Title:

Innovate Embedded Computing through Collaboration

Abstract:

I will introduce the Intel Science and Technology Center on Embedded Computing (ISTC-EC) hosted at Carnegie Mellon. The vision for the ISTC-EC is to conduct long-term research aimed at advancing embedded compute to deliver breakthrough innovations in system architecture, algorithms, and usage models. The innovations in algorithms and systems to enable next-generation, connected embedded computing platforms are motivated and demonstrated using three key application domains (retail, automotive, and home). By building a community that includes the top minds in the field, and providing the funding and collaborative environment needed to accelerate their research, we hope to deliver technology that can enable useful, exciting, and personalized experiences to the consumers and business owners in the connected environments of the future. I will give an overview of our research portfolio, and deep-dive into a few projects of interest.
