The Oct 15 talk for the IEEE C/SP chapter will be by Mr. Tom Roman.

Abstract:

The use of network communications protocols is spreading into diverse
application areas.  Each niche of users is generating and adopting a protocol
for its particular field.  Mr. Roman will present an overview of some of these
networks protocols in the embedded microcontroller domain, typically used for
transferring short commands or messages.  Differences arise due to the scope
of the applications and to the specific needs of the users.  Several netowrk
protocols and related hardware/software will be presented; for example,
Mind-Net, LONWorks and a few others.  A brief review of the OSI reference
model will also be presented.  A worksheet, "Criteria for Selecting a Network
Protocol", will be distributed to anyone interested.

Biography:
Mr. Roman recently completed a research project which involved network
protocols for peer-to-peer communciations for a multi-axis machine
controller.  This research was part of Mr. Roman's graduate studies
toward a recently awarded "Master of Science degree in software design
at the Univ. of St. Thomas.  Mr. Roman operates a consulting firm,
Roman Associates Inc.  whcih offers engineering services for product
design and development.  Mr. Roman also hols several other engineering
degrees, BSEE/MSEE from South Dakota State Univ and is a registered
professional engineer in Minnesota.
