MIT Lincoln Laboratory is a federally funded research and development center chartered to apply advanced technology to problems of national security. Research and development activities focus on long-term technology development as well as rapid system prototyping and demonstration. These efforts are aligned within key mission areas. The Laboratory works with industry to transition new concepts and technology for system development and deployment.
The Laboratory’s reputation has been built on the strength and quality of its technical staff, and we allocate a major portion of time and resources to recruiting, staff development, and continued education. For staff members interested in pursuing technical graduate degrees at the master’s and doctoral levels, the Laboratory offers the opportunity to apply for admission to the Lincoln Scholars Program.
The 2008 High Performance Embedded Computing Workshop will be held from 23 to 25 September. The workshop’s theme is “Multicore Open Systems Architectures and Their Impact on DoD HPEC Systems.”
The Annual Report summarizes the Laboratory’s recent technical accomplishments and future outlook, presents recent administrative initiatives, and highlights some of the year’s achievements.
Laboratory employees volunteer their time and expertise to reach out to the local community in civic and educational programs. The Laboratory’s outreach initiatives promote service and education in partnership with the MIT Public Service Center. Civic programs include book drives, clothing drives for local shelters, and a benefit bike tour for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Education outreach programs include Science on Saturday and Classroom Presentations for K–12 students and the Leadership Initiatives for Teaching and Technology externships for middle and high school teachers.
