As mentioned in my previous post, Carnegie Mellon University has launched a new Mobility Research Center as a new CyLab initiative.
See: http://www.cmu.edu/news/archive/2008/July/july11_mobilityresearch.shtml for details of the announcement.
On July 1, 2008 I hosted a Mobility Research Summit at our Silicon Valley campus in Mountain View to explore the vision, directions and issues to be addressed by the center. This was attended by some 18 representatives of industrial sponsors and potential sponsors. Several exciting research projects are underway, and new project will be started with the arrival of new students in the Fall and Spring. Future general summits and topic workshops and working groups will be held in the Fall.
A summary of the meeting and the presentations can be found at http://mobilityresearchcenter.org. This web site will continue to evolve.
I invite your comments and participation.
