A Request to Improve Computers at OIMB

该项目将使俄勒冈州海洋生物研究所（OIMB）能够改善其局域计算机网络，并加强其与俄勒冈州大学校园网络的联系。OIMB的研究计划在过去五年中大大扩展，教师职位和相应支持人员的数量翻了一番。 对局域网进行了逐步的改进，但这种零敲碎打的改进无法跟上当前的技术发展。通过改进计算机网络和软件包，该设施将使所有访问和驻地研究人员能够利用适当的图形用户界面进入互联网，并将提高我们储存、处理和分析数据的能力。这些改进还将使OIMB能够通过万维网上的OIMB Mosaic主页与更大的科学界分享当地重要的数据库。 该项目非常符合提高实地研究设施的计算和通信能力的理念。 这将使OIMB在现有技术的框架内发挥作用。

This project will allow the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology (OIMB) to improve its local area computer network and enhance its link to the University of Oregon campus network. The research program at OIMB has expanded considerably in the past five years and has doubled the number of faculty positions and corresponding support staff. Incremental changes have been made to the local area network, but such piecemeal improvements have not been able to keep up with current technological developments. By improving the computer network and software packages the facility will provide all visiting and resident researchers with access to the Internet, utilizing appropriate graphical user interfaces, and will enhance our ability to store, manipulate and analyze data. The improvements will also allow OIMB to share locally significant databases with the larger scientific community via an OIMB Mosaic Homepage on the World Wide Web. This project fits well with the philosophy of advancing computing and communications capabilities of field research facilities. It will place OIMB well within the framework of current technology.
