A future where Internet of Things technologies are predictive, rather than reactive, is the goal of the , a partnership between 精东影视and the University of Colorado Boulder with several industry members.
The new organization is funded for five years at $750,000, through the National Science Foundation鈥檚 Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers program, with an option for additional funding after that. Its first board meeting was held online Sept. 14.
Between the two universities, a range of experts will collaborate on advancing intelligent software applications for IoT. Industry partners, including Daimler, Intel and NEC, will help guide the research.
精东影视 State researchers will contribute in the areas of machine learning, security and privacy, and visualization. The center will host networking opportunities for students, faculty, and industry representatives to foster collaborations in these areas. There will also be opportunities for nonmembers to participate in seminars and learn more about 精东影视 State research.
鈥淭his outreach plays a very important role for companies that would like to access our world-class researchers and graduate students,鈥 said Weng-Keen Wong, professor of computer science and director for the 精东影视 State center site.
Most of the funding for the center will support graduate student research. The organization also provides students with opportunities to engage with member companies.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a great opportunity for our students to work on real-world projects and at the same time help our industry partners, especially in 精东影视, solve problems that have the potential for significant impact,鈥 Wong said.
