Greetings!

The Central Texas Chapter of the IEEE Communications/Signal Processing
Society invites you to attend our September meeting and a presentation
by Scott Johnson, CTO of Surgient Networks.

DATE       September 20, 2001   6:30 PM - 9:00 PM

LOCATION   SBC Technology Resources, Inc. (SBC-TRI)

SPEAKER    Scott Johnson, CTO
           Surgient Networks

           Before founding Surgient Networks, Johnson was the co-founder
           and CTO of Thomas-Conrad, a network equipment startup with
           greater than $50 million in revenues before acquisition by
           Compaq. He has more than 18 years experience in software
           development and hardware systems engineering for network
           equipment. Johnson brings solid experience in communications
           and networking technology, plus exceptional engineering group
           leadership. He holds three patents with one pending.
           He graduated Summa Cum Laude from Case Western.

ABSTRACT   Content delivery is hampered by existing server architectures.
           We describe a new hardware architecture for providing efficient
           scaling of content delivery applications.
