In Memoriam: Jay Lepreau, 1952-2008 I don t want to break precedent or anything by starting this on time, or doing anything other than at the last minute... Jay Lepreau, OSDI Welcome Comments, 1994. Jay Lepreau was uncharacteristically early in his passing, but left behind him a trail of great research, rigorously and repeatably evaluated systems, and lives changed for the better. Most in our community know Jay as the creator of Emulab; the more systems-oriented may also know that he conceived and served as the rst program chair for OSDI in 1994. Those in the security community see the path that his work in microkernels took through Fluke, to Flask, to today s SELinux. While diverse and proli c, Jay s research can also be easily summed up with a few traits: he devoted his boundless energy to creating real systems that had major practical impact. In fact, Jay and his research group, heavy in talented systems programmers, were unique among the academic community in their willingness and ability to create and maintain artifacts that were used, over decades, by thousands of other researchers. Emulab alone revolutionized the evaluation sections of networking and distributed systems
