Intel CTO Justin Rattner is scheduled to meet with Prof. Steve Bishop in London on Jan 9th to discuss possible collaboration with FuturICT.

Justin Rattner is a corporate vice president and the chief technology officer (CTO) of Intel Corporation. He is also an Intel Senior Fellow and head of Intel Labs where he directs Intel's global research efforts in processors, programming, systems, security, communications and, most recently, user experience and interaction. As part of Intel Labs, Rattner is also responsible for funding academic research worldwide through its Science and Technology Centers, international research institutes, and individual faculty awards.

In 2011 Intel Labs achieved an impressive #6 placement on the Graph500ranking, a semi-annual listing of the highest performance machines for emerging “big data” supercomputing applications. The results were announced at the Supercomputing 2011 conference in Seattle.

Justin Rattner presented a compelling vision of the future in his IDF 2010 keynote entitled, Context: How it Will Really Change Everything. Justin outlined how context will be used to capture information about our daily lives which will enable our mobile devices to become true personal assistants. Context will enable technology to offer travel choices based on preferences entered or detected, track elderly people in order to predict or detect falls, or in fact ensure that we don’t accidentally send a picture to our boss of the sporting event we are attending when we are supposed to be working.
