0332596BrownThis award is to the City University of New York to support the activity described below for 24 months. The proposal was submitted in response to the Partnerships for Innovation Program Solicitation (NSF-03521).PartnersThe partners include the City University of New York (Lead Institution), and the New York Software Industry Association (NYSIA). The NYSIA has a large number of small companies in the information technology industry.The mission of this proposal is to spur the development and commercialization of advanced software technologies and software engineering methods in the NYC economic region. The focus will be on three aspects of the software industry: 1) security, 2) imaging and visualization and 3) software development and system design. To accomplish this, the City University of New York (CUNY) faculty will be paired with software industry professionals from the New York Software Industry Association (NYSIA) to develop and promote the research and development of new technologies, provide specialized development courses, create job opportunities and build upon CUNY's reputation. The group is a university wide consortium and thus can reach all the colleges and the 200 faculty members specializing in computer science. The expectation is that the industry groups will convey to the university the commercial needs and uses for software while the university will convey the technologies available and innovative approaches to design through appropriate pairing of participants. Technical assistance will be provided for small companies through joint university / industrial partnership teams involving experts in business development and marketing people. The expected outcome is to work with at least 50 companies, to get to know 30 well, and to work intensively with 15 of them.Potential Economic ImpactThe proposal provides a unique outreach approach with an industry association, a more standardized approach with seminars and workshops around industry needs, and an approach of developing joint projects with industry. The project will help to provide industry access to software expertise at CUNY campuses, a potential for students to learn how to work with software companies, and allows important work with smaller software companies. The development of the software industry by providing software help in research and development for small companies that cannot afford to fund research at the universities or to hire people as skilled as students and faculty for development are the major benefits to NY and NYSIA. The intellectual merit of the activity lies in the creation, transfer and application of information technologies and novel education and training of the technologically literate workforce through collaboration of the City University of New York with the regional companies. The project will help to provide industry access to software expertise at CUNY campuses, a potential for students to learn how to work with software companies, especially with smaller software companies. The development of the software industry by providing software help in research and development for small companies that cannot afford to fund research at the universities or to hire people as skilled as students and faculty for development will have a significant economic impact in New York.This proposal is excellent in terms of Broader Impacts. This project is expected to have significant impact on expanding participation to underserved populations and among campuses that could then develop stronger industry relations. There was a good balance between broad involvement and focused implementation on selected high-success probability participants. The City University of New York has a long history of providing educational opportunities to minorities, poorer City young people who cannot afford private school educations. Of the nearly 20 colleges and universities within the system, fourteen the colleges are officially considered minority institutions

0332596布朗奖是给纽约城市大学的，以支持下面描述的活动24个月。 该提案是应“创新计划伙伴关系征集”（NSF-03521）提交的。伙伴伙伴包括纽约城市大学（牵头机构）和纽约软件行业协会（NYSIA）。NYSIA在信息技术产业中有大量的小公司，本提案的使命是促进纽约经济区先进软件技术和软件工程方法的开发和商业化。重点将放在软件行业的三个方面：1）安全性，2）成像和可视化以及3）软件开发和系统设计。为了实现这一目标，纽约城市大学（CUNY）的教师将与纽约软件行业协会（NYSIA）的软件行业专业人士配对，开发和促进新技术的研究和开发，提供专业的开发课程，创造就业机会并建立纽约城市大学的声誉。该集团是一个大学范围的财团，因此可以达到所有学院和200名教师专门从事计算机科学。预计工业团体将向大学传达软件的商业需求和用途，而大学将通过参与者的适当配对传达现有的技术和创新的设计方法。将通过由商业发展专家和营销人员组成的大学/工业伙伴关系联合小组向小公司提供技术援助。预期成果是与至少50家公司合作，熟悉30家公司，并与其中15家公司深入合作。潜在经济影响提案提供了与行业协会的独特外联方法，围绕行业需求举办研讨会和讲习班的更标准化方法，以及与行业开发联合项目的方法。该项目将有助于在纽约市立大学校园提供软件专业知识的行业访问，学生有可能学习如何与软件公司合作，并允许与较小的软件公司进行重要的工作。通过为那些无力资助大学研究或聘请像学生和教师这样有技能的人进行开发的小公司提供软件帮助来发展软件行业，是纽约和纽约新航的主要利益。这项活动的智力价值在于通过纽约与区域公司的合作，创造、转让和应用信息技术，并对掌握技术的劳动力进行新的教育和培训。该项目将有助于在纽约市立大学校园提供软件专业知识，学生有可能学习如何与软件公司合作，特别是与较小的软件公司合作。通过为那些无力资助大学研究或雇用像学生和教师这样有技能的人进行开发的小公司提供软件帮助来发展软件业，将对纽约产生重大的经济影响。 该项目预计将对扩大参与到服务不足的人群和校园之间产生重大影响，从而可以发展更强大的行业关系。在广泛参与和重点实施选定的高成功概率参与者之间取得了良好的平衡。纽约有着为少数族裔提供教育机会的悠久历史，这些人是负担不起私立学校教育的城市贫困青年。在该系统内的近20所学院和大学中，有14所学院被官方认为是少数民族机构
