Why Affiliate?

Institute affiliation is open to members from industry and government agencies. Affiliation benefits include early access to research innovations, twice-yearly meetings on a university campus, opportunities to interact with faculty, students, and industry peers. Other highlights include:

Access to students trained in industry and government relevant research challenges
Small overheads make industry contributions go further
Industry members sit on Industrial Advisory Board so have a voice in research direction and long-term strategy

DSI was formed in early 2007 after receiving the distinctive NSF I/UCRC planning grant award. The NSF I/UCRC program funds unique centers of expertise in computer science and engineering. The centers all follow a similar business model so affiliates can benefit from the expertise in other centers as appropriate.

For information on DSI meetings and directions visit the meetings page.

Please contact DSI Director, Dr. Beth Plale at (812) 855-4373 for more information.

The industry affilates program associated with DSI is under the direction of Dennis Gannon at IU.
