InterDigital's Innovation Partners Enters Into Research Agreement With Germany's IfU
16 December 2014 - 12:30AM
InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDCC), a mobile technology research and
development company, today announced that its Innovation Partners
unit has entered into a development agreement with the Institute
for Management Cybernetics (IfU) in Aachen, Germany, an associated
research institute of RWTH Aachen University.
RWTH Aachen is the largest technical university in Germany, with
strong links to various industry partners. The research agreement
is largely focused on the Internet of Things (IoT), distributed
systems, and smart city technologies and solutions. The research
will be led by Dr. Max Haberstroh and overseen by Dr. Sabina
Jeschke, director of the Institute Cluster IMA/ZLW & IfU. Dr.
Jeschke's research investigates models of distributed artificial
intelligence in cyber physical systems, heterogeneous robotics, and
Big Data technology.
"Access, analysis, and communication sit at the crossroads of
next generation Big Data, crowd-sourced data, and emerging
cyber-physical industry initiatives. The IfU team shares our
vision, and is an exceptional partner in our efforts to develop
intelligent technologies that can enable new services and business
creation for both the public and private sectors," said Serhad
Doken, Vice President, Partner Development at InterDigital and head
of Innovation Partners.
"We are facing the genesis of a new type of intelligence based
on plurality, heterogeneity and spatial distribution of its
subcomponents – the intelligence of a distributed system. Accessing
the knowledge of these systems allows for new ways to understand
the environment and its changes. It enables intelligent and
resource-conserving control models, and leads to new services and
products. With InterDigital, we found a partner who is really
driven to 'make a change,'" said Dr. Jeschke.
Innovation Partners is InterDigital's technology sourcing
initiative based on partnerships with leading technology firms,
inventors, universities and research organizations worldwide.
Innovation Partners recognizes the importance of external research
partnerships to capitalize on opportunities to expand the company's
research and development efforts in response to the evolution of
the mobile industry.
