Center for Science of Information: \\
Call for Industrial Partnerships}}

% Outline

\stitle{Center for Science of Information}


\begin{itemize}
\item
Funded as a Science and Technology Center by the {\bf National
Science Foundation}

\item
Participating institutions include {\bf  Bryn Mawr, Howard, MIT,
Princeton, Purdue, Stanford, Berkeley, UC-San Diego, and UIUC.}
\end{itemize}

\stitle{Center for Science of Information: Mission}

\vspace*{2.0in}

{\em The Mission of the Center for Science of Information is to develop
principles and human resources guiding the extraction, manipulation,
and exchange of information, integrating space, time, structure, and
semantics.}



\stitle{Center for Science of Information: Vision and Goals}


\begin{itemize}
\item
The Information Revolution started in 1948, with the publication of
``A Mathematical Theory of Communication''.

\item
In this seminal work, Shannon information quantifies the {\bf extent to
which a	recipient of data can reduce its statistical uncertainty}.
``{\bf semantic aspects of communication are irrelevant} ...'' it was
noted.
\end{itemize}


\stitle{Center for Science of Information: Vision and Goals}

\begin{itemize}
\item
Classical Information Theory needs to be fundamentally redefined
to meet new challenges posed by {\bf large datasets, complex abstractions,
and diverse applications} (modern communication, knowledge engineering,
social and physical sciences, etc.).

\item
We need to extend traditional formalisms for information to include
{\bf structure, time, space, and semantics}.

\item
Various aspects of information, including {\bf dynamical information,
physical information, representation-invariant information, limited
resources, complexity, and cooperation and dependency} must be
explicitly handled.
\end{itemize}


\stitle{Center for Science of Information: Project Team}

\noindent
The project team is composed of 30 coPIs/
Senior Personnel. The team includes

\begin{itemize}
\item
{\bf Eight members of National Academies (NAS/NAE)} -- Cover,
  Lynch, Flajolet, Fung, Rivest, Rivest, Shor, Verdu.

\item
{\bf A Turing award winner} (the highest distinction  in Computer Sciences)
  -- Rivest.

\item
{\bf Two Shannon award winners} (the highest distinction in Information
  Theory) -- Cover and Verdu.

\item
{\bf Two recipients of the Nevanlinna Prize} (awarded every 4 years at
  the International Congress of Mathematicians, for outstanding
  contributions in Mathematical Aspects of
  Information Sciences) -- Sudan and Shor.

\item
{\bf A Humboldt Fellow} -- Szpankowski.
\end{itemize}




\stitle{Industrial Partners Program}


\noindent
Involving industry in fundamental ways in all aspects of research and
development, with a view to:

\begin{itemize}
\item
Defining {\bf research avenues} of particular interest to industry.

\item
{\bf Transition Center research products to industry} in a timely manner.

\item
{\bf IP development}.

\item
Provide mechanisms for {\bf targeted research investment} by industry.

\item
{\bf Personnel exchanges} (scholar in residence from Industrial Labs,
  faculty sabbaticals, etc.).

\item
{\bf Human resource development}.
\end{itemize}



\stitle{Industrial Partners Program}

\noindent
Multi-tiered program:

\begin{itemize}
\item
Corporate Members

\item
Small-Company Members

\item
Government Labs

\item
Non-Profit Organizations
\end{itemize}




\stitle{Corporate Members Benefits}


\begin{itemize}
\item
Attendance at annual research review meetings/retreats to review recent,
not yet published, research results.

\item
Attendance at  NSF-organized annual meetings of all the STC Centers.

\item
Each Corporate Member will have electronic access to copies of all
Consortium publications, including theses and papers appearing in peer
reviewed literature, as they are submitted.

\item
First-hand interaction/ access to the Consortium student/ researcher
pool, a potential source of technical collaborators as well as interns and
future employees.
\end{itemize}




\stitle{Corporate Members Benefits: Research and Intellectual Property}

\begin{itemize}
\item
Corporate Members will have the opportunity to participate
in the discussion and provide advice about proposed research topics
of the Consortium through representation on the Industrial Advisory Board (IAB).

\item
The right to use, by Corporate Member
for its internal research and evaluation, all reports, data, and information
made available by the Consortium, so long as  Confidential Information is
suitably protected.

\item
Early access to intellectual property
developed by the Consortium as a result of the Core Projects.

\item
The opportunity to support Sponsored Projects with the Academic Partner(s)
after mutual agreement.
\end{itemize}


\stitle{Corporate Members: What the Center Brings?}


\begin{itemize}
\item
Access to considerable intellectual resources

\item
Access to well-qualified students and researchers

\item
Access to intellectual property

\item
Shaping the Centers research agenda

\item
Externship and researchers in residence programs

\item
Access to highly qualified and diverse research pool
\end{itemize}


\stitle{Corporate Members: What the Members Bring to the Center?}


\begin{itemize}
\item
Complementary expertise

\item
Infrastructure (operational infrastructure), data (ranging from
life sciences data to traffic traces from network infrastructure), and
perspective.

\item
Avenues for Channeling IP to the Market

\item
Opportunities for Center Personnel.
\end{itemize}
