2001 MAPLD International Conference Schedule

Please check for updates and corrections (updated 9/6/2001)

2001 MAPLD Block Schedule

Talks are identified by the Session and paper number.  For example, talk C3 is the third talk in the Session C, Reliability: Devices and The Effects of the Radiation Environment.  The "0" talk for each session is the invited talk for that session.  For example, talk B0 is the invited talk for Session B, Design 1: Processors, Logic, and Programmable Devices.  The Conference Keynote Address will be after dinner, on Tuesday, September 11th, given by Lt. General Paul J. Kern.

Invited talks are generally 40 minutes long with 5 minutes for questions and answers.  The schedule has flexibility built in and each Session Chair has the authority to lengthen [or cut-off] Q&A as appropriate.  Healthy discussions are encouraged.  Each regular paper will have a 20 minute presentation period, strictly enforced, with a nominal 5 minutes allotted for Q&A.  Floor mikes will be provided for Q&A and all questions should be preceded with the name and affiliation of the individual asking the question.  It's a large room, so please use the floor mikes for all questions.
