At each session, a guest lecturer examines some topic on current research and developments in computer systems. Speakers are drawn from industry, government, research, and educational institutions around the world. The topics touch upon all aspects of computer science and engineering including logic design, computer organization and architecture, software engineering, computer applications of all sorts, public policy, and the social, business, and financial implications of technology. Frequently the Colloquium provides the first public forum for discussion of new products, discoveries, or ideas. en-us Education no Computer Systems Colloquium - Spring 2007 - Nanomanufacturing Technologies: Extending the Silicon Roadmap and Enabling New Applications (April 4, 2007) - (April 4, 2007) This presentation explores technology challenges in IC nanomanufacturing and reviews the most likely directions needed to sustain the pervasive growth of semiconductor content.
