EDN Japan, a part of Reed Electronics Group, and In-Stat, publisher of Microprocessor Report and part of Reed Business Information in the U.S.-invite you to submit proposals for announcements and in-depth technical presentations at the International Microprocessor Forum 2008, to be held July 16 - 17, 2008, at the Aoyama Diamond Hall in Omotesando, Tokyo, Japan.

Speakers at MPF 2008 will have the opportunity to participate in the industry’s most important event for launching new processors, systems on a chip, entire systems, and applicable software. With an audience expected to consist almost entirely of design engineers and managers, your presentation must include significant technical detail. It should preferably include new information not previously disclosed. First-time disclosures will be given preference.

As always, audience interest is very high in embedded systems, processors, DSPs, SoCs, reconfigurable computers and specific processors, and software targeting digital-entertainment workloads. Areas of interest also include entire systems and processors; SoCs and related technologies for PCs, workstations, and servers involved in generating, recording, transcoding, storing, or playing any form of visual and audio applications; and game graphics for the consumer at home and on the go.

We are seeking presentations on the following topics:

• Multicore processors and enabling technologies
• Breakthrough technologies for future semiconductor design and manufacturing
• Entire dedicated systems, plus overviews of system and application software
• Responses to changing customer preferences: accelerators or programmable processors
• PC and server processors
• Dedicated, embedded systems for home and mobile entertainment electronics
• Low-power embedded processor cores
• Entertainment systems enabled by 4G cellular bandwidth
• High-performance microcontrollers
• High-performance embedded processor cores
• Imaging and video DSPs
• Video-game processors
• Graphic chips that can also be used for high-performance computing
• Systems on a chip (SoC)s
• Intellectual property in entertainment: cores, buses, I/O, codecs, software

Note that we give preference to announcements disclosed for the first time at the forum. All presentation proposals will be kept strictly confidential. Proposals may be preceded or accompanied by appropriate nondisclosure agreements.
Please direct content, topics, and technical questions to Max Baron at mbaron@reedbusiness.com and MaxMBaron@aol.com
Please direct logistics and sponsorship questions to Mutsumi Shioyama at m.shioyama@reedbusiness.jp

Deadline for proposals is Apr 4th, 2008.
