<Call the ORCAN army .....they're numder one against bugs!!>> I am interested in attending the IEEE conference in Boston this year. I have sent in registration materials already but have not heard from them. (I got a free pass from a sales engineer) Before I make the trip from Pennsylvania I would like to know if there are going to be papers, etc. of interest to me to make the trip worthwhile. I am primarily interested in software topics, ie. software engineering, specification techniques, finite state automata, and the like with a secondary interest in microprocessors - hardware, software, systems. If anyone out there would be interested in posting a list or editted list of the conference schedule I would be very interested (and probably some others would also!?) Thanks in advance for any info you can forward to me! -- Chris Smith {bpa,psuvax,sdcrdcf}!burdvax!ccsmith

<> Correct me if I'm wrong, but the technical program at Electro isn't usually something to get excited about. Electro is a trade show which allows vendors to let vendees know about their products. It isn't an exchange of technical theory. With that said, the program I've received for Electro indicates the following programs. If you've got more info (or would like more than the session titles) please contact me since I, too, am trying to decide if it's worth the trip for the vendor contact. 1) EMI Shielding - The FCC and Beyond 2) Technological Economic Issues and Industrial Competition 3) High Density Interconnections 4) Radar of the 80's and Beyond 5) Financing Hi-Tech Corporate Growth 6) Gate-Array Technology: Promises and Problems 7) Pulse Compression Techniques in Radar Systems 8) Requirements for Program Management in the Decade Ahead 9) High Speed, Low Power Bipolar Logic 10) Alternatives to Microprocessor Development Systems (MDS) 11) State-of-the-Art Electrically Erasable Memories 12) Videotex: A New Information Distribution Medium 13) Automated vision in PC Manufacturing 14) Recent Innovations in DRAM and Support 15) Application of Voice I/O Technology 16) New Tools for Testing Programmable Logic and Digital Systems 17) The 256K DRAM 18) Voice Mail Technology 19) The Engineer Meets the Information Age 20) The International Climate and Trade in High Technology 21) Magnetic Components for Today's Electronic Systems 22) Advances in A/D Converters Simplify System Design 23) Evaluating Offshore Opportunities: Sourcing, Subcontracting and Manuf. 24) Medical Instrumentation 25) High Voltage/High Power Integrated Circuits 26) Non-Volatile Memory Alternatives There are also 24 sessions scheculed for the Sheraton.
