The IEEE Computer Society, the world’s leading organization of computing
professionals, is launching a one-day Technology Summit designed to bring
executives and technologists together to learn about and discuss the latest
issues, strategies, and advances affecting today’s high-technology
businesses.
The inaugural event will be held Tuesday, 13 May at the Rio All-Suite Hotel
& Casino in Las Vegas, in conjunction with the IEEE Computer
Society’s annual meeting. Expected to draw several hundred people, the
summit will feature a powerhouse lineup of world-class experts and speakers,
with concurrent tracks on CyberSecurity, Electronic Game Development, and
Software and Systems Engineering and Standardization.
“The Technology Summit was organized to provide a forum of technology
exchange between computer-science practitioners and leading experts,”
said Roger Fujii, series organizer and vice president at Northrop Grumman
Mission Systems. “For our inaugural event, we selected outstanding
speakers who will provide the latest thoughts in hot technologies such as
digital forensics, game development, and systems and software
engineering.”
The track organizers are all recognized experts in their fields.
CyberSecurity track organizer Hal Berghel is associate dean of the University
of Nevada, Las Vegas’s College of Engineering, as well as founder and
director of the CyberSecurity Research Center and co-director of the Identity
Theft and Financial Fraud Research and Operations Center. Ann DeMarle,

About the IEEE Computer Society
With nearly 100,000 members (40% of whom reside outside of the United States), the IEEE Computer Society (www.computer.org) is the world's leading organization of computer professionals. Founded in 1946, it is the largest of the 39 societies of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
The Society is dedicated to advancing the theory, practice, and application of computer and information processing technology. Through its conferences, applications-related and research-oriented journals, local and student chapters, distance learning campus, technical committees, the Society promotes an active exchange of information, ideas, and technological innovation among its members. Its Certified Software Development Professional (CSDP) program feeds the demand for fully trained, competent software engineers as the computer industry has expanded and systems have become more complex and sophisticated requiring higher competence in building quality systems.
The IEEE Computer Society is also known throughout the world as the leading organization for developing technology standards in computing. Its Standards Activities Board provides an organizational framework and conducive environment within which to develop broadly accepted, sound, timely, and technically excellent standards that will advance the theory and practice of computing and information processing science and technology.
