The University of Southwestern Louisiana
Proudly Announces the Inauguration of the
INTERNATIONAL MICROPROGRAMMING REPOSITORY
On October 29, 1984, ceremonies will be held celebrating
the inauguration of the International Microprogramming Repository
to be housed in the Dupre Library at the University of
Southwestern Louisiana located in Lafayette, Louisiana. The
repository will serve as an important archive for all material
relating to microprogramming and firmware engineering and will be
accessible to all researchers in these topical areas. The
University is proud to assist in furthering our cumulative
research efforts in this way and encourages researchers to come
and utilize these materials and to visit the Computer Science
department whenever in Lafayette.
The main events of the day will be talks being given by
Professor Maurice V. Wilkes and Professor Michael J. Flynn.
Professor Wilkes' talk, entitled "Microprogramming; its origins
and development," will be delivered at 11:00 A.M. and Professor
Flynn's talk entitled "Basic Considerations in Computer
Architecture" will be delivered at 3:00 P.M. Both addresses will
be presented in Room 147 of Griffin Hall. These talks are to be
videotaped and the tapes will reside in the repository. Further,
visitor tours of the repository will be conducted at 9:00 A.M.
and at 1:00 P.M.
As the Seventeenth Annual Workshop on Microprogramming
commences the following day in New Orleans, this occasion will
also provide an excellent opportunity to combine attendance at
the inaugural ceremonies with attendance at MICRO17. The
opportunity to experience the beauty, warmth, and hospitality of
the Acadiana region of Louisiana is afforded, as well.
