• Etherpad (collaborative word processing),

News: Restriction due to corona measures

Due to further limited presence on campus only the terminal room 48-211 is opened under conditions and the service point is only open irregularly.

However, you can access the systems and servers via remote connection without restrictions and reach us via email (sci@cs.uni-kl.de), for example.

For face-to-face events, please use the webapp intake provided by RHRK for contact tracking.

News: Opening of Terminal Room 48-211

Due to continued limited presence operations on campus, SCI's Terminal Room 48-211 will be open on a limited basis.

Terminals and terminal rooms

Via one of the over 80 Terminals, which are exclusively available to computer science students, you can log on to our server clusters at any time.

Remote connection: "anytime from everywhere"

Server-Cluster

In total, up to one terabyte of RAM and hundreds of processors are at your disposal, with whose support you can solve even the most complex and computationally intensive tasks. By using the latest virtualization technologies, we are able to allocate resources efficiently.

E-Mail and storage space

Every computer science student receives an unlimited valid email adress and several gigabytes storage space, to manage and store all study-relevant data.

Print service

As a computer science student you have a free monthly printing quota. You can send your documents directly to a terminal room printer or to our printer pool. For the management and administration of our print service we use the Linux version of Papercut. Whether directly from an application or via a web frontend, you can print your documents from anywhere at any time.

Software on the server systems

On our server systems we offer various Linux-versions from which you can choose.

Depending on the wishes of the teachers of the department, the systems are also configured in such a way that they can be perfectly adapted are cut. A time consuming configuration of your private system is not necessary, so that you can start directly with the solution of your actual task. If a program should be missing, simply contact us or write a email. In most cases the program will be integrated into our software inventory immediately.

Software for own computers

Computer science students can access the MSDN-AA program, which provides the latest Windows versions and much more free of charge.

Development and hosting and web applications

We host and maintain over 50 websites of the department. Furthermore we develop and operate numerous web services, such as

• an Online submission system,
• a job board,
• an exam loan system and
• a survey system, over which among other things the VLU is accomplished.
