About ISC

ISC is a registered 501c(3) non-profit organization recognized by the Internal Revenue Service and duly incorporated in the state of California. It was formerly organized with an NSF I/UCRC planning grant among three UC campuses (UCI, UCLA and UCSD; participating faculty) to leverage the strengths of industry, academia and government for advancing Semantic Computing technologies. In 2017, Robotic Intelligence is added as an additional theme.
