WELCOME TO TIFCA

The Future Computing EcosystemWHAT IS TIFCA

The International Future Computing Association is a network of member companies and institutions that each play a part in what are, and will be, the tools and experiences that impact our daily lives using computer technology and media.

TIFCA’S MISSION

TIFCA’s mission is to develop open frameworks and initiatives that enable technology adoption.

HOW TIFCA OPERATES

The International Future Computing Association operates under the following principles:

  • TIFCA is an international non-profit organization.
  • All voting members have equal voting rights.
  • Everyone keeps their own IP. License agreements are arranged when necessary.
  • All membership meetings are subject to standard non-disclosure agreement.

OUR FOCUS: CORA FRAMEWORKS

CORA (Create Once Reach All) refers to methods and frameworks that deliver the same digital content across multiple platforms and devices. CORA is achieved by leveraging client device, cloud service, content development, and network ecosystems. CORA will continue to be improved through emerging technology and innovation.

Today’s CORA frameworks are primarily based on streaming content from the cloud to the client device.  Current examples of this framework are widely demonstrated with cloud gaming, content streaming, and web-based applications.

CORA 2.0 Framework

A new generation of CORA approaches aim to enhance the bridge between client devices and the cloud so that the processing responsibilities could be shared between them with a hybrid workload balanced approach.  These frameworks offer many theoretical benefits like enabling applications to do more for more people, streamlining the use of bandwidth and resources, and potentially growing the total addressable market of users through cloud-enhanced devices and ecosystems.

For discussion purposes, TIFCA delineates its understanding of the ecosystem as CORA 1.0 for the current cloud streaming practices, and CORA 2.0 for the developing hybrid client-cloud technologies and methodologies.

IT’S CORA, Preparations For 2022

By Neil SchneiderTIFCA News

The International Future Computing Association’s mission is to develop open frameworks and initiatives that enable technology adoption.

Weekly ecosystem meetings, investigative research, new relationships, and exciting initiatives have all made 2021 a great year for TIFCA.  Now we are getting ready for 2022!

One of the goals of the TIFCA membership was to better understand the ecosystem it lives in.  Based on our findings, we discovered an industry truth we call CORA (Create Once Reach All).  CORA refers to methods and frameworks that deliver the same digital content across multiple platforms and devices. TIFCA is contributing to this space, and we have launched itscora.com – a portal about the CORA ecosystem and where its future is heading. Read More
