Executives from Broadcom Corp., Dolby Labs, and the Fabless Semiconductor Association (FSA) will deliver the keynote presentations at the first-ever ARM Developers' Conference to be held in Santa Clara, Calif., Oct. 19-21. According to ARM, the conference will host over 180 classes, labs, workshops, and panel discussions “addressing design challenges and the future of the industry.”

ARM provided… this overview of the three keynotes:

• Dr. Henry Samueli, co-founder and CTO of Broadcom Corporation will explore both the historical and future technology and business trends that provide the basis for a broadband connected world. He will discuss the associated challenges and opportunities, as well as the implications of enabling virtually every electronic device to be connected to a network. In addition, Samueli will share his thoughts about how the wireless sector is leading the way as the adoption of Bluetooth and Wireless LAN technology continue to proliferate in consumer devices.
• Steve Vernon, vice president of licensing and technology for Dolby Laboratories will provide insights on the future of entertainment technology and the consumer experience, including the latest innovations in home and “on the go” solutions. He will also discuss how technological advances are enabling Dolby formats in memory-constrained applications, and address the challenges inherent to designing for the portable and networked markets.
• Jodi Shelton, executive director of the FSA will address the likely shape of the semiconductor landscape at the end of this decade, including insights on power shifts the industry will see along the way. She will discuss how the fabless model will evolve, the impact of an ever-growing market in Asia, the changing role of IP providers and EDA companies, and the shift of design and manufacturing centers around the world.
