Consortiums, Collaboratives and Laboratories

Arts, Media and Engineering

At Arizona State University, engineering, arts and science disciplines involved in media research and training have come together to create the Arts, Media and Engineering Program (AME).

The program’s mission is research and education in the integrated development of media systems. AME’s specialized focus is the study and development of experiential media systems. These are defined as systems that integrate computation and digital media with the physical-human experience to produce enhanced physical-digital experiences.

 

 

Consortium for Embedded Systems

The Consortium for Embedded Systems (CES) was established in January 2001 as an Industry/University partnership dedicated to developing a globally recognized center for embedded technologies.

The charter members of CES are Arizona State University, Intel Corporation and Motorola Incorporated, who have been working together to build an eco-system of knowledge and expertise in embedded systems. CES programs have provided direct industry involvement and feedback towards initiating faculty research projects, improved curriculum and laboratories, as well as providing students with access to real-world work experiences while obtaining their degree.

 

Enabling Technologies for Intelligent Information Integration Program

Enabling Technologies for Intelligent Information Integration, or ET-I3, is a collaborative program that addresses the challenge of information integration.

ET-I3 is developing enabling integration technologies for scalable “Do What I Mean” (DWIM) processing for sources and services over the Internet. DWIM-integration involves using the higher-level information goals of the user to decide what sources and services on the available information web are directly or indirectly relevant. After accessing these sources, the system efficiently composes the relevant services to answer requests. Technologies to support DWIM-integration will be critically important for high-profile areas, such as bioinformatics and ebusiness, and useful in other disciplines.

 

 

Fulton High Performance Computing Initiative

The Fulton High Performance Computing Initiative (HPCI) serves as the hub for parallel and grid scientific computing on the Arizona State University (ASU) Tempe campus, maintaining centrally managed high performance computing systems for more than 1,000 processors across campus. The Fulton HPCI provides state of the art machine room facilities, system administration, expertise in parallelization of scientific and engineering codes and training to ASU researchers.

Led by Dr. Dan Stanzione, the mission of the HPCI is to maximize the utility of high-end computing resources deployed by ASU researchers. The HPCI currently collaborates with more than 70 faculty across the engineering disciplines, with industry partners as well as with other ASU Initiatives, including the Decision Theater and the Biodesign Institute.
