1997 was the year when CISN (Computing &
Information Services Newsletter) was published by Computer Center for the
last time, and from that day onwards, we had had great deal of changes and
improvements both in the computer information world and on the computational
infrastructure of METU. Eventually, CISN is revived once more in 2001, and
in this first issue, as well as saying "Hi again to everybody!", we would
like to focus on the improvements that have been achieved during the period
when CISN was not being published. The services which are very recently
introduced and the latest developments in the computational world are other
topics we would like to introduce in this issue.
It is planned that the Newsletter will be published once in two months,
and our readers will read the hottest news and latest developments in every
issue. We will greatly appreciate the comments and suggestions you will
convey through our questionnaire. All your contribution is welcome since
it will help us in preparing the next issues according to the expectations
of our readers. We are proud to announce the people who contributed to this
