Web Space
The Department administers its own web site at
cs.brown.edu
for the use of CS faculty, staff and students. The web provides
information about department programs, research, people and
facilities. In addition, space in the web is created for the
following:
- Personal home pages
- Research groups
- Computer Science Courses
- Special events or projects
- Virtual hosts
Personal home pages are created and removed automatically along with user accounts for faculty, staff, graduate students and undergraduate concentrators only. All other web space requests should be directed to problem.
Static and Dynamic Content
Our web content is delivered in two ways. A content management system responds to some requests by dynamically generating web pages from data stored in a database. Other requests are served from files on the filesystem. Either approach may be used by department web authors.
Creating Web Pages
How you go about creating web content depends on whether you wish to create static or dynamic pages.
Web Applications
Our web also offers a number of web applications.
