The National Center for Data Mining
at the University of Illinois at Chicago
needed a system for scheduling workstations for exclusive
interactive use by researchers. Requirements included the ability to
schedule linux and unix systems, integration with LDAP, and a web
interface for controlling reservations. NIUS NCDM's reservation
system, meets the above requirements.
NIUS Architecture:
