On the 10th anniversary of Research at Intel. Intel Corporation chief technology
officer Justin Rattner unveiled a “Facets of Future Life” showcase that featured more
than 20 innovative research projects underway that will help transform the future
of technology and announced the seventh Intel Science Technology Center (ISTC) focused
on social computing and Intel’s first university collaboration to focus specifically
on user experience design. Intel’s ISTC -Social is hosted at University of California,
Irvine, and includes partnerships with research groups at Cornell, Georgia Tech, Indiana
University and NYU. The center represents the next $15 million installment that completes
Intel's initial 5-year, $100 million ISTC program, first announced in January 2011.
As with the other six ISTCs -- covering big data, cloud computing, embedded computing,
visual computing, secure computing and pervasive computing -- the new social computing
center is designed to foster tighter collaboration between Intel and academia. The
center aims to create a new paradigm for computing and productive new research by
a community of social scientists and technologists.
