在IBM Watson Research慶祝指導教授Ed Davidson 70歲大壽的workshop

剛收到這則通知，我的指導教授Ed Davidson今年70歲了，學生們要聚集起來幫他慶生，就決定今年五月在IBM Watson Research Center辦一個整天的workshop，名為Pioneering Contributions to Computer Architecture (PCCA)。  Ed是一個非常好的老師和學者，他讓我真正學到做人跟做研究應有的態度，也成為我盡力去仿效的對象。

Hello All, (apologies if you receive two copies of this invitation)

Online RSVP may be found at https://www.eecs.umich.edu/eecs/etc/pcca/index.html
Ed Davidson - Professor Emeritus, teacher, friend, confidant and philosopher – turned 70 years old in December, and some of his former students and colleagues would like to honor him with an IBM Watson Workshop and dinner on Memorial Day Weekend, May 28 through 30, 2010. A draft agenda is below.
