We need an approach here that scales from the smallest supercomputer up to the very largest,

We need highly educated leaders, skilled in research and analysis, who will undertake a creative approach to defining and solving problems so that we can address the injustices and inequities around our world. On graduation from Cambridge, Gates Scholars are in an ideal position to bring new vision and apply their learning to the benefit of society at large.

We're at a very key transition point, ... There are going to be lots of devices, but a new model that makes them work together. It is going to require an architecture approach that is different than what we have today.

Governments around the world tell us that to interoperate effectively they need a more structured approach to building information technology (IT) systems.
