than 20 active industry projects with 15 faculty and more than 20
graduate and undergraduate students involved in these projects. One
of our completed projects – a joint effort with FIU and the University
of Maryland and sponsored by NSF, titled “Distributed Cloud
Computing Study: 3-D Visualization Services for Climate Data
on Demand,” – has been selected by NSF to be included in
their recently published Compendium on “Industry-Nominated
Technology Breakthroughs of NSF Industry/University Cooperative
Research Centers”.
Several completed projects and relating results, products, and
systems are now commercialized and being applied by local
companies including Pronto Progress, Relli Technologies, Adventure
Technologies, and Avocent.
This booklet presents the mission and research agenda of the
Center, its organization, and memberships. It also introduces our
industry partners, who are members of the Center, and the FAU
faculty members involved in the research projects as well as a
brief description of the applied research projects conducted by
the Center.
