UC Institute for Software Research

The Institute for Software Research (ISR) regularly holds a Research Forum to bring researchers, industry leaders and technical practitioners to UC Irvine to share the latest software and information technology research developments.

A chief goal of the ISR Research Forum is to foster collaboration in research and technology transfer. To that end, the event provides a central multi-disciplinary environment to:

• Discuss current research areas and technical trends in the field
• Share current ISR research
• Formulate visions for strategic future research and technological directions, and
• Encourage interactions among academia and industry through exchange of ideas and experiences

The program format varies from year to year, typically featuring a mixture of: faculty research presentations; panels that address current hot topics; a keynote speaker who challenges participants with novel directions; an Open House; and research posters and demonstrations.

For several years, a regional Software Graduate Student Symposium (GSRS) was held in conjuntion with the ISR Research Forum. GSRS students had a unique opportunity to share and present their research to each other and a wider audience. GSRS students also participated in the Research Forum poster and demo reception. Industry attendees and other Research Forum participants were thus able to mingle with the best-of-the-best regional students in one place at one time. Note that the ISR GSRS was previously named ISR Graduate Student Research Forum (GSRF).
