Benefits of Sponsorship • Involvement with outstanding Berkeley graduate students • Participation in portfolio of large-scale, inter-disciplinary, pre-competitive research efforts with only modest investment • Access to all ISRG-developed software, prototypes, simulation tools, and testbeds • Early access to group’s research results through on-campus participation and retreats • Support the expansion of cadre of researchers with expertise in Internet-scale systems
Intellectual Property Issues • All ISRG results placed in the public domain • Widely disseminated and distributed for educational and research purposes • Research reports, Web site • Sponsors can receive non-exclusive, no-fee licenses for commercialization • Only sponsors participate in twice yearly retreats • First ISRG Retreat: 11-13 January 1999Sunday, 10 January 1999: Demo Day @ Berkeley • To encourage an open research environment, ISRG researchers prefer not to sign non-disclosure agreements
