The IBM Austin Center for Advanced Studies held a successful 5th Annual Austin CAS International Conference on February 19-20, 2004. Approximately 150 from the IBM management and technical community attended this two-day conference which gave University Faculty and Graduate Students from around the world the opportunity to present the findings and accomplishments of their 2003/04 IBM-sponsored research. This year's conference, representing over $1M of IBM investment in Faculty Awards, SUR Grants, and student Fellowships, was expanded to two days because of the exciting increase in the number of Austin CAS research projects. Twenty-five presentations shared fresh, innovative techniques and cutting-edge results that will directly benefit IBM's research and development efforts in hardware, software, systems technology, and business management.
Day one featured talks on "Technology and Circuits" including topics on design, power, and performance, analysis, test, and diagnosis. Day two focused on "High Performance Systems & Autonomic Computing," presenting papers on multiprocessor systems and simulation, memory subsystems including cache and prefetching, infrastructure and security, and special topics on autonomic computing and networks.

The Keynote was shared by Bill Ciarfella, Regatta H+ Program Manager, and Senem Guney, IBM intern and UT-Austin Communications PhD student, who delivered management recommendations based on organizational complexity and lessons learned from over one year of research at IBM Austin on the "everyday life of an IBM Hardware program manager." At the conference luncheon Mary Rigali, IBM Corporate University Relations program manager, recognized two Professors from UT-Austin's Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering Departments who were recently given Faculty Awards to sponsor new research. These presentations were followed by a few words from J. Strother Moore, UT-Austin Computer Science Department Chair, on behalf of universities everywhere; he thanked IBM for our continued support of university collaborations and research.
