UC Institute for Software Research

From 2002-2009, the Institute for Software Research (ISR) held a Research Forum to bring 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 was 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 featured a mixture of individual research presentations; panels that address current hot topics; joint research presentations with industry; an industry keynote speaker who challenged participants with novel directions; and a reception showcasing research posters and demonstrations.

For several years, a regional Software Graduate Student Symposium (GSRS) was held in conjuntion with the ISR Research Forum. GSRS students had a unique opportunity to share and present their research to each other and a wider audience.

GSRS students also participated in the Research Forum poster and demo reception. Industry attendees and other Research Forum participants were 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).
