IBM Provides
Emerging Technologies To Universities
While we’re on a scholastic note, we
might mention that IBM has just launched a
new program providing students
and faculty at accredited universities around the world with
access to a range of emerging technologies developed in IBM
Research labs -- free of charge. Harvard and MIT will be the
first to participate in this program.
Technologies
offered through this program include tools that
will help developers create applications that are accessible to
the visually impaired, games and simulations to teach Java skills,
and tools to enable Grid computing. In return, faculty and
students will provide IBM with feedback and recommendations on how
to improve these technologies before inclusion in future IBM
products.
The emerging technologies will be
made available through IBM's alphaWorks site http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com
with specific list of the technologies at www.alphaworks.ibm.com/academic.
