AMARC Update

As some of you know, Tom Suder and I have setup a non-profit called the Advanced Mobility Academic Research Center or AMARC, www.amarcedu.org.

AMARC’s three broad goals are to:

  • Increase the efficiency and optimize the delivery of government services in the US at all levels through the utilization of mobile communications technology
  • Implement such efficiency and optimization through the greater integration of academic research capabilities with government organizations and their corporate partners
  • Emphasize STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) investments, training at academic institutions and the exposure of students interested in STEM to government and academic careers

Over the last few months, we have been reaching out to thought leaders in our three constituent communities: academic, government and corporate, to get advice on where we should focus and to identify individuals who might want to get involved more actively to help us out.

Our initial activities have been to host a series of Government summits, working with MobileGov, www.mobilegovt.com; one on cloud, one on networks and July 9, one on mobile technology. I’ll do a write-up on the July 9th summit next week.

Advanced Mobility Academic Research Center (AMARC) – WebSite Is Up

  • by

One of the two major areas of focus for me these days is AMARC. I am working with Tom Suder, the President of MobileGov on setting AMARC up.

We just finished setting up our webpage, www.amarcedu.org.

We are in the process of creating an Advisory Board consisting of Academic, Government, and Corporate members to provide intellectual direction for AMARC and to provide support for the Summits and Annual conferences where AMARC will be the host organization and/or involved.

If your company is interested in joining, if you need additional information and/or you would like to get involved, please use the “Contact” link on the webpage or contact me directly. I would be glad to meet with/speak to/write about mobile technology issues to help get each of you involved in this very important activity.Advanced Mobility Academic Research Center (AMARC) – WebSite Is Up

I thought it might be useful to talk a little bit about what I am doing.

At this point in my career, my interests revolve around how to improve the provisioning of services and products to the Government on one hand and the ability of Government to make use of these products and services more effectively on the other.
