  1. NSF IDM PI WorkshopResearch From An Industry Perspective Raghu Ramakrishnan UW-Madison (and QUIQ … IBM/Microsoft/Virage)

  2. Research Spectrum Very small Small Big INDUSTRIAL ACADEMIC Grant Contract

  3. Research Climate:Academia • Where do I find interesting problems? • Make them up • Solve someone else’s (Collaboration!) • Joint projects with industry • Where do I find money to solve them? • If you find out, let me know • How do I find students to solve it for me? • By becoming famous, writing a lot of papers (and having money)

  4. Research Climate: Big Company • Where do I find interesting problems? • The product groups in the company • Customers • Where do I find money to solve them? • My manager • Product groups • Customers • How do I get to hire more people? • By making those with money happy

  5. Comments • Shift in financial conditions is forcing shorter horizons for research, and increasing demand for near-term returns • Product groups vs. research groups dynamics • Continued interest in working with academia, but less money to support academic partners

  6. Current Areas of Interest • Manageability, diagnostics, tuning • On-demand computing (“grids”, clusters) • XML • Text • Analytics • Data cleaning, integration • Security, privacy • Applications (bio, streams)

  7. Research Climate: Medium Company • Where do I find interesting problems? • You don’t find them. You solve problems you have to, and focus on building a product. • Where do I find money to solve them? • By selling your product • How do I get to hire more people? • By building and selling a product

  8. Comments • Hard to find ways to collaborate with this category of company • But don’t let that stop you from trying—I’m just sharing one perspective, and your experience may be different

  9. Research Climate:Very Small Company • Where do I find interesting problems? • Refining your company’s core IP • Reading a BAA • Where do I find money to solve them? • Federal contracts, SBIR grants • How do I get to hire more people? • No, you try to pay the people you already have.

  10. Comments • Collaboration is typically by invitation—insiders drive the work, and call on people they know to fill in gaps • Send Chrismas cards to all your friends who just started a small company

  11. NSF IDM WorkshopScience of Design for Information SystemsSDIS 2003 Phil Bernstein Alon Halevy Raghu Ramakrishnan

  12. Workshop Goal • Identify research challenges in design of information systems • Unique opportunities, motivating scenarios • Identify disciplines and groups that must work together to solve these challenges • Across academia and industry • Recommend NSF activities to support SDIS • What types of activities, grants?

  13. People • A: Design and Data Integration • Bernstein, Borgida, Florescu, Gasser, Halevy • B: Design for Dynamic Data Environments • Chaudhuri, Franklin, Ramakrishnan, Tsotras, Widom, Yuan • C: Design and Data Location • Ghandaharizadeh, Jagadish, Korth, Srivastava, Wolfson • D: Designing around complex relationships, processes • Carey, Chrysanthis, Dayal, Su, Thatte • E: Designing for Security and Privacy • Clifton, Gehrke, Rosenthal, Sripada, Suciu, Winslett • At large • Maria Zemankova, Bhavani Thuraisingham
