Text Box: “Innovating for Society”

Text Box: MetroCon 2009 Patrons

Text Box: With four exclusive parallel conference tracks, this year’s IEEE-FW Section MetroCon provides one of the strongest programs ever, allowing the attendee to rapidly grasp the technical and societal implications of some of our most promising and innovative new developments. Each track has been organized in well coordinated morning and afternoon sessions to help achieve maximum exposure in minimum time. The Emerging Technologies track, a continuing high-tech feature of MetroCon, returns yet again with an even broader range of topics. This year's topics include The Digital Horizon-Pushing the "Bits" Closer to Antennas, Making Space for Business, Printed Electronics Based Upon Ink Jet Technology, Advanced Commuter Rail System, and Video Game Development. The Software and Systems Engineering track returns to MetroCon this year featuring critical technologies and cutting-edge developments occurring today in the industry. This year's topics include Applying Lean and Production Principles to Software Development, Measuring the Cost of Success in Evolutionary Search, Model-Based Approach to Integrating Avionics Subsystems, Efficient Visual Search and Learning, and The "Simulation Architecture". The Developing and Deploying Secure Systems track, a new track this year, provides an overview of how to develop and deploy secure applications. This year's topics include Application Security, Software Assurance Practice at Ford, State of Practice Industry, and Building Security. The Biotechnologies track brings together biotechnologists, academe, and engineers to share the current biomedical industry issues, advances, and successes. This year's topics include Trabecular Bone Microdamage, Vision Science Research, Islet Isolation Technology and Transportation for the Treatment of Diabetes, Device based therapy for correcting heart motion, and the Future of Medical Devices. This year’s keynote speaker will be Joe Jarzombek, Director of Software Assurance in the Cyber Security Division at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Four exciting tracks and our lunchtime keynote speaker makes this year’s MetroCon one that will be hard to forget. We hope to see you all there!  -- The 2009 IEEE-FW MetroCon Organizing Committee
