Abstract

This showcase paper describes the Global Interaction Research
Initiative – GIRI – recently inaugurated at the IT University
of Copenhagen. It presents the motivation for this initiative,
namely that the use of information technology is the
core enabling factor for global collaboration and business.
We argue that there is a fundamental need for understanding
and providing next generation technologies for this ultra
large-scale interaction paradigm. GIRI is organizing around
a set of research themes and projects, focusing on different
application areas. Themes and projects are loosely coupled
in the sense that each research project is defined in its own
right with a specific set of challenges, vision, approach, partners,
and funding scheme. At the time of writing, GIRI has
3 research themes and are hosting 6 projects, but these numbers
are expected to increase as GIRI grows. GIRI is an open
initiative, and we invite other researchers to join.
