DIMACS is a multi-institution consortium led by Rutgers University. When it was founded in 1989, DIMACS was a partnership of four academic and industrial institutions based in New Jersey – Rutgers University, Princeton University, AT&T, and Bellcore.
Since its founding, DIMACS has added academic and industrial partners to broaden both its scientific community and its geographic footprint. Representatives from these partner institutions participate in the governance of DIMACS by assisting with program planning and helping to set the center's strategic direction.
