The center seeks to establish a new Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) in order to conduct research to improve configuration analytics and automation capabilities in order to enable their integration for efficient, accurate and timely operations, management and defense of complex networked information technology (IT) systems and environments. By addressing the challenges of configuration analytics and automation, the center intends to improve enterprise IT system and service manageability, performance, assurability, security and sustainability. The effort plans to apply innovative analytics and automation to complex networked systems including: enterprise networking of clouds and data centers, software defined networking, hybrid and cyber-physical systems, smart critical infrastructures, mission-oriented networks (sensor-actuator networks), virtual overlays, social networks and mobile systems. Future system complexity and the potential of misconfiguration is likelyto increase significantly as technology progresses toward "smart" cyber infrastructure and ?open? configurable platforms making configuration analytics and automation essential for realizing continued productivity and competitiveness improvements from the cyber-economy. Working with its Industrial Advisory Board, the center plans to have a significant impact in this area and provide a source of talented graduates to industry. The center plans to have a strong educational component that includes training undergraduate and graduate students in this area, creating a new multidisciplinary certificate on Configuration Analytics at UNCC, and involving minority and under-represented students through courses, seminars, workshops and research projects.

该中心旨在建立一个新的行业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC），以进行研究以提高配置分析和自动化功能，以便能够集成，以便有效，准确，及时的运营，管理和防御复杂的网络信息技术（IT）系统和环境。通过应对配置分析和自动化的挑战，该中心打算改善企业IT系统和服务可管理性，性能，可保证，安全性和可持续性。 该努力计划将创新分析和自动化应用于复杂的网络系统，包括：云和数据中心的企业网络，软件定义的网络，混合和网络物理系统，智能关键关键基础架构，以任务为导向的网络（传感器实施者网络），虚拟叠加叠加层，社交网络和移动系统。 随着技术朝着“智能”的网络基础设施发展和开放，未来的系统复杂性和错误配置的潜力可能会大大增加？可配置的平台制作配置分析和自动化，对于实现网络经济的持续生产力和竞争力提高至关重要。 该中心与其工业顾问委员会合作，计划对该领域产生重大影响，并为行业提供才华横溢的毕业生。该中心计划拥有一个强大的教育组成部分，其中包括该领域的培训本科生和研究生，在UNCC上创建了新的关于配置分析的多学科证书，并通过课程，研讨会，工作室和研究项目涉及少数群体和代表性不足的学生。
