The Sensor, Signal and Information Processing center and consortium — known as SenSIP — at Arizona State University in Tempe has earned Industry/University Collaborative Research Center designation from National Science Foundation (NSF). SenSIP also formed a partnership with a similar consortium of four leading Texas research universities.
SenSIP’s work involves research on technologies used in digital signal processing systems, data mining, wireless communications, information networks and multimedia systems. The group combines 13 ASU engineering faculty members from ASU’s engineering school with counterparts in companies such as Intel, Lockheed Martin, National Instruments, Raytheon Missile Systems, and Acoustic Technologies.
SenSip has formed a partnership with NetCentric, a similar consortium that specializes in computer science and software solutions for secure information and communications networks. Net Centric is made up of faculty at the University of North Texas, Southern Methodist University, the University of Texas-Dallas and the University of Texas-Arlington. Its industry members include Hewlett-Packard, Texas Instruments, Boeing, Cisco Systems, T-Systems, Codekko and GlobeRanger, among others.
In the partnership, SenSIP and NetCentric plan to combine their expertise to compete on major research projects. NSF will provide SenSIP $300,000 in the next five years, while the consortium will need to raise at least $750,000 from industry partners to expand its work.
