Companies are increasingly investing in computer science research to support their strategic goals. This workshop will not only look at what it means to do computing research in an industrial setting, but give examples of important areas (such as Artificial Intelligence) that are currently being prioritized. The key differences of doing research in an industrial setting compared with an academic setting will be discussed and ideas will be shared for how universities might best prepare their students for a career in industrial research.
This workshop will be held at the ACM Federated Computing Research Conference (FCRC) 2023 in Orlando, Florida.
