The CERC team consists of over 40 employees, including faculty researchers from West Virginia University's Department of Statistics and Computer Science, full-time technical staff, and graduate research assistants. We also have our own administrative and computer support staff to facilitate the financial, administrative, and technical aspects of our operations. This staff is supported by West Virginia University's Office of Sponsored Programs and Office of the Controller in the operation and management of grants, contracts, and other research alliances. Our facility includes offices and cubicles, conference rooms, testing and demonstration facilities, satellite up-link equipment, and video production facilities.
Additional space is available for expansion.
Our computing environment supports a variety of research activities and administrative tasks. We maintain our own local area network using Ethernet and are connected to the Internet through the West Virginia University network. The CERC Testbed is a heterogeneous computing environment in which our software and methodologies to support collaboration are independently tested, integrated, and evaluated. Our researchers then develop demonstrable models of real-world application systems. The Testbed facility enables our collaborators to assess the potential of emerging commercial and prototype software and to test improved processes that can be implemented in their organizations.
