[Gary McMillian]

Reminder...

The Central Texas Chapter of the IEEE Communications/Signal Processing
Society invites you to attend our July meeting and presentation by Michael
Hathaway on Network Processors.

CURRENT MEETING

DATE       July 19, 2001   6:30 PM

LOCATION   SBC Technology Resources, Inc. (SBC-TRI)
           9505 Arboretum Blvd, Austin, Texas

TOPIC      Network Processors

SPEAKER    Michael Hathaway, Venture Partner, Austin Ventures

           Mr. Hathaway has over 20 years of experience in the high tech
           industry ranging from analog and digital audio electronics to
           networking and telecom.  He started his career in the audio
           electronics industry with work on analog and digital audio DSP
           technologies. While at Lexicon, he established the  successful
           LXP series of digital audio effects processors. Mr. Hathaway has
           worked in the telecom and networking industries at such companies
           as BBN, Digital Products, Ascom/Nexion, Xedia, and Agere
           (Lucent). While at BBN, he  spearheaded research and development
           in IP router forwarding engine technology for the DARPA funded
           Multi-Gigabit Router program. He was Co-Founder, CTO and VP of
           Engineering of IronBridge Networks, Inc, a Boston area core
           router startup company, and most recently was Chief Technology
           Officer of Agere (recently acquired by Lucent Microelectronics)
           where he headed up a pioneering team developing first and second
           generation Network Processor architectures.

ABSTRACT   Network Processors are gaining significant attention in the
           market today. Every major communications based semiconductor
           vendor has invested in network processing technology either by
           acquisition or by internal development. By far the largest source
           of Network Processor technology to date, however, is internal
           chip development done by the data communications OEM's
           themselves.

           In this talk we will discuss what Network Processors are and how
           they are used in a networking system. We will also discuss how
           the Network Processor market has evolved into what it is today
           and how these devices could affect network system architectures
           in the future.

*********  The presentation is open to chapter members and non-members.

*********  Free food and beverages will be served to attendees.

RSVP       If you plan to attend, please send e-mail to Howard Headrick
           at hfrjr at swbell.net for planning purposes.

UPCOMING MEETING - Please note change

In September, the chapter will meet at Surgient Networks, and the company
will give a presentation on their network content delivery technology.
