Text Box: “Innovating for Society”

Text Box: With three 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 talks cover advances in nanoscale materials, advanced integrated modeling,  image recognition and segmentation using ALISA Engine, and advanced system designs. The Power Engineering track returns to MetroCon this year featuring accelerated cable life (ACLT) results with reduced insulation wall thickness, communication networks, building for the 21st century utilities, and substation circuit breakers. The Systems and Software Engineering track, a new track this year, features critical technologies and cutting-edge developments occurring today in the industry. Topics include battery free wireless sensors for space applications, open source software, model-based software development, virtual surgical planning, and broadcast authentication in wireless sensor networks. This year’s keynote speaker will be Eric Branyan, Vice President of the F-35 Program at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company. Three 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 2008 IEEE-FW MetroCon Organizing Committee
