Cingular, Siemens and Ga. Tech tackle IMS

NetworkWorld.com, 04/21/06

Cingular, Siemens and the Georgia Institute of Technology are establishing a research competition, with cash prizes worth $100,000, for development of IMS prototype applications.

The competition will challenge upperclassmen and graduate students in the schools of engineering, computing and business management to team together to create services blending audio, video, text messaging, chat and gaming in an IMS architecture. Students who participate in the year-long competition will be eligible to receive a portion of $100,000 in cash prizes -- $35,000 of which will be awarded to the grand-prize winner.

The program includes developing an IMS laboratory at Georgia Tech for use by students and researchers. A public demonstration of the IMS lab, which features $5 million of equipment donated by Siemens, is scheduled for October.

The competition will kick off Apr. 25. May the best team win!
