I take it to imply the 'system' they are programming is the distributed/concurrent complex they are running. To other people, 'system' is below that, and this is application programming, or "middleware"

It seems like at any level, you write the system, and applications are above.

What else does the systems community do these days besides concurrent distributed systems?


Power management and flash/SSD-aware filesystems are also quite the rage.


Ya: distributed computing, storage, and power are hot. Where did all the kernel research go?


Much of it happens with different objectives, or at different levels, in the context of computing, storage and power management. See Akaros for example: http://akaros.cs.berkeley.edu/akaros-web/overview.php .
