Advanced Digital Sciences Center established
The Urbana campus and Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research,
or A*STAR, are collaborating to establish a major research center in Singapore. A*STAR,
which oversees 22 research institutes, consortia and centers, will provide $50 million
of renewable funding for the Advanced Digital Sciences Center (ADSC) over the next five years.
ADSC will focus on breakthrough innovations in information technology that are expected
to have a major impact in transforming human utilization of information technology.
The signature initiative will be the Human Sixth Sense Project that will develop information
technology infrastructure and human-machine interfaces to help people interact naturally
with the digital world.
