I didn't know that PARC was doing joint research with Fujitsu in ubiquitous computing, from this press release in 2004. Specifically, the joint research with PARC involves the following (from the press release):
Fujitsu and PARC plan to focus on the following research areas, with product results appearing as early as 2006. These topics reflect the partners' shared vision and are expected to expand.
* Simpler and more secure wireless networking
* Obje™ software architecture for interoperability
* Ad-hoc sensor network technology
* Technologies to protect privacy and simplify security
* Advanced information visualization technologies
This is great to hear and shows the value that PARC can provide to the greater community, which heeds back to the roots of PARC in the early days. Fujitsu also has collaboration with Xerox with FXPAL, which apparently is down the street from PARC and I'll have a chance to visit during the intern social events. More details about the PARC-Fujitsu collaboration in ubicomp is in this journal article.
