In 1971, Leon O. Chua published a seminal paper on the missing basic circuit element.  Leon O. Chua and Sung-Mo Kang published a paper, in 1976, that described a large class of devices and systems they called memristive devices and systems.  Just recently, Stan Williams and his research team at HP Labs unveiled a two-terminal titanium dioxide nanoscale device in Nature magazine that exhibited memristor characteristics. This symposium will explore the potential of memristors and memristive systems as they advance state of the art nano-electronic circuits. Program (Part 1) Opening Remarks Steve Kang, Chancellor, UC Merced Pinaki Mazumder, Program Director, National Science Foundation Stuart Russell, Chair of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences Department, College of Engineering, UC Berkeley Memristors Leon Chua, Professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences Department, College of Engineering, UC Berkeley Finding the Missing Memristor Stan Williams, HP Senior Fellow and Director of Information & Quantum Systems Lab, Hewlett-Packard Material Implication Using Memristors: An Alternate Form of Boolean Logic Philip Kuekes, Computer Architect, Information and Quantum Systems Laboratory, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories     The event is co-sponsored by UC Merced and UC Berkeley in cooperation with the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA). The Symposium is funded by the National Science Foundation.

As the final face-to-face activity of the Opencast planning grant, Berkeley will be hosting a two day meeting which we are calling a "deep dive." There are two goals for the meeting: to complete the technical roadmap and architectural approach for the Opencast framework, and to continue work on Opencast governance, outreach efforts, and define funding strategy, opportunities, and activities. This deep dive will have two interwoven tracks which will build on the technical and community governance working group activities. It will be held on October 16 & 17 (a Thursday and Friday) in lovely Berkeley, CA.
