Welcome!

The ISR Research Forum brings together researchers, leaders in industry, and technical practitioners in a multi-disciplinary environment to: discuss current research areas and technical trends in the fields of software development and interactive collaborative technologies; showcase current ISR research; formulate visions on strategic future research and technological directions; and encourage interaction among academia and industry through exchange of ideas and sharing of experiences.

A major goal is to encourage collaborative research and technology transition.

This year we showcase joint industry/ISR relationships focusing on software architecture (Boeing), gaming (Discovery Science Center), and privacy and security (Intel).

Thomas W. Malone, Patrick J. McGovern Professor of Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management, will deliver the keynote address titled "The Future of Work and Processes".

As in prior years, the evening will close with a reception featuring research posters and demonstrations - always a big hit!

NEW! A highlight this year is a "Graduate Student Research Forum" for software/information technology students - which is being organized by a committee of our graduate students. The symposium builds on the success of the "Students Only" session from the 2004 Forum. Want to participate or find out more? Click here.
