burgess identified a missing part of the puzzle which was the best way to explain the distributed cooperation between computers within networks. This led to further work which eventually led to Promise Theory, proposed at the Distributed Systems, Operations and Management conference in Barcelona in 2005.

Burgess has contributed to the field of theoretical and empirical computer science, mostly in the field of the behavior of computing infrastructures and services. In the beginning of 1990, Burgess asserted that programmatic models of computer programs couldn’t be used to describe the behavior of a computer on a macro scale and suggested that the statistical theory of physics can be employed instead, thereby comparing synthetic systems with semi-natural phenomenon. In the wake of the increasing fascination with the role of information in physics Burgess has proposed that the fields of physics and computer science are interconnected with the help of concepts from promise theory. This is done through the concept of semantic spacetime. It is a description of the functional aspects of spacetime at various dimensions, and provides an alternative approach to the Robin Milner bigraph theory.

in 1993 Burgess presented the software CFEngine that was based on his the premise of intuition and practice, focused on the concept of continuous desired state ‘convergence’ in order to control the configuration of the system. The term”convergence,” employed by Burgess was now mistakenly called idempotence since the term convergence meant both the desired end-state as well as the idempotence that an error correction operator in the desired state. The shift in interest to Theoretical Physics towards Computer Science, Burgess then began to investigate the impromptu choices initially madeand then began to develop the scientific basis for understanding these choices in computer systems.

The notion of an equilibrium or steady state operation thus became the baseline, replacing arbitrary thresholds used in the monitoring software of the day. The software CFEngine became the proof of concept platform using these methods for system state anomaly detection, from 2002 to the present, and received widespread use.
