The Centre for Advanced Studies (CAS) is an applied research centre formed in 1990 within the IBM Toronto Software Solutions Laboratory. Its primary aim is to facilitate the transfer of research ideas into the various product groups of the laboratory. Although we are still learning how to make CAS operate more effectively, and it is too early to assess its long-term success, the model for CAS has proved to be workable. The primary partners, namely the IBM Toronto Software Solutions Laboratory, the IBM research community, universities in North America, and government agencies that support collaborative research, have found it a viable approach. As an overview, this essay provides some background to the formation of the centre, describes some of the challenges deemed important in defining the role of the centre, identifies a number of principles that are used to guide its formation and current operation, and reports on its progress. We conclude with a discussion of some lessons learned in the operation of the centre to date and identify future activities and directions for the centre.
