The article previews the International Solid-State Circuits Conference to be held from February 5-9, 2006 in San Francisco, California. The record number of papers that will be presented at this landmark event will topple records in chip density, performance and sophistication. But amid the sound of shattering records are more subtle themes like gradual shifts in architectural thinking, the quiet emergence of entirely new technologies in bioscience and organic circuits and the incredible continuity of silicon CMOS. The CMOS theme will be sounded in the first keynote of the plenary session.

This article focuses on the Microwave Technology and Techniques Symposium (MTT-S) held in Long Beach, California, last month. Conference participants were staying at Motel-6. While a shuttle service took the conference attendees back and forth to the convention center, the motel had no Internet service for its rooms. But there was a wireless connection available from the tiny hotel reception area, where a complementary continental breakfast was served. Among the attendees was an upstate New York researcher, finding 190-210GHz applications for IBM's SiGe. There was a French Canadian studying Terahertz spectrometry, and taking in every paper he could on high-GHz transmissions.

The article highlights the 31st annual conference of the Special Interest Group on Graphics (SIGGRAPH) of the Association for Computing Machinery held at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California from August 8 to 12, 2004. A couple of decades ago, conference attendees could count on seeing a couple things at SIGGRAPH that had literally never been seen before in human history, such as textured 3D objects or hierarchical human animation. SIGGRAPH 2004's total exhibition area was smaller than the hallowed days of yore, composed mostly of software companies, some boutique specialty hardware outfits, schools, and graphics board manufacturers. Walking the show's exhibit floor provides ample evidence that the industry's major players have changed in recent years. One reason the show floor's smaller is that there's been considerable consolidation in both the hardware and software graphics industries over the last few years. There were several indications this trend is still in full swing. One class of hardware that wasn't in evidence at the show was tablet computers. There's exactly one attendee using a tablet, compared to hundreds of laptops of every size and description. If the SIGGRAPH community's resisted adopting tablets as mobile work devices, one wonders if there's any hope for them in the wider community, at least until they become as thin and light as paper.

The article focuses on the first annual conference and exhibition held by the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Graphics (SIGGRAPH) at the Los Angeles Convention Center, California from August 8 to 12, 2004. The show drew 27,825 attendees, down from its high of nearly 50,000 seven years ago, but up from 17,000 two years ago. SIGGRAPH remains the Mother of All Imaging Conferences, featuring a unique mix of science, art, commerce and education. With a wide selection of panels, papers, films, and innovative exhibits, SIGGRAPH rarely disappoints.
