A
University of Arizona
Management Information Systems
Cash and equipment to develop B2B E-Commerce agents using
HP’s e-speak software framework in a wireless environment;
and to create e-speak courseware.
C
University of California at Irvine
Information and Computer Science
Cash and equipment for the development of middleware for wide-area
information infrastructures. By its very nature, global information
systems consist of asynchronous, autonomous components that
are open and distributed. This research plan proposes an agent-based
customizable middleware framework to manage resources in open
distributed systems. UC Irvine will develop Active E-speak,
an extension of the basic E-speak core to support active objects.
An educational plan to integrate E-speak into an instructional
curriculum is also proposed.
University of California at Los Angeles
Computer Science
Cash and equipment to investigate automated planning for mobile
wireless computing in the e-speak system. UCLA will use e-speak
augmented with the resulting capabilities in support of several
graduate classes in the UCLA CS department. They will leverage
the existing HP-supported wireless laboratory for this purpose,
augmented with some hardware earmarked for this project. Existing
research on planning in active networks should provide a quick
starting point for adding such capabilities to e-speak. The
courses supported will include graduate courses on networking,
operating systems, distributed systems, and security. E-speak
will be used an example system in these courses, and will
be used as the basis for student projects.
Carnegia Mellon University
Heinz School of Public Policy and Management
Carnegie Mellon proposes to utilize resources provided by
Hewlett Packard under the e-services initiative to incorporate
HP e-services hardware and software into the research and
teaching of faculty and students in the Master of Information
Systems Management (MISM) program. MISM is a multidisciplinary
program delivered by faculty from the School of Computer Science,
the H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management,
the Software Engineering Institute, the Human Computer Interaction
Institute and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.
This program integrates technical depth with training in organizational
and technology management and strategy. The MISM program offers
specializations in electronic commerce, strategic information
processing, information security management and medical informatics.
I
University of Illinois at Chicago
Information and Decision Sciences
The objectives of the proposed research are: 1) to develop
innovative pedagogical environment for education, especially
for electronic commerce and information technology fields;
2) to develop effective and/or innovative business models
for various types of e-service businesses using a realistic
electronic commerce environment, DigitalWorld. This technology
infrastructure will explore three major issues on electronic
commerce: 1) the efficiency of intermediary medium or certification
where the quality a product is uncertain, 2) impacts of real-time
information sharing in various auction institutions and 3)
effective information dissemination over WAP-enabled devices.
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Electrical & Computer Engineering
This interdisciplinary effort proposes to deploy, study, and
extend HP e-speak as a software platform for e-service applications.
This grant will allow the development of applications via
the inter-linking of e-speak services, incorporating QoS technology
support, and extending both mobile devices and server infrastructures
to more fully support e-speak. In conjunction, they will study
the business models and social dynamics of e-services.
M
Morgan State University
Information Science and Systems
Morgan State proposes a major new curricular direction
by focusing on new computing and business paradigms. Object
orientation, Java, distributed environments, mobile technology,
and utility-based computing will be introduced through a phased
plan. HP's e-speak platform will be used as a common engine
for e-services. Four of the department's faculty would receive
training in early summer 2000 and by the end of summer they
would develop the necessary courses. A survey course would
be offered in the fall 2000 that would lay out the vision,
goals, and objectives.
P
University of Pittsburgh
Information Science and Telecommunications
Students with technology skills and business acumen are in
high demand and the need for these students will continue
to increase over the years to come. The University of Pittsburgh
will develop an environment, based on Hewlett-Packard's e-speak,
where students can study and experiment with programming and
network technology basics along with marketing and other business.
The project will involve the Katz Graduate School of Business,
Information Science and Telecommunications, and Computer Science.
Purdue University - West Lafayette
Computer Sciences
HP equipment and e-speak will be used to address some of the
fundamental issues facing the deployment of e-services. The
e-speak open architecture and strong backing from HP provides
a strong impetus for it to be tomorrow's standard for e-services
deployment over the Web. The main goal of this project is
to enhance the fundamental understanding of how to efficiently
and effectively share and create Web-accessible e-services.
V
Virginia Polytechnic Institute
Computer Science
Virginia Tech is working with Purdue (see above.)
W
University of Wisconsin at Madison
College of Engineering
This multidisciplinary proposal focuses on research and knowledge
dissemination regarding e-speak and e-services technologies,
strategies and applications. Wisconsin will address issues
along three fronts: (1) quality of service issues in the delivery
of voice, video, and data information to mobile users using
e-services; (2) supporting new product development with e-services
and actualizing organizational memory with e-speak infrastructure;
(3) e-speak based e-marketplaces and cascading auctions for
custom products and services. The proposed research and education
plan will highly leverage the ongoing e-commerce related activities
at UW-Madison.
University of West Virginia
Computer Science and Electrical Engineering
West Virginia will utilize HP’s e-speak technology both
in the classroom and in the research laboratory. They plan
to modify the curriculum of two graduate-level computer science
courses to incorporate training and student projects based
on e-speak. The grant will allow the utilization of e-speak
to implement solutions in three problem domains in which net-based
collaborative systems will be very useful: Education, Healthcare
and Legal Services.
