历史
ICICS was founded in 1985 as the Centre for Integrated Computer Systems Research (CICSR) to promote interdisciplinary research among the three founding departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, and Mechanical Engineering at the University of British Columbia. In November 2000, CICSR's name was changed to the Institute for Computing, Information and Cognitive Systems (ICICS). The Institute's scope was broadened to include emerging human-centred technologies research, and membership eligibility was opened to any UBC faculty member pursuing this type of research. The Institute has grown from 30 members in 1986 to 150 in 2012.
Directors of the Institute include Jim Farah - Faculty of Computer Science (1986-1996), Rabab Ward - Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering (1996-2007), Nimal Rajapakse - Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (2007-2010), and Panos Nasiopoulos - Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering (2010).
