Hitachi Communication Technologies America, Inc. (Hitachi CTA)
today announced that Hitachi is a sponsor of the Georgia Institute
of Technology’s 2011-2012 Convergence Innovation Competition (CIC).
The CIC is a highly successful program for companies seeking
short-term innovation results.
The CIC, now in its sixth year, features Georgia Tech students
of all majors and levels of study. After forming teams and
developing a viable business case, the students build commercially
viable end-to-end prototypes and present live demos of
applications, devices, media or services. Industry partners such as
Hitachi provide guidance throughout the process. At the end of the
semester, a panel of judges from academia and industry review the
presentations and rank the best in each category. The 2011-12 CIC
announced categories include mobile augmented reality,
machine-to-machine, societal impact, health IT and campus
community.
“Our students benefit from working on these projects with a
global technology company such as Hitachi,” said Russ Clark, PhD,
associate director of the Georgia Tech Research Network Operations
Center (GT-RNOC) and research scientist in Georgia Tech’s College
of Computing. “The real-world focus on providing compelling
end-user benefits while designing for the efficient development and
deployment of applications and services is critical to preparing
the students for contribution to business and society going
forward.”
“Hitachi is proud to sponsor the Convergence Innovation
Competition again this year,” said David Foote, Hitachi Chief
Technology Officer. “Last year’s competition was very successful,
and resulting in multiple highly creative and commercially viable
applications. This year, Hitachi is supporting multiple categories
with an emphasis on ease of deployment and ROI potential for
applications developers and service providers.”
In addition to sponsoring the competition, Hitachi is providing
Georgia Tech a full suite of the Hitachi SuperJTM Applications
Environment middleware product, an ecosystem for the OSGiTM Service
Platform, along with support and consultation for students as they
progress through the program. For more information on the OSGi
Service Platform, please visit www.osgi.org.
The CIC is a joint production of the GT-RNOC and the Institute
for People and Technology (IPaT). The RNOC staff, along with
industry partners and leading researchers, facilitates the guidance
of student teams. For successful development, RNOC provides
top-notch technical support with their expansive array of
infrastructure and platforms. The IPaT partnership extends
opportunities to encompass new competition categories and student
engagement in the areas of healthcare, media, humanitarian systems
and other complex human enterprises.
