Members of the department with expertise in the use of computers as research tools have developed an extensive computer network within the department to which we now all have access. Ongoing support is provided by the Centre for Systems Science since we are part of the CSSNet. The relationship between all computer users in the department is very good and resources are shared on a regular basis. Most offices used by visitors have at the very least a terminal that allows for network access. For graduate students and visitors we have 2 computer rooms which are available 24 hours a day, and the statistics graduate students have 5 Sun workstations in their office which are also connected to the network.
Several printers are available at various locations throughout the department.
We also provide additional computer resources to graduate students and visitors in the department library. We have also developed computer support for our undergraduate students. We have also applied for funds to renovate this workshop to ensure the space is better used and more students can be supported. All staff members use Macintosh computers, also connected to the university network. We have several e-mail groups including one for our undergraduate majors.
