		HOT INTERCONNECTS II
	A Symposium on High-Performance Interconnects

	Sponsored by the Technical Committee on
	Microprocessors and Microcomputers of the
		IEEE Computer Society.

		Stanford University
		Memorial Audiorium
		Palo Alto, CA
		August 11-13, 1994

Attend Hot Interconnects II, a symposium focusing on the architecture and
implementation of high performance interconnects of all scales. Hot
Interconnects offers a broad technical program emphasizing real solutions.
Enjoy the informal format offering interaction with speakers and the chance
to share experiences with professionals working on a range of interconnect
types. Presentations will include the latest products as well as current
research. See what's hot in ATM, PCI, SuperClusters, MPPs, WANs and more!

This is an advance program. Sessions may be dropped, added or moved between
days.

8:30-12:00 MORNING TUTORIALS

1) ATM Networking by James D. McCabe

This tutorial will describe the reasons for developing ATM, potential
applications for ATM based supercomputer networks, and the evolution towards
services-based networking.

2) Introduction to PCI Design by Tim Mostad

This tutorial will give an overview of the Peripheral Component Interconnect,
PCI, which is highly likely to become the choice for the new generations of
powerful microprocessor based systems.

3) Digital Audio and Video by Lawrence A. Rowe

This tutorial will describe the human audio and visual systems, the major
compression standards, and their interactions. This knowledge is needed for
the first part of the afternoon tutorial.

1:30-5:00
AFTERNOON TUTORIALS

4) FibreChannel by the FibreChannel Association

This tutorial will present the advantages, the overview, the status, and
future directions of Fibre Channel.

5) Multimedia Infrastructure and Surfing the Internet by Lawrence A. Rowe

This tutorial will cover multimedia infrastructure including hardware
platforms, network technology, storage systems, and software, and will survey
possible future directions and standards. The latter part is a beginners'
guide to using mosaic to cruise the internet.

Luncheon is included in the $100 fee per tutorial.
