  • ISR is an Organized Research Unit as defined by the University of California.

  • The designation of ORU is especially prestigious in that the University of California only grants ORU status to one organization within the UC system in any given area. As such, ISR is the only such organization focused on software research within the University of California system.

  • ISR supports research projects, develops technology, and sponsors technical and professional meetings.

  • ISR is an affiliate of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology - Calit2.

  • ISR co-sponsors UCI's membership in the Human Computer Interaction Consortium (HCIC).

  • The Institute grew out of the Irvine Research Unit in Software (IRUS) For nine years, IRUS served the community through its monthly roundtables and networking meetings, annual symposia, and other events. IRUS officially ceased when the Institute for Software Research was established.
