ABSTRACT
Perhaps it is not
considered very fast in the automobile market... but as research labs go, I think
we are doing well. Starting in Jan 2005, we have grown to about 50 people now
and our V6 high horsepower engine firing at high RPM in six different research
areas: Technology for emerging markets, Multilingual Systems, Digital
Geographics, Rigorous Software Engineering, Cryptography, Security, and
Algorithms, and Mobility, Networks and Systems. Not to mention a lively
transmission system called the Advanced Development and Prototyping team that is
actively working closely with many MS product teams on technology transfer and
on prototyping cool innovative ideas. And a jazzy External Research and Program
effort that has all our academic partners excited. It's all muscle, chrome,
and speed!
In this talk I will
give an update of the activities in the lab and tell you about our experience in
the last two years in India. Some stories, much information, and many pictures...
It has been a fun, fast ride and I would like to tell you about
it!
