GREATER UTILITY (CENTER SIZE)
– Issue: enable strategic projects CENTER should be large enough to promote high-level participation in advisory board from stakeholders (e.g., industry) and undertake strategic research projects
Sufficient size (scope and -me)
to enable strategic projects

CROSS CUTTING
– Why cross-cutting? Need Sufficient expertise for the research
– Example: Focused research topic • Single university: maybe one top faculty in area • Multiple universities needed to build expertise
– Example: Broad thrust area research • different research areas are needed (human
factors, data, fluids, etc.) • Cross-cutting could be different universities
and/or different companies
11
CROSS CUTTING INDUSTRIES
– Example: DATA is important to, e.g., • Safety of assured autonomy • Security of cloud-based computation/storage • Performance Optimization
– Strengths in different industry sectors – e.g., in the Pacific Northwest
• IT (Microsoft, Intel, Amazon, others) • Aerospace (Usage: Boeing, Blue-Origin, Insitu)

OTHER Industry
CENTER: ACROSS INDUSTRIES
U-‐led CENTER COULD BRING SUCH DIVERSE INDUSTRIES TOGETHER (solve common problems, e.g., assured autonomy)
