Zero-energy Cloud Project
The CSIT (Computer Science and Information Technology) Department at UDC launches a new collaborative research project ( Zero-energy Cloud Project) with the Deparment of Electric Engineering. This project focuses on utilizing green energy (by solar panel and wind-turbine) to operate cloud computing facility
As an initial state, (S1) Electric Engineering takes the lead of research on Power Scheduling: predicting incoming energy (electricity) based on current and future weather conditions (weather forecast). (S2) Computer Science researches on Job Scheduling: an effective job (task) allocation in consideration of the total amount of generated electricity.

CNSS Courseware Certification
The CSIT (Computer Science and Information Technology) Department at UDC received CNSS courseware certification as:
- Information Systems Security (INFOSEC) Professionals, NSTISSI No. 4011
- Senior Systems Managers, CNSSI No. 4012
This certificate, signed by the CNSS Chair, will be valid through June 2017. CSIT graduates who meet the award requirements will receive institutional certificates as Information Systems Security Professionals or Senior Systems Managers as approved by the Committee on National Security Systems National Training Standards. More detailed information will be posted shortly.
This work was supported in significant part by a grant from the National Science Foundation along with collaboration and mentoring by the University of Denver.

A Cloud Computing Environment
 
Depart. of CSIT built a could computing environment with initial 20 computing nodes. The cloud computing nodes are placed in a specific designated room at UDC. UDC Open Cloud Development Strategic Plan is formed having two phases. For the Phase-I, UDC open cloud platform development has been completed with 20 computing nodes (see Figure 1). For the Phase-II, up to 200 computing nodes are going to be added within next 12 months.

Multi-touch Student Information System
The CSIT (Computer Science and Information Technology) Department built a multi-touch student information system. The multi-touch application has been designed with Microsoft Surface 1.0 SDK and to be run in HP LD4200tm 42-inch Widescreen LCD Interactive Digital Signage Display. This system has been placed outside of the department hallway to provide students opportunities of interacting with this latest multi-touch technology and interactively grasping useful information (i.e. course openings, scholarship opportunities, program catalogs, etc.).
All students and visitors are encouraged to interacting with this system for understanding what is going on and in the Department of Computer Science & Information Technology.
