2 CDDA Mission Mission of our CDDA Industry/University Consortium IUCRC: Conduct integrative, multi-disciplinary research to analyze and visualize massive, complex, multidimensional and multiscale dynamic data that transform Chaos into Knowledge apply to many industrial sectors: e.g., healthcare, security, search and entertainment.

3 CDDA Mission The Center s goal is to create a partnership between academia, industry to address CDDA relevant and important open problems : Continuously evolve an understanding of the technology needs of the public sector through direct contact with industry professionals and use of field data. Identify basic research themes that have a clear relationship with industry and the needs of the public sector. Educate public sector science and technology decision makers about the emerging importance of Dynamic Data Analytics (DDA) so that the U.S. is able to leverage its intellectual capital to stay competitive and improve the quality of life and security for the U.S. population. Produce highly trained graduate students with advanced coursework in the pertinent technologies and hands-on exposure to DDA systems.

4 What is an NSF I/UCRC? Industry / University Cooperative Research Center Consortium of universities AND industrial partners Conducts relevant research in an emerging field Industry members select the projects Dynamic Data Analytics is a prime candidate NSF covers some university overhead, leaving more $$ for research Tried and True intellectual property agreement and organization NSF provides an external evaluator of progress and relevance Prior Examples: Tele-communications - Quality of Service switching Power management - working on power grid problems Center for Information Protection working on Cyber-security Bioenergy Research and Development renewal energy See for complete list

5 Why an NSF I/UCRC? Industry / University Cooperative Research Center Crossing the Chasm Bridges the divide between university research and products Vehicle for technology transfer Combines university research, corporate leaders, public sector users Particularly Relevant for Healthcare, Computer, Security, Search and Entertainment Broad market needs Federal Funding and Private Funding exists Many New and undeveloped markets that must be explored Member companies can recognize a 37-to-1 return of research dollars (Member-reported average across all I/UCRC s)

6 Broad Scope of R&D Proactive technologies: Healthcare: patient records, multiscale patient monitoring, patient alert systems, assisted living, Computer: Cloud computing, data communication and storage, Security: airport and port security automation, sensor networks, driver safety, Search: efficient and scalable search, search on dynamic data, distributed and multisensor based search, Decision making in multisensor and distributed systems, Entertainment multiscale display of large amounts of data, transmission of data Emergency response: Search, Rescue, Incident command, Medical interventions, Environmental applications, Hazard monitoring, IT. Training and education: integration and reduction of training, distance learning, simulations and interactive training

7 Cross Discipline R&D Computer Science Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, Wireless Networks, Human-Computer Interaction, Power and Energy, Sensor Fusion, Bioinformatics, Biometrics, Security, Computer graphics, Visualization, Machine learning, Logic programming Engineering Computer, Electrical, Industrial, Mechanical, Biomedical, Technology & Society.
