**LETTER FROM CHAIR PAZZANI**

Dear Friends:

As we approach the year 2000, we reflect on the successes (and failures) of
the field of information and computer science and look forward to the
opportunities of the next millennium. The start of the 1999-2000 academic
year marks the 32nd anniversary for my department, another significant
milestone in the binary world of computers.

The date September 9, 1999, holds significance to many in the computing
community because 9/9/99 was commonly used as an end of file marker by early
programmers. With this in mind, I felt 9/9/99 would be the perfect occasion
to host a high-tech forum on the future of computing.

Our program features perspectives from Orange County high-tech business and
academic leaders as well as those with ties to national agencies. We have
structured the evening to provide guests with an opportunity to informally
network with business colleagues, information & computer science faculty,
students, and alumni.

I encourage you to join us for this lively discussion on the past and future
of information technology.

Sincerely,

Michael J. Pazzani
Professor and Chair
Department of Information & Computer Science
UC Irvine

**SPEAKER PROFILES**

DAVID FARBER, THE ALFRED FITLER MOORE PROFESSOR OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

David is heralded internationally as an expert on telecommunications policy,
from technological innovations to governmental interworkings and beneficial
change. Through his work in computer-programming languages, electronic
telephone switches and super-high-speed computer networks, David played a
key role in the development of the Internet. His latest celebrity, though,
comes from Interesting People, an email newsletter subscribed to by
thousands of the most technologically savvy thinkers in industry, academia
and government, from Microsoft to the Central Intelligence Agency. He
serves on President Clinton's Advisory Committee on Information Technology
(PITAC) and was selected by the Justice Department as an expert witness in
the Microsoft trial to help answer the central question as to whether
Microsoft tried to monopolize the market in Internet browser software.
Several publications including Wired, People, Upside Today and Network
World, have profiled David as one of our nation's most influential
technology leaders. Some of his monikers include "The Paul Revere of the
Digital Revolution" and "The Man who Wired the World".

David received his B.S. degree in 1956, M.S. degree in 1962 and honorary
Ph.D. in 1999 from the Stevens Institute of Technology. He is a former
computing faculty member at UCI. This evening, he will discuss his views on
growth areas for computing and communications technology research, including
President Clinton's initiative on Information Technology for the 21st
Century. Guests will receive a complimentary copy of the recent PITAC
report presented to the President, members of his administration and
Congress.

JULIAN FELDMAN, FOUNDING CHAIR
INFORMATION & COMPUTER SCIENCE, UC IRVINE

As a founding faculty member, Julian is an authority on the history of UCI.
In 1964, he was asked to lead the development of a new independent program
in Information & Computer Science at UC Irvine. He has been in ICS ever
since with the exception of two years in Jerusalem and seven years as UCI's
Assistant Chancellor for Computing. His foresight and pioneering spirit
provided the direction and early support needed to grow the department to
eventually become the largest computing program in the University of
California system. Julian retired in 1991 to work on faculty emeriti issues
and give talks on the history of ICS.

DANIEL GAJSKI, PROFESSOR AND DIRECTOR, CENTER FOR EMBEDDED COMPUTER SYSTEMS

Fellow in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and
frequent invited speaker at NATO technology conferences (North Atlantic
Treaty Organizations). The author of four books on embedded systems and
digital design, Dan has served as a technology advisor to more than a dozen
Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies.

MICHAEL PAZZANI, PROFESSOR AND CHAIR
INFORMATION & COMPUTER SCIENCE, UC IRVINE

Since becoming Department Chair in 1995, Michael has increased student
