ISR Research Forums
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.
