The Sixth Annual Emerging Information Technology Conference (EITC)

RICHARDSON, Texas (PRWEB) October 21, 2005 -- The sixth annual Emerging Information

Technology Conference (EITC-06) will be held at The University of Texas at Dallas

(UTD) on Thursday – Saturday, August 10 - 12, 2006. This exciting conference will

include programs on

Nanotechnology,

MEMS,

SoC (Systems-on-Chip),

bioinformatics,

C4I (Content, Computer, Communications, Consumer Electronics, and

Integration),

EET (Emerging Energy Technology), and

VC (Venture Capital).

Prof. Alan MacDiarmid the 2000 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry and the James Von Ehr

Distinguished Chair in Science and Technology at UTD, will deliver a keynote on

Thursday morning. Prof. MacDiarmid is now deeply involved in the global renewable

energy movement and his perspective on Emerging Energy Technology will be

enlightening and very much appreciated.

MacDiarmid said that he is “very excited to learn that many of the most distinguished

Chinese-American scientists, technologists and entrepreneurs are involved in EITC.

This conference series is rapidly and unquestionably becoming a bridge for the East

and the West in this fundamental area of globalization, which is sorely needed at this

juncture in time.” He added that he is so pleased and honored to be a part of this great

event.

The EITC is held annually. The objectives are to facilitate technical and information

exchange among professionals from the Pacific Rim and North America on emerging

information technologies; to strengthen the technical and business ties between the IT

industries and academics; and to jointly explore research and business opportunities in

emerging information technologies.

According to Michael H. Wang, founder of the Conference, “We are all excited that

EITC has grown from a regional (East Coast US) conference to now a world

renowned conference, encompassing all the major areas of 21st century technologies.

Having last year’s in Taiwan and this year’s in Texas has given us an excellent

opportunity to showcase different areas and strengths across the globe.”

The first EITC was held in New Jersey in 2001. For the following three years, in

order to highlight the vital importance of fundamental and basic research in all

selected disciplines, the EITC conference was held at Princeton University. The fifth

Emerging Information Technology (EITC-05) was held the National Taiwan

University and marked the first time the conference was held outside the United

States.

The conference is organized by a consortium of Chinese American Science and

Engineer Societies. In addition, IEEE Industrial Electronics Society will provide

technical co-sponsorship for EITC-06 as well. Following are the major conference
