Dartmouth Digital Dorm          

Опубликовано 6 сентября 2016, 5:12

A new project at Dartmouth College is being developed to take advantage of its unique position as a living lab for advances in mobile computing. Later this year, Dartmouth College will build two large new residential facilities across the street from the Department of Computer Science. We plan to deeply integrate information technology into these dorms, well beyond the wired and wireless network infrastructure common in today's dorms. Although the ultimate goal is to enhance the academic and social life of the residents, the Dartmouth Digital Dorm is a perfect research platform for students, faculty, and industry leaders to create and study a wide variety of devices, applications, and services that utilize a pervasive wireless and wired network in a residential setting. It will also be designed to provide rapid and reliable feedback to corporate partners who depend on innovation for market leadership. Martin Redmond, Dean of Residential Life, and David Kotz '86, Professor of Computer Science, will lead a presentation about this initiative.
