Mr. Gezelter had been scheduled to present Safe Computing in the Age of Ubiquitous Connectivity in New Orleans, Louisiana on November 17, 2005. The tragic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina has made the date and place of this presentation uncertain. In the aftermath of Katrina, chapter activities have been postponed until further notice. Please watch http://www.rlgsc.com/upcoming.html for details concerning schedule.

Our prayers and best wishes are with our colleagues in the Gulf Coast area, who are dealing with the problems caused by Katrina, both personal and professional.

IEEE Computer Society Distinguished Visitor Program sponsors presentation on Software Architecture in Memphis

The Memphis chapter of the IEEE Computer Society, together with the University of Memphis has invited Mr. Gezelter to present Architectural Issues for Embedded Processors and Applications on November 2, 2005. The capabilities of embedded microprocessors and microcontrollers have dramatically increased in capability from the very primitive, limited capabilities of the original Intel 4004 to capabilities approaching yesterday’s mainframes. The complexity of their tasks has increased accordingly. Mr. Gezelter will explore architectural techniques that can be used to effectively harness the power of today’s microcontrollers. The full abstract along with the exact time and location of this presentation is posted on http://www.rlgsc.com/upcoming.html.

Following the talk, the slides from the presentation will be available through our presentations page.
