Technology Invention in a Social Context : Quality of Life Impact Energy Efficiency Transportation Planning Monitoring Health Care
Education Land and Environment Disaster Response Technology Invention in a Social Context : Quality of Life Impact
New Distributed System Architectures Scalable, Utility, Diverse Access Societal-Scale Applications CITRIS Scientific Vision Societal-Scale Applications Beyond desktop Huge scale Can’t fail Technological Breakthroughs Always connected Distributed intelligence Smart displays, cameras, sensors Applications Pull Technology Push
Societal-Scale Systems “Client” “Server” Clusters Massive Cluster Gigabit Ethernet New System Architectures New Enabled Applications Diverse, Connected, Physical, Virtual, Fluid MEMS BioMonitoring Scalable, Reliable, Secure Services Information Appliances
Societal-Scale Information System (SIS) Information Utility – – Planetary-scale/non-stop; secure, reliable, high- performance access, even when overloaded, down, disconnected, under repair, under attack Smart System – – Learns usage/adapts functions & interfaces Managing Diversity – – Component plug-and-play; integrate sensors / actuators, hand-held appliances, workstations, building-sized cluster supercomputers Always Connected – – Short-range wireless nets to high-bandwidth, high- latency long-haul optical backbones
Industrial Support “I believe we are now entering the Renaissance phase of the Information Age, where creativity and ideas are the new currency, and invention is a primary virtue, where technology truly has the power to transform lives, not just businesses, where technology can help us solve fundamental problems.” Carly Fiorina, CEO, Hewlett Packard Corporation Founding Corporate Members of CITRIS
CITRIS Principles for Investigators and Sponsors Bottom-up Institute: portfolio of evolving multi-investigator, inter-disciplinary, and/or intercampus Collaborative Research Projects: Core and Affiliated Faculty affiliation through CITRIS CRPs Subsidized access to research infrastructure & opportunity “seed” funds Industrial sponsors, in consultation with Director, direct funding to specific projects Industrial sponsors retain relationships with faculty investigators and project teams Open intellectual property framework
CITRIS Benefits and Obligations Increasing the Pie Larger-Scale, Higher Impact Research Increasing the Competitive Edge Subsidized Access Space Resources Incentives for Research & Collaboration Better Public Relations Better Admin Support True Engagement Commitment to Teamwork Commitment to Excellence Acknowledging CITRIS Achieving the State Match
