ADVISORY...for Wednesday-Friday (March 15-17)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)

WHAT:             The Intel Computer Continuum Conference will bring
                  together some of the best minds from academia,
                  government research labs, and industry to explore
                  the notion of "pervasive computing" in the next 20
                  years.

                  Speakers: Thirty-five distinguished speakers will be
                  featured, including the president of AT&T
                  Laboratories, the Undersecretary of Education, the
                  president of the American Civil Liberties Union
                  (ACLU), top researchers from Xerox Palo Alto
                  Research Center and MIT Media Labs, and many more.

                  Sessions: Conference sessions will examine both
                  technical and sociological implications of pervasive
                  computing, such as the emergence of ubiquitous
                  networked devices interwoven with the physical
                  world, programming concepts beyond software,
                  fundamental changes in human-computer interaction,
                  and the societal and legal structures that will
                  emerge in the frontier of this technological and
                  human interaction.

                  Demos: The Conference will showcase a wide array of
                  prototypes.. Computers in unusual locations like
                  footwear, a wireless pen that writes on any surface
                  used as a natural input device instead of a
                  keyboard, software systems for dynamic vision and a
                  mobile computer smaller than a bar of soap consuming
                  only 1.5 watts and weighing 230 grams are just a few
                  of the futuristic demos being showcased.

                  Format: The Computing Continuum Conference is not
                  just another conference. It is designed to be an
                  interactive laboratory using 350 networked notebook
                  computers, along with advanced software and hardware
                  to capture the collective wisdom of the audience as
                  well as the presenters. The use of moderated chat
                  rooms enable conference attendees to actively
                  contribute rather than passively listen.

                  The Conference is sponsored by Intel Corporation in
                  association with the Association for Computing
                  Machinery (ACM). For more conference information,
