The goal of this project is to ensure dependability of software systems, making them reliable and available based on a recovery-oriented approach. The proposed approach is based on a near-real time assessment and remediation of dependability bottlenecks of operational systems and design strategies to build dependable software.

This project aims to harvest knowledge from large text datasets, using them to improve accuracy and coverage of cognitive computing systems.
In addition to the monetary grant, the university researchers will benefit from the perspectives that Accenture Technology Labs researchers have to offer given their direct exposure to the enterprise business contexts in which the research would ultimately be applied. The program provides the opportunity for Accenture and university researchers to combine their expertise, learn from each other and achieve more than either could alone.
“With cyber security threats rapidly evolving and becoming increasingly complex, we are pleased to have received this grant from Accenture to help us advance the research we’re doing in the critical area,” said Professor David Bader, Georgia Institute of Technology. “Collaboration with Accenture will provide access to data and expertise that will help us to build proper algorithms, allowing our research to push further and faster than previously possible.”
"I am delighted that we were amongst a select group of universities around the world to be awarded with a research grant from Accenture,” said Professor Pushpak Bhattacharyya, India Institute of Technology, Bombay. “The combination of IIT Bombay's world renowned Natural Language Processing group with Accenture’s global consulting and technology services expertise will result in a mutually enriching experience, enabling us to work together on cutting edge cognitive computing problems."
“We’re pleased to be a recipient of an Accenture grant to help further our research in the area of cognitive computing,” said Professor Partha Pratim Talukdar, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. “The opportunity to collaborate with Accenture researchers will provide us with valuable inputs into how our research can help address the real-world challenges of enterprise organizations.”
