Department of Computer Science

Computer Science Labs

A variety of computing facilities are available to students. Our computer labs are equipped with microcomputers running the latest Windows 7 Operating System. These computers are connected through a campus-wide Local Area Network with file servers that provide many different software resources. The LAN also provides access to the Internet. A segment of the LAN hosts a departmental SUN Ultra SPARC T2 processors, which provides computing resources under the Solaris Operating System (a popular version of UNIX). The department has its own server room in SCIE 3039 (phone: x2638). Additional servers and computing equipment are available for faculty/student research in the Computer Science Research Center at SCIE 5031 (phone: x2502).

Computer Science departmental labs are located on the fifth floor of Science-East. University- and college-wide computer labs in the Atrium and the Science Hall are also available for sutdent use throughout the campus. All student dormitories and most of the buildings are Internet connected (via wired or wireless network). Computer Science students at home can access the departmental UNIX and other servers for homework, programming assignments, and projects via the Internet (using secure Telnet or FTP). Student Web sites are hosted on a system available to all William Paterson students at http://nova.wpunj.edu.
