The Laboratory for Information Technologies (LIT) in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science specializes in secure information systems, high performance and parallel databases, secure delivery of information across the Internet and private intranets, videoconferencing, and link/pattern analysis and discovery in collected data. Primary applications and support are in the law enforcement community, where we develop applications and systems to support operations in state, local and federal agencies. LIT was formed in late 1995, and over the last fifteen years has obtained $? M in sponsored external funding from diverse sources, including the Executive Office of the President/Office of National Drug Control Policy, BellSouth, the NY/NJ HIDTA (High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, a federally funded joint law enforcement task force), the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the National Institute of Justice, the Federal Emergency Management Administration, the Tennessee Economic Development Center, the Metro Nashville Police Department, and the U.S. Tennessee Valley Authority Police. The laboratory draws upon and has supported faculty, staff, undergraduate, and graduate students from the departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and Chemical Engineering.LIT is located in the Science and Engineering Research Facility building, in SERF rooms 439, 209, and 212. It contains the University's only research computer network that is secured from the Internet by a firewall. The firewall has a Gigabit connection to the campus backbone, and the internal network utilizes a Gigabit Ethernet backbone and Gigabit Ethernet to the desktops. Approximately 60 computer hosts are located within the secured network, including OpenSolaris, Linux, and Windows platforms. LIT facilities also support parallel computing including a parallel computer cluster with 12 nodes, each with at least 4 cores. The nodes are connected using a Gigabit Ethernet switch and run the OpenSolaris operating systems. The cluster has over 48 Gbytes of aggregate memory and 3.2 Tbytes of aggregate disk drive storage using ZFS as the underlying filesystems. For more details click here. If
