• The Dean of the Faculty of Computer Science has the overall fiscal responsibility for the Institute.
  • The Advisory Board is staffed by researchers and/or research managers external to Dalhousie, from either academia or industry. Its mandate is to provide strategic guidance to the Institute in terms of its research objectives, and to facilitate outreach to industry and application disciplines. It has 3-5 members that meet twice a year with the Dean and the Director face-to-face or by teleconference. Members are nominated by the Dean, the Director and the Executive Committee, and are appointed by the Dean for a renewable three-year term. The following industry people have agreed to serve on the Scientific Advisory Board:

  • The Director is responsible for the detailed management of the Institute towards its objectives, and reports to the Dean and the Advisory Board. The Director is appointed by the Dean for a renewable five-year term from among the faculty members within Computer Science who are actively involved in the Institute. This review will coincide with the five-year Faculty of Computer Science review process.
  • The Development and Communications Manager is responsible for the day-to-day administrative operations of the Institute. He/she assists the Director and supports the development of new collaborations, proposal writing and the budget of the Institute and the research projects associated with the Institute.

  • The Executive Committee supports the Director in meeting the objectives of the Institute. It consists of 3-5 members who are faculty members at Dalhousie University engaged in research projects with the Institute. Three members are professors of Computer Science, while up to two additional members can be from other Faculties engaged in research projects with the Institute. The Executive Committee meets bi-monthly and is chaired by the Director. The members of the Executive Committee are nominated by the Dean in consultation with the Director (and, for the members from outside Computer Science, in consultation with the Deans of their respective Faculties), for a three-year term.
