Professor Jim Hendler is leaving the University of Maryland to join Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute beginning in January 2007. An RPI press release describes his new role at RPI

Hendler will focus the work of the new Tetherless World Constellation on increasing access to information at any time and place without the need for a “tether” to a specific computer or device. Researchers envision an increasingly Web-accessible world in which personal digital assistants (PDAs), cameras, music-listening devices, cell phones, laptops, and other technologies converge to offer the user interactive information and communication.

Jim joined the Maryland College Park campus in 1986 after receiving his Ph.D. from Brown. We will miss him and wish him well at RPI.
