-====== SoCS Lab Renewal Plan ======
+==== SoCS Computing Resource Strategic Plan ====
+== Requirements: ==
+== General requirements for all majors: ==
+The majority of courses offered by the School of Computer science need predictable and conventional computer resources. These resources include:
+  * Compilers and interpreters for programming languages including:
+    * C
+    * Python
+    * Java
+    * Ruby
+    * JavaScript
+    * Perl
+  * Editors
+  * SQL clients
+  * Debugging tools including gdb
+  * Profiling tools including IDEs
+  * Version Control Software such as SVN and git
+While this list covers the requirements of most courses there are a few courses required by all majors that may have special requirements.
+CIS*2030 Structure and Application of Microcomputers
+  * Connection for peripheral boards
+CIS*3110 Operating Systems I
+  * Independent processing time for simulations not suitable for shared computing environments
+== Non Major-Specific Electives: ==
+The following courses are available for all SoCS students and may have special hardware requirements.
+CIS*3090 Parallel Programming
+  * Dedicated shared memory programming environment
+  * Dedicated cluster programming environment (Pilot)
+  * Graphics hardware available for CUDA
+CIS*3190 Software for Legacy Systems
+  * Fortran (gfortran), Cobol (cobc), Ada (gnatmake)
+CIS*3210 Computer Networks
+  * Network analysis tools such as Wireshark
+  * May require dedicated networking infrastructure (switches, routers, access points) in the future
+CIS*4720 Image Processing and Vision
+  * Python with associated libraries: numpy, scipy, SimpleCV, OpenCV, pymorph, matplotlib, scikit-image
+CIS*4800 Computer Graphics and CIS4820 Game Programming
+  * OpenGL (both GL and GLU) and GLUT libraries
+== Bachelor of Computing: ==
+All requirements for courses within the bachelor of computing are covered within general requirements for all majors.
+== Software Engineering: ==
+In addition to resources specified within general requirements for all majors the following resources are needed for most Software Engineering courses:
+  * Diagramming tools including Visio or Omnigraffle
+  * Collaboration tools and project management tools (The web-app Trello is currently used)
+  * Ticketing systems including Redmine and RT.
+== Mobile: ==
+CIS*1XXX Introduction to Mobile Computing
+  * This course will only require resources already specified within general requirements for all majors
+CIS*2XXX Mobile Applications Design
+In addition to general computing requirements, this course will need:
+  * Mobile Devices (iOS and Android)
+  * XCode and iOS SDK
+  * Android SDK
+  * Mobile device emulators
+  * Secure device Storage
+CIS*3XXX Pervasive Systems
+  * This course will require resources similar to those in Mobile Applications Design
+CIS*4XXX Mobile Systems Project Course
+  * This course will require some of the resources required for Mobile Design Applications
+  * Some specialized server infrastructure may be required
+== Game: ==
+In addition to resources specified within general requirements for all majors the following resources will likely be needed:
+  * Advanced graphics hardware
+  * Hardware for CPU intensive simulations which are unsuitable for a shared computing environment
+  * Sound
+  * A Windows environment to support DirectX
+  * Input devices
+  * Consoles (Xbox, Playstation, Wii?)
+  * Secure storage for devices and consoles
