The University of Massachusetts was awarded a $600,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Computer and Network Systems. The grant falls under the official federal Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) and will fund research related to "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: CNS CORE: MEDIUM: MIVIRTUALSEAT: SEMANTICS-AWARE CONTENT DISTRIBUTION FOR IMMERSIVE MEETING ENVIRONMENTS" from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024.
Specifically, the University of Massachusetts will leverage the funding to research and develop semantics-aware content distribution technologies to enhance immersive virtual meeting environments.
