34. Interaction with Other Centers
SERC
Focus is on Software Engineering in general. CRDC focuses on Distributed Computing. Tivoli might choose to stay in SERC if research projects in SERC continue to be of mutual interest.
CERIAS
Focus is on Security in general. CRDC focuses on security in Distributed Computing. Tivoli might choose to join CERIAS if CIRIAS projects continue to be of mutual interest.
Both SERC and CERIAS have a model different from the one proposed here for CRDC. Through CRDC Tivoli will have access to all faculty currently participating in SERC or CERIAS sponsored research.
