The Theme
Workshop 2005 will be held by Microsoft Research Asia
from May 26 to May 27, 2005 in Beijing China. It is
aimed to facilitate communication, collaboration, and
community building around the themes of Gaming &
Graphics, Trustworthy Computing, Embedded Systems, and
Windows Core Technology.
The two-day workshop, plus an option of a sightseeing to
the world acclaimed Chinese attractions, will be filled
with Microsoft technology updates and briefings from
Microsoft senior staff, presentations of best practices
from university faculties, posters session, group
discussions, exciting demos and so forth. About 120
attendees in the related fields will be invited to this
workshop.
The Theme Workshop is a big gathering of computing
innovations, addressing high level computing issues
around four themes. Gaming & Graphics Theme is
particularly interested in topics around AI technology,
graphics, and interactive design for entertainment, and
computer game design, games production, game engine, and
game programming technologies. The Trustworthy Computing
theme focuses on the innovations for research and
curriculum around the four areas which we refer to as
the "Four Pillars" of Trustworthy Computing: Security,
Privacy, Reliability and Business Integrity. With the
Embedded Systems theme, Microsoft Research seeks to
encourage the state of the art of computer science
research and curriculum in Windows embedded technology,
such as Windows CE .NET and Windows XP Embedded. The
Windows Technology Theme seeks to encourage curriculum
innovations around, but not limited to, Windows
operating systems and NT architecture.
The invitation for proposals around the above themes was
started in January 2005. Part of the workshop is
designed to be a get-together of the project owners to
demonstrate their quality work and to share the best
practice with peers. This will also encourage broad
discussions around the separated themes and facilitate
related community activities for further collaboration
and information sharing.
Microsoft senior researchers and other technical experts
will give updates and briefings about the related
technologies. Through multiple tracks of presentations
and meetings, the workshop will create opportunities for
partnership among faculty and between faculty and
Microsoft.
The Theme Workshop 2005 provides an opportunity to
access to the state-of-art computing technologies and to
exchange information and experience with peers around
innovations in the related area of focus. |
