UC Institute for Software Research

At the end of each academic year, the Institute for Software Research (ISR) invites researchers, industry leaders and technical practitioners to UC Irvine to share the latest software and information technology research developments.

A chief goal of the ISR Research Forum is to foster collaboration in research and technology transfer. To that end, the event provides a central multi-disciplinary environment to:

• Discuss current research areas and technical trends in the field
• Share current ISR research
• Formulate visions for strategic future research and technological directions, and
• Encourage interactions among academia and industry through exchange of ideas and experiences

This event features a mixture of individual research presentations; panels that address current hot topics; joint research presentations with industry; an industry keynote speaker who challenges participants with novel directions; and a reception showcasing research posters and demonstrations.

A regional Software Graduate Student Symposium (GSRS) is held in conjuntion with the ISR Research Forum. GSRS students have the rare opportunity to share and present their research to each other and a wider audience.

GSRS students also participate in the Research Forum poster and demo reception. Industry attendees and other Research Forum participants are thus able to mingle with the best-of-the-best regional students in one place at one time.

Note that the ISR GSRS was previously named ISR Graduate Student Research Forum (GSRF).
