Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation
<body> (MCC) One of the first, and now one of the largest, US computer
industry research and development consortia.
Founded in late 1982 by major computer and semiconductor manufacturers, MCC's
membership has diversified to include a broad range of high-profile corporations
from electronics, computers, aerospace, semiconductors, and related industries,
reflecting the full range of companies vital to the life cycle of Information
Technology products. Active involvement of small- and medium-sized firms and
technology users, along with well-established alliances with government research
and development agencies and leading universities, allows MCC's partners to
maximise the benefit of scarce research and development resources.
Some of the technical areas in which MCC has distinguished itself are:
System Architecture and Design (optimise hardware and software design, provide
for scalability and interoperability, allow rapid prototyping for improved
time-to-market, and support the re-engineering of existing systems for open
systems).
Advanced Microelectronics Packaging and Interconnection (smaller, faster, more
powerful, and cost-competitive).
Hardware Systems Engineering (tools and methodologies for cost-efficient,
up-front design of advanced electronic systems, including modelling and
design-for-test techniques to improve cost, yield, quality, and time-to-market).
Environmentally Conscious Technologies (process control and optimisation tools,
information management and analysis capabilities, and non-hazardous material
alternatives supporting cost-efficient production, waste minimisation, and
reduced environmental impact).
Distributed Information Technology (managing and maintaining physically
distributed corporate information resources on different platforms, building
blocks for the national information infrastructure, networking tools and
services for integration within and between companies, and electronic commerce).
Intelligent Systems (systems that "intelligently" support business processes and
enhance performance, including decision support, data management, forecasting
and prediction).
