Existing in a network environment

摘要

While the field of computing is certainly no stranger to change (technological innovations and user demands being what they are), it seems as though changes lately in industry have accelerated to an almost unmanageable pace. As providers of computing services to university communities, we at UCC's have been perhaps slightly insulated from the more violent eddies of change by fairly stable user bases and predictable (if not incapacitating) levels of funding.

This paper seeks to address some of the more tangible issues encountered by our Center as we pass through a period of, to put it euphemistically, transition.
