Eric Schmidt, chief technical officer at Sun Microsystems, will take over for his colleague Bill Joy, in presenting the Thursday, Feb. 15th plenary session at UniForum '96. The Plenary, entitled "21st Century Technologies", will focus in on how existing technologies will adapt and evolve for enterprise computing in the Year 2000 and beyond.
Given his role as chief technologist at Sun there is probably no better qualified speaker than Dr. Schmidt to handle this Plenary, which is free to all UniForum registrants. Dr. Schmidt is responsible for coordinating all aspects of Sun's core and emerging technologies, including Sparc microprocessors, the Solaris operating environment and networking products such as the Java technology that is so much in the news today.
Dr. Schmidt joined Sun in 1983, became a vice president in 1988 and assumed his present position in 1994. He has an engineering degree from Princeton University and earned M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California, Berkeley.
