              ISSCC 50th-Anniversary Events




To celebrate the 50th-anniversary of the International Solid-State Circuits
Conference, a number of special program events have been planned:

The ISSCC Digest of Technical Papers will contain a special historical sec-
tion. This section will include overviews of key ISSCC papers over the past
50 years arranged by subject. Topics of these special articles include
Digital, Memory, Signal Processing, Analog, Communications/microwave,
Sensors & MEMS, and Imagers. Also included are historical overviews of
the formation and history of the Conference, and a listing of the Chairs of
the US, Far East, and European committees from the early history to the
present.

An Author Honor Roll is included to identify and recognize those authors
who have provided at least 10 regular contributions to the ISSCC Digest
of Technical Papers. The top author in this listing has co-authored over 40
papers to date at ISSCC!

A History-of-ISSCC Museum will be open for viewing Sunday through
Wednesday afternoon in Golden Gate A1. This museum will contain his-
torical memorabilia and photographs from the archives of the Conference.
Key papers and die photos will be displayed in their topic areas of Digital,
Memory, Signal Processing, Analog, Communications/microwave,
Sensors & MEMS, and Imagers. Viewing times will be from 7:30 AM until
10 PM daily, except Wednesday when closing will be 5 PM.

In addition, a short living-history video containing interviews with five
ISSCC pioneers will be available for viewing in the Willow Room, next to
Golden Gate A1. The pioneers are Arthur Stern of General Electric, John
Linvill of Bell Laboratories, Jerry Seran also of General Electric, Merlin
Corrington of RCA, and Richard Baker from MIT Lincoln Labs. All of
these pioneers were involved in the initial formation of ISSCC. The inter-
views answer the questions concerning what led to the formation of the
early meetings, and the involvement of the University of Pennsylvania in
this early success. As well, a full-length version of this video will be avail-
able for your personal viewing in your hotel room on one of the Marriott
Hotel TV channels.

Finally, there will be some Anniversary-related events during the Monday
morning Plenary session, and a special anniversary cake served during
the Monday-evening Social Hour.
