Through technology transfer, commercialization of innovations produced in the labs, and joint research and development partnerships with industry, this initiative is helping to create the high-wage information technology opportunities needed to retain our highly trained Indiana graduates and to attract new scientific talent to the State.

Pervasive Technology Institute is leveraging what has clearly emerged as one of the major macro-phenomena in information technology. Pervasive computing envisions a time when the relentless decrease in the price of microprocessors, coupled with the equally relentless increase in their power, allows microprocessors to become seamlessly integrated into every aspect of our day-to-day lives. This, coupled with advances in mobile, high-performance, and converged networks that link these microprocessors, is bringing about a world in which computing, telecommunications, and information are truly pervasive.
