摘要

The conference was hosted by NIST on September 27-29, 2004 and was cosponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Instrumentation and Measurement Society. Acting Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Dr. Hratch Semerjian, opened the conference with a warm welcome. Dr. Semerjian spoke of the importance of standards on components and system interoperability and his assertion of interoperability's role in the expansion of the PC market to its grand scale today. Dr. Semerjian described how standards are basic to the culture of NIST. Pursuing device and system interoperability based on standards is one of NIST's goals. More than seventy attendees participated in the conference, coming from diverse areas such as instrumentation and measurement, industrial automation, aerospace, power generation, semiconductor manufacturing, and telecommunication.
