Rethinking Network Computing and Communications across Urban Environments.
The International Technology Alliance (ITA), led by IBM, consists of top researchers in industry, academia, and government whose goal is to rethink network computing and communications across urban environments.
While capabilities grow every day and the price of hardware continually drops with new technology, the fact remains that there are no well-established standards for sensor network nodes or data produced by them. The ITA consortium will receive approximately $138 million, from the US Army Research Laboratory and the UK’s Ministry of Defence. The program is unprecedented in terms of its geographic scope, its length of 10 years, and the depth of its industry-academia collaborations.
Furthermore, the alliance is willing to discuss undergraduate projects for those who would like to try their hand in this type of research.
