TECHNICAL CONFERENCE FOR ENGINEERS DESIGNING COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS
ANNOUNCED BY MILLER FREEMAN

First Ever Conference Focused On Practical Techniques And Design
Methodologies For Communication Systems Designers Takes Place December
11-13, 1995 In San Jose

San Francisco -- August 15, 1995 -- Miller Freeman Inc. today announced the
Communication Design Engineering Conference (CDEC), a new technical
conference created to provide critical, in-depth information on design
challenges facing telecommunication and data communication engineers. The
conference, scheduled for December 11-13, 1995 in San Jose, Calif. will
focus on practical systems design issues in classes taught by industry
experts and working engineers.

More than 35 technical classes, covering every important communications
technology, will be presented during the three day program. Subjects
include internetworking, mobile data, digital signal processing (DSP),
video, radio frequency (RF), and both local and wide area networks.
Special programs will be offered on Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and
the Serial Infrared Data Link Standard.

"The pace of change in the communications market has grown exponentially in
the last five years, and communication systems designers now need to stay
on top of an incredible number of new technologies and emerging
standards," said Nicole Westmoreland, conference chair and executive
editor of COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS DESIGN magazine. "We're excited to offer
classes covering the fast-changing cellular and satellite communications
markets, and other cutting edge design areas such as set-top boxes,
videoconferencing, internetworking, and ATM implementation. We believe
that CDEC will become the industry's most important event for design
engineers in the communications market."

The conference, at the Red Lion Hotel in San Jose, begins on Monday,
December 11, with a full-day tutorial on implementing ATM, including an
overview of the technology and pragmatic design guidance. On Tuesday,
December 12, professional members of the Infrared Data Association (IrDA),
which has propagated two important standards since its founding in 1993,
will offer five special courses on methodologies for infrared product
design. Subjects will include system design and interoperability, testing
and compliance when applying for the IrDA Mark, and transmission
requirements.

Other classes, presented December 12-13, address issues such as access
point design for wireless to wired networks, methods to shift pitch in
voice processing, and dozens of other topics. Bob Frankel, co-founder and
vice president of Spectron Microsystems, will present a class on the
design of DSP-based wireless base-stations, emphasizing multiprocessor
design considerations. Klaus Holtz, president of Omni Dimensional Networks
and holder of a patent for tree network data compression, will discuss his
new theory for "lossless" data compression for digital images and video.

The first ever Communication Design Engineering Conference is presented by
Miller Freeman, Inc., one of the nation's largest trade show producers and
publisher of COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS DESIGN magazine, EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
PROGRAMMING, and LAN MAGAZINE. A whollyowned subsidiary of United News and
Media, plc of London, England, the company produces dozens of electronics
and software development conferences and trade shows, including: the
