New Stanford Computing Lab Explores Technology, Ethics and More in the Mobile-Social Future

by Stanford University

The Stanford University School of Engineering today announced the launch of MobiSocial Computing Laboratory, a collaboration between the researchers in the Stanford Computer Science Department along with scientists from leading industry corporations such as Google, Nokia, AVG Technologies and Sony Ericsson (News – Alert) Mobile Communications. MobiSocial will explore fundamental questions at the intersection of mobile communications and social networking. At a recent kickoff event, MobiSocial’s group of eminent computer scientists, graduate students, technology experts and industry representatives gathered to ask the most fundamental questions about social media and mobility: Can social be done better? Can it be even more social and more fun? Can it be more open? Can it be more secure? And, if so, how?
