Computer Science Laboratory
Our Faculties

The faculties' websites (except personal and laboratory websites) are updated by the GLI on request. Please note that the GLI can only edit prefabricated content and that the implementation cannot always take place immediately.

We are happy to support you with minor computer problems by providing advice and assistance. Please understand that we cannot take care of procurements or administrative tasks. In these areas we have to limit ourselves to the GLI and ask you to contact your own employees.

If you have any questions about your e-mail, WLAN or VPN access, please contact the responsible university IT (KIS).

The GLI prepares the computers for the coming semester. Teaching educators must submit a list of the required software to the GLI staff in good time (usually during the lecture-free period).

Once the "master image" has been completed, the GLI offers the opportunity to test the functionality of the software and make any necessary adjustments.

Note: Changes after the deadline for reporting software requirements can only be considered with difficulty. Therefore, please note the deadlines for submitting the software list and the opportunity for testing.

For teaching in the laboratories, the GLI offers the option of hosting a virtual machine (VM) on one of the servers. The GLI takes over the initial setup of the VM. Subsequently, the respective university teacher / lecturer is responsible for the functionality of the VM in accordance with the user regulations of The Hochschule Niederrhein.

Note: The GLI reserves the right to switch off the VM as a precautionary measure to prevent damage caused by misconfiguration or malfunctions.

Note: For compulsory optional courses, it is possible to install virtual machines with VirtualBox on the client computers. For this we need a pre-built VM from the respective lecturer.

Note: Virtual machines are only accessible within the lab networks.

In addition to the topics for theses that you can find from the GLI's university teachers / lecturers, GLI staff also offer their own topics.

You can obtain a list of these topics on request or in a personal discussion.

The GLI's university teachers / lecturers are mainly active in research and development at the iPattern and IMH institutes. Information on their fields of work and core research areas can be found on the respective institute websites.

Our employees are also involved in various R&D projects.

• Mr Gräbel (IMH)
