The 1999 PC Developers' Conference and Expo Provides Real Instruction from Industry Experts
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 29, 1999--Annabooks' fifth annual PC Developers' Conference and Expo will be held this year at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, Calif. from May 24 - 27.
Attendance at this event is a must for all design professionals and managers involved in designing PC-compatible embedded systems, PCs, peripherals and applications. The PC Developers' Conference and Expo is truly a unique event because it stands at the intersection of mainstream technologies and the dedicated computing world.
From CompactPCI to Windows CE, the importance of mainstream technologies to the embedded systems world increases every day. The two worlds can no longer be neatly separated, which has staggering implications for the dedicated market. Industry professionals need to be ready for the next generation of technologies -- and The PC Developers' Conference is educating the world about how to use them today.
PCI, Compact PCI and USB design and development still maintain the central position in this conference. The coverage of Windows CE has been expanded to occupy its own technical program track. In addition, tutorials will be presented on the latest bus and I/O architectures, including PCI-X, USB 2.0 NGI/O, and Future I/O. There are also important updates to SCSI, I2O, and IEEE 1394. The PC Developers' Conference is also breaking new ground by including a wireless and home networking track that encompasses HomeRF, HomePNA, IrDA, and wireless Ethernet. These new technologies may soon become common place in the desktop and computing worlds, and it is important to learn how to use them in today's designs.
The technical programs feature industry experts from organizations such as: Microsoft, Intel, Lucent Technologies, Compaq, IBM, Hewlett Packard, Sun Microsystems, Motorola, Novell, Unisys, Ziatech, Xilinx, Rambus Inc., Metaflow, Wind River Systems, Granite Microsystems, ShareWave, Molex Inc., Palo Alto Products, Annasoft Systems, Pigeon Point Systems, Unitrode, USAR Systems, PLX Technology, Raychem, and Phoenix Technologies just to name a few. Emerging technologies such as Rambus, Wireless, and Smart Battery will also be covered.
The PC Developers' Conference is dedicated to providing real instruction rather than just industry information. Attendees won't suffer through two-hour infomercials. Show sessions provide hard information from industry experts. From in-depth tutorials to the tightly focused technical sessions, attendees will find information to take home and apply.
The length of the tutorials range from a half-day to two full days of instruction on the hottest technologies. Tutorials will be offered in PCI, USB, Windows CE, Compact PCI, NGI/O, Device Bay, I2O, and Rambus. This year the PC Developer's Conference maintains its focus on core technologies, while broadening its scope to include new ones.
The one hour technical sessions are more focused and provide detailed instruction on a particular aspect of an important technology. The technical tracks will focus on Windows CE, PCI and I/O, CompactPCI, USB OS, USB Devices, USB Testing, Connectivity, Smart Battery, and Wireless topics.
The 1999 PC Developer's Conference provides developers with a wonderful format in which to learn today about what will be hot tomorrow directly from the industry experts. Don't miss out on this excellent opportunity! |
