Center Overview
The Center is an effort to bring to bear the explosion of information
technology-related discoveries and apply them in a focused manner
to the discovery and learning processes.
In addition, the Cyber Center will provide a venue
for all IT-related research, hardware, software, and staffing to
come together in a single venue allowing new discoveries that can
have immediate impact on discovery, learning, and engagement.
The Cyber Center will place Purdue in a competitive
advantage by accelerating discovery which will lead to new avenues
of research both in IT and in disciplines that have not yet realized
the full potential for cyber infrastructure supported research.
The Center will institutionalize an integrated
cyber infrastructure that will benefit basic research across the
campus. The co-location and shared research objectives will be powerful
drivers in the development new technology, new discoveries, and new
businesses. This will result in start-up businesses, new jobs, and
economic development for the State of Indiana.
Mission
The goal of the Cyber Center (CC) is to create a center of national preeminence in computational methods for discovery and learning. Cyberinfrastructure (CI) is infrastructure based upon distributed computer, information, and communication technology.
Vision
The Cyber Center's vision is to create an interdisciplinary facility of national prominence that will:
- Engage in basic CI research
- Develop new CI tools and techniques
- Deploy results to real communities meeting real user needs at Purdue and beyond
