UCB EECS & Academic Director
Shattuck and Center, 13th floor, between BWRC and ICSI, great view!
New model for ind/acad collaboration
• Key challenges ahead in EECS are fundamentally
problems of scale
– require level of investigation and of engineering that is
beyond what is sustainable within the university and beyond
what a company can commit outside product scope
– industry possesses key technology and expertise
– requires insights from many perspectives
• A new lab stucture built around deep research
collaboration and intimate ties to the EECS
department

–
–
–
industry contributes substantial effort of high quality
projects span boundaries
faculty co-direct lab
student / faculty cycles drive the continuous motion
• Operate in uniquely open fashion

Intel Research Network of Lablets Concept
• Network of small labs working closely with top
computer science departments around the world
on deeply collaborative projects.
– currently Berkeley, Washington, CMU
• Complement the corporate labs
– explore off the roadmap, long range, high risk
• Complement the external research council
– drive projects of significant scale and impact
• Expand the channel
– bidirectional transfer of people, ideas, technology

Mission for the Network of Labs
• Bold new form of Industry-University collaboration that
reflects the changing nature of the information age.
• Conduct the highest quality research in emerging,
important areas of CS and IT.
• Join the unique strengths of Universities and the company
in concurrent, collaborative efforts that are both broad in
scope and deeply penetrating in exploration.
• Operate in a uniquely open fashion, promoting a powerful,
bidirectional exchange of groundbreaking ideas,
technology, and people.
• Leadership role in the creation of new research
ecosystems spanning the continuum from academic study
to product development.
• Labs will be project-focused with an active, constantly
evolving agenda involving Intel researchers, University
researchers, and members of the larger research
community

Scale and structure
Active day-to-day involvement
• 15 full-time Intel Researchers and Engineers
• ~5 part-time Intel folks
• 20 faculty, students, visitors, research
consultants
Two-in-a-box co-directors
• University Direction + Intel Director
• Report to David Tennenhouse, VP Research
Project focused
• ~6-year projects starting about every two years

Berkeley Focus
Extreme Interconnected Systems
• Invent, develop, explore, analyze, and understand
highly interconnected systems at the extremes of the
computing and networking spectrum - the very large,
the very small, and the very numerous
• Do leading-edge Computer Science on problems of
scale, cutting across traditional areas of architecture,
operating systems, networks, and languages to
enable a wide range of explorations in ubiquitous
computing, both embedded in the environment or
carried easily on moving objects and people

Areas of Emphasis
• “endonets”
– dense, fine-grain networked systems deeply embedded
in or interacting with physical environment
– sensor networks
– ubiquitous computing architectures
– computational fabrics, surfaces, structures
• “exonets”
