02/12/2009 15:00
02/12/2009 17:00
Australia/Sydney

This is a must attend event for companies involved in microelectronics design and development.  It will feature:

  • Presentation on the IEEE International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) by Dr. Takayuki Kawahara, Hitachi Research Labs, Japan and Chair of ISSCC Far East Committee.
  • Discussion forum: NICTA IC Design Incubation Centre – Joint proposal by NICTA and Cadence to provide low cost access to EDA design tools for Australian SMEs.
  • ESA Showcase Event

RSVP to Graeme Robertson, gprobertsonatieee [dot] org

Chris Nicol and Graeme Robertson will facilitate a meeting to address the state of the Australian Microelectronics industry. There will be two presentations:

Australia at ISSCC – presentation by Dr. Takahuki Kawahara

Takayuki Kawahara is visiting Australia specifically to meet with the Australian microelectronics industry and to present the IEEE International Solid State Circuits Conference. Dr Kawahara is head of the ISSCC Far Eastern committee and will showcase the conference and call for increased Australian participation. This is crucial to grow the awareness and international presence of Australian microelectronics industry and capability.

NICTA IC Design Incubation Centre – A proposal by NICTA/Cadence

The NICTA IC Design Incubation Centre is a proposal by NICTA for discussion with microelectronics industry partners. The first step for the centre is to make available low cost tools to Australian SMEs via an agreement with Cadence that delivers substantial saving s and benefits to SMEs undertaking IC design over the next 3 years. We will organise a facilitated discussion around the proposal, as well as ideas for other initiatives that can help deliver benefit to the microelectronics industry.

ESA Showcase 2009

This event will be followed by ESA's end-of-year event, "ESA Showcase 2009", at the same location, featuring:

  • Dr. Glenn Wightwick, Director of IBM Australia development lab. “Towards a smarter planet”

Glenn Wightwick PhotoGlenn Wightwick, IBM

Dr. Glenn Wightwick is an IBM Distinguished Engineer, Director of the IBM Australia Development Laboratory and IBM Australia Chief Technologist.

"Towards a Smarter Planet"

Abstract

We have been thinking for some time about how we can apply information technology to improve the efficiency of systems, both natural and man-made.

As the world is becoming more instrumented, there is a great opportunity to integrate data in real-time from a broad variety of sources, and to apply advanced analytics to gain deeper insight into these systems.  This approach is being applied to improve traffic and transportation, food supply chains, the environment and even cities.

Nigel Poole PhotoNigel Poole

Nigel Poole is Executive Director of Commercial for CSIRO.

"CSIRO's Wireless LAN Success"

Abstract

CSIRO's commercialisation of the Wireless LAN technolgy. Nigle will cover the technology development, the legal process, the results, and the recently announced $150M Science and Technology endowment fund.

Dr. Takayuki Kawahara, HitachiTakayuki Kawahara Photo Labs Japan

Dr. Kawahara of Hitachi Labs in Japan is a world-leading semiconductor researcher. A Fellow of the IEEE and Chair of the Far East COmmittee of the ISSCC conference

“Hitachi R&D for power efficient systems”

Abstract

R&D activities in Hitachi for highly power-efficient digital system are reviewed.  Heterogeneous multi core with parallel processing for embedded systems. Program pattern based control of operating frequency and substrate voltage. NV-RAM system for normally-off function that enables digital equipment to be turned on instantly and resume the state prior to the interruption.

 

Who Should Attend?

Managers, technical staff and researchers from both Industry and Research. Anyone interested in the application of technologies to solve global problems like water, health, infrastructure, transport and telecommunications. These presentations will provide insight into global perspectives on addressing global problems with advanced technologies. We will cover visions for embedded "smarts" into everything, through negotiating IP issues and the value of patenting, and the state of the art microprocessors systems for embedded technologies.

BCS Innovations in collaboration with Macquarie University and AusBiotech are proud to announce the first annual Wireless Health Conference, Delivering Wireless Health Solutions, where leaders of the industry will come together to discuss the future of eHealth. Hear from senior executives of Australia’s and the United States’ most successful medical device/wireless companies on how they were able to grow their operations and transition them to the lucrative US market.
