"The service-driven network, as outlined in this project, is destined to improve the quality of the supply chain from manufacturer all the way to the end-user and recycler by simplifying its access to a variety information, communication tools and services. By combining the strengths of key industry partners with a common focus on open standards, we can deliver on a mutual vision of a networked environment where devices seamlessly connect and intelligently communicate to improve the quality of life." - Bill Joy, Chief Scientist, Sun Microsystems Inc., Auto-ID Center Sponsor The MIT Auto-ID Center is governed by a Board of Overseers. When complete, the Board will be made up of 20 diverse sponsors from around the world, representing industries such as consumer goods, retail, pharmaceuticals, food, transportation, etc. A primary function of this Board will be to build consensus between what end-users need and what technology can provide. Auto-ID sponsors have intimate access to our research, both through the Board of Overseers meetings, as well as through the soon to be launched sponsors only web page. This presents sponsors with a window to the future, and therefore the opportunity to influence the development of the architecture: all extremely valuable knowledge capital that can be used to inform strategic plans and research. End user sponsorship requires a $300,000 dollar one time donation, and even more important, passionate involvement with the Center and its work. Constant dialogue with end users is vital to the success of our research. For manufacturers of auto-id technology and related systems, 3 years membership of the vendors' visiting committee requires an upfront donation of $150,000, with reductions for smaller companies and start-ups. Constant interfacing with commercial technical experts is an essential part of our work. In return for all this, we expect far more than a donation. We need all our sponsors to enter into a passionate dialogue with our researchers so that we can learn from them and benefit from their experience in all related areas. In addition to this ongoing contact, sponsors are asked to send representatives, at least one of whom should be a decision maker, to at least three meetings a year.
