The The Computer CentreComputer Centre in in UACEGUACEG dates back to dates back to 1977. Its evolution through the years is closely related to one 1977. Its evolution through the years is closely related to one of the most dynamic fields of human knowledge: computer of the most dynamic fields of human knowledge: computer technologies.technologies.

At the moment hundreds of PCs are being At the moment hundreds of PCs are being operated at the operated at the UACEGUACEG. The majority of them are organised . The majority of them are organised in local faculty networks. This resulted in the prompt in local faculty networks. This resulted in the prompt exchange of information and simultaneous use of databases exchange of information and simultaneous use of databases at various terminals. It is a considerable step forward towards at various terminals. It is a considerable step forward towards the simultaneous and coordinated work of numerous the simultaneous and coordinated work of numerous specialists, such as professors and students, on joint projects specialists, such as professors and students, on joint projects and research. and research.

During the last few years the longed for access During the last few years the longed for access of the University to global computer networks - first Bitnet of the University to global computer networks - first Bitnet and now Internet, became a reality. This brought about the and now Internet, became a reality. This brought about the possibility for direct exchange of current scientific information possibility for direct exchange of current scientific information with similar universities all over the world. with similar universities all over the world.

During the last several years the main During the last several years the main tendencies and goals of the work in the tendencies and goals of the work in the Computer CentreComputer Centre are are in the field of developing and maintaining global databases - in the field of developing and maintaining global databases - for the specific needs of the University, and their free and for the specific needs of the University, and their free and secure Internet access through the World Wide Web. secure Internet access through the World Wide Web.

Ten years ago were created some of the Ten years ago were created some of the fundamental databases - "Dialog System for the fundamental databases - "Dialog System for the StudentsStudents’’ Study Process" with Study Process" with ORACLEORACLE for VAX/VMS for VAX/VMS and "System for the Management of University's Basic and "System for the Management of University's Basic Means" with Means" with RDBRDB for VAX/VMS. At the same time an for VAX/VMS. At the same time an electronic catalogue of all available library entries was electronic catalogue of all available library entries was developed in collaboration with the Central Library of all developed in collaboration with the Central Library of all the Technical Universities, providing the opportunity for the Technical Universities, providing the opportunity for direct browsing of catalogues for all users accessing the direct browsing of catalogues for all users accessing the Internet. The database used for this project was Internet. The database used for this project was ISISISIS for for VAX/VMS. There are about 120000 entries in the VAX/VMS. There are about 120000 entries in the electronic electronic catalogues of books and periodicalscatalogues of books and periodicals, found in , found in the WEB Site of the WEB Site of UACEG.UACEG.

At present the computer specialists in the At present the computer specialists in the Computer Computer CentreCentre are developing the necessary program modules of are developing the necessary program modules of the "Global University's Information System", including the "Global University's Information System", including "Students' Admission Campaign", "Students' Medical "Students' Admission Campaign", "Students' Medical Insurance“Insurance“,, "Students' Diplomas' Issue", "Administration of "Students' Diplomas' Issue", "Administration of Staff and Students", "Administration of University's Study Staff and Students", "Administration of University's Study Processes", etc. The database used is Microsoft Processes", etc. The database used is Microsoft AccessAccess with VBA.with VBA.

In the In the Computer CentreComputer Centre there there are specialists with are specialists with various qualifications various qualifications taking taking part in workgroups with part in workgroups with lecturers from other departments. The aim is to ensure a lecturers from other departments. The aim is to ensure a good quality of teaching activities and the solving of good quality of teaching activities and the solving of scientific and project problems in the domain of construction scientific and project problems in the domain of construction and building.and building.
