Keynote Wednesday, Sept. 24th, 2014 Dr. James Truchard "How Time Is Revolutionizing Measurement and Control" The integration of time in measurement and control is significantly improving performance and reliability. With the Internet of Things, the role of time is continuing to expand. Technologies such as GPS, TSN, and time-aware CPU interfaces are making it possible to build systems with synchronous, distributed computation and sensor I/O that will allow us to solve challenging, large-scale problems and to improve system reliability. Dr. James Truchard, President, CEO, and Cofounder of National Instruments Named an Innovation Agent by Fast Company, James Truchard, president and CEO, cofounded National Instruments in 1976 and has pioneered the way scientists and engineers solve the world's grand engineering challenges. As one of Forbes' America's Favorite Bosses, Dr. James Truchard, commonly known around NI as Dr. T, has led the company from a three-man team to a multinational organization recognized as a Fortune 100 Best Places to Work and one of the top 25 "World's Best Multinational Workplaces" by the Great Places to Work Institute. Under Truchard's leadership, the company's long-term vision, known as the 100 year plan, and focus on improving the world by providing tools that accelerate productivity, innovation, and discovery, has led to strong, consistent company growth and success of its broad base of customers, employees, suppliers, and shareholders.

Elected to the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering, Truchard has also been inducted into Electronic Design's Engineering Hall of Fame. Additionally, Truchard has been recognized with the Woodrow Wilson Award for Corporate Citizenship for his community involvement with organizations including: the Engineering Foundation Advisory Council, The University of Texas at Austin Chancellor's Council, Austin Software Council, and FIRST Robotics. Truchard's personal passion for gardening and photography has led him to writing a gardening book that he plans on giving to non-profits for their use fundraising. Truchard holds a doctorate in electrical engineering, as well as a master's degree and bachelor's degree in physics, all from the University of Texas at Austin. Truchard earned his master's and doctorate degrees while working full-time as the managing director of the acoustical measurements division at the UT Applied Research Laboratories.

Keynote Thursday, Sept. 25th, 2014 Han Li, Ph.D "IEEE 1588 time synchronization deployment for mobile backhaul in China Mobile" In the mobile communication systems TD-SCDMA and TDD-LTE, stringent time synchronization is needed to support requirements for the air interface of base stations. The conventional synchronization method is to attach GPS receivers. IEEE 1588 provides an alternate cost-effective solution. China Mobile started the project in 2008. Currently the PTP solution has been successfully supported by PTN, OTN and GPON and is deployed in all the CMCC metro networks to provide time services for TD-SCDMA/TDD-LTE systems. This presentation introduces the networking specification and experience of deploying IEEE 1588-2008. Three phases have been identified by China Mobile in rolling out its PTP solution. Phase I focused on an accuracy study. In this phase we identified the time network model, hops limitation, and synchronization mode. Phase II focused on a network architecture study, including time-domain scale, GM priority, and a frequency-quality-based clockClass mechanism. Phase III focused on network construction and maintenance, especially asymmetry compensation. Han Li, Ph.D, Deputy Director of the China Mobile Research Institute (CMRI) Han Li is the Deputy Director of the China Mobile Research Institute (CMRI). He graduated from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications and received his Ph.D in 2002. He has led PTN, OTN, 100G WDM, GPON and Time Synchronization projects in China Mobile and has been rewarded the first prize of science and technology development of China Communications Standards Association (CCSA) two times. He is the Deputy Rapporteur of ITU-T SG15 Q9 and CCSA TC6 WG1. He holds more than 30 domestic and international patents and has published numerous scientific papers.
