ECE Graduate Seminar
<p> The ECE Department cordially invites you to attend the following seminar</p> <p> </p> <p> Engineering for the Next Generation</p> <p> By</p> <p> Mr. Charles Webb, IBM Fellow</p> <p> IBM Corporation</p> <p> Friday, February 1, 2013</p> <p> 3:00 p.m. KH 224</p> <p> Host: Dr. Mileta Tomovic</p> <p> </p> <p> The information technology industry is undergoing rapid and transformational changes. It is growing in size, scope, and societal reach even as the underlying technology approaches physical and economic limits. This seminar will look at some of these challenges, particularly as they relate to computer design, and focus on the characteristics and capabilities engineers will need in order to succeed in this world.</p> <p> </p> <p> Charles Webb joined IBM in 1983 and has held positions in performance analysis, processor design, and system design, all focused on the IBM mainframe computing platform. Charles led the mainframe processor design team through the transitions into CMOS technology and into full 64-bit capability with z/Architecture. In 2003, he was appointed to the position of IBM Fellow, the highest technical honor within IBM. Charles is currently responsible for the overall roadmap and strategy for IBM System z. He holds numerous patents, four Outstanding Innovation Awards, and three IBM Corporate Awards.
