Abstract / Description: 

Tuesday, Nov 14 (Day 1) - starts with a SystemX overview given by Prof. Boris Murmann and Prof. Philip Wong, SystemX’s faculty directors.  This will be followed by overviews of our Focus Areas by their respective faculty leaders. Breakout sessions for the Bio Interfaces and Design Productivity Focus Areas will follow in the afternoon.  The day concludes with an FMA student poster session / industry mixer, reception from 4:30 -6:00 pm.

Wednesday, Nov 15 (Day 2) - begins with topical presentations on research into Machine Learning at Stanford.  The intention is to be well rounded, and present the challenges as well as the opportunities to be found in ML.  The afternoon will hold three breakout sessions for the Computation for Data Analytics, for the Heterogeneous Integration, and for the Photonic & Quantum Technologies Focus Areas, after which member company representatives will assemble for our Business Meeting.  The day concludes with the SystemX Dinner also at the Li Ka Shing Center.

Our featured speaker at dinner will be Dr. Wally Rhines, President & CEO of Mentor Graphics, a Siemens business

Thursday, Nov 16 (Day 3) - will hold two breakout sessions in the morning for the Energy/Power Management Systems, as well as, the Internet of Everything Focus Areas.   This final day will end at noon.

On Tues and Wed, the conference will be held at the Li Ka Shing Center.  The Thursday morning sessions will be held in the Allen buildings.   Please consult the preliminary agenda for more details.
