The Concordia Institute for Information Systems Engineering offers students a wide range of current technologies to conduct and develop research projects. Students have access to the Telecommunications Service Engineering Research Laboratory and the Security Teaching Laboratory. The Institute has an industrial board and maintains relationships with several government agencies, corporations and industrial research laboratories.
Computing facilities for teaching are provided by the centralized IT (AITS) services of the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science. In the Faculty, over 1600 PC's are integrated in a gigabit Network, in addition to a 16 terabyte NAS file server, numerous "Services" and "Application" servers, and a modern HPC Cluster with 464 compute cores and 128 visualization cores. For graduate teaching, there are about 300 desktops available in 26 computer labs and 4 project rooms in the EV building. All systems are dual boot Linux/Windows (XP), with general Microsoft tools provided by the current Campus agreement and other special engineering applications (AutoCAD, Matlab, Rational Rose, etc.) necessary to satisfy the teaching mission. The software is updated every term and the systems are monitored closely.
Furthermore, students in the laboratories can experiment with systems (i.e. security, software installation and evaluation, and implementation of device-drivers). In these laboratories, the computers are "open", and the students have full control of the system. The CIISE also maintains a "closed" lab in which students are given an opportunity to manipulate viruses in a safe environment.
