Tuesday, June 11, 2002, 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM | Room: Auditorium B SESSION 11    SPECIAL SESSION: E-Textiles    Chair: Majid Sarrafzadeh - Univ. of California, Los Angeles, CA    Organizers: Majid Sarrafzadeh    Topics: Enabling technologies and fabrication techniques for the economical manufacture of large-area, flexible, conformable e-textiles applications. E-textiles represents a revp;itopmaru step by bringing together textiles and electronics in a common effort to integrate many elementary sensors, actuators, logic, and power sources sparsely distributed application, with highly unreliable behavior, but with stringent constraints on opertional longevity. On-th-fly reconfigurability and adaptability with low computational overhead. Device and technology challenges imposed by embedding simple computational elements into fabric, by building yarns with computational capabilities, or by the need of unconventional power sources.      11.1 Electronic Textiles: Large Area Sensing and Actuation    Speaker(s): Elana Ethridge - DARPA, Arlington, VA    Author(s): Elana Ethridge - DARPA, Arlington, VA      11.2 The Wearable Motherboard: A Framework for Personalized Mobile Information Processing (PMIP)    Speaker(s): Sundaresan Jayaraman - Georgia Institute of Tech., Atlanta, GA    Author(s): Sungmee Park - Georgia Institute of Tech., Atlanta, GA Sundaresan Jayaraman - Georgia Institute of Tech., Atlanta, GA Ken Mackenzie - Gerogia Institute of Tech., Atlanta, GA      11.3 Opportunities and Challenges in E-textile Modeling, Analysis and Optimization    Speaker(s): Diana Marculescu - Carnegie Mellon Univ., Pittsburgh, PA    Author(s): Diana Marculescu - Carnegie Mellon Univ., Pittsburgh, PA Radu Marculescu - Carnegie Mellon Univ., Pittsburgh, PA Pradeep Khosla - Carnegie Mellon Univ., Pittsburgh, PA
