RSVP: tc-computer@ieee.org by June 5.
Where:
ION Corporation
5474 Feltl Road
Minnetonka, MN 55343
Directions:
Hwy 62 to Shady Oak Road, go north 1 mile on Shady Oak Road, turn right on
Smetana Road and go about 0.4 miles to the second right, turn right on Feltl
Road and go to the first driveway on the right then an immediate left into
the parking lot. ION Corporation is in the second building on the right
(west).
Note that this is ION’s new location – look for the building number, their
new sign may not be installed.
About the subject:
Ensuring long useful lives for hardware and software systems with the
inevitable expansions, upgrades, and previously unconsidered
interconnections to other systems is an architectural function. The results
can be positive, resulting in long, low-cost system life, or negative
leading to a system with significant limitations.
Often neglected are the architectural techniques and concepts, both in terms
of what behaviors are specified, and in terms of what areas are left open.
The impact of these areas on the longevity of the system life cycle is often
not well appreciated.
We will examine how successful architectures have achieved longevity without
major incompatible changes. In the end analysis, success for architecture is
measured by its ability to assimilate changes in mission, implementation,
interconnection, and scope without the need for incompatible changes. Put
succinctly, 20 years into an architecture, success is measured by the
ability of systems implemented on Day One to interoperate unchanged with
systems implemented on Day 20369.
About the speaker:
Our speaker will be Robert Gezelter, a Senior Member of IEEE and a member of
the IEEE Computer Society’s Distinguished Visitors Program. Mr. Gezelter
holds BA and MS degrees in Computer Science from New York University. He is
a contributor to the Computer Security Handbook (2002) and the Handbook of
Information Security (2005). He has spoken and written extensively on
operating systems, networks, performance, security, tools, and similar
areas.
Mr. Gezelter is in private practice, and maintains his offices in Flushing,
New York. He can be contacted via his firm’s www site at http://www.rlgsc.com.
