The Center for Iranian and Research Analysis (CIRA) will hold its 23rd annual meeting on May 6th – May 8th, 2005 at the Widener University in Chester Pennsylvania, USA. The theme is: Post Khatami Iran. We invite papers, panels, and roundtable submissions from observers, commentators, and experts on broad theoretical, empirical, and normative aspects of Iranian society. Specifically, we invite the participation of economists, historians, sociologists, psychologists, political scientists, legal analysts, healthcare experts, literary scholars, demographers, journalists, and graduate students. Although the focus of the conference is Iran, comparative papers on Central Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia are welcome.

Technology OF The Next Decade
Dr. Hong-Tai Chou & Dr. Mostafa Ronaghi,
Consolidation (i.e. mergers & acquisitions) and commoditization (as reflected in out-sourcing) of a high-tech industry are strong indications of impending transition for the industry. Recent acquisitions of PeopleSoft by Oracle, and Sprint by Nextel are preludes to seismic changes of the high-tech landscape.
Yesterday’s science fictions are tomorrow’s reality. Many exciting and breath-taking advancements
in technologies are already taking shape as part of the next technology revolution. In this opening program for 2005, Dr. Hong-Tai Chou and Dr. Mostafa Ronaghi will share their views and observations of the major
trends and opportunities in the areas of Biotech, Material Science, IT and Nanotech.
Dr. Hong-Tai Chou, received his Ph.D. in Computer Sciences from University of Wisconsin -Madison. He also received an MS in Electrical Engineering and an MS in Computer Sciences, both from UW-Madison. Prior to his graduate study, Dr. Chou received a BS degree in Electrical Engineering from National Taiwan University.
Mostafa Ronaghi, Ph.D. moved to Sweden in 1988 for academic education. He received B.Sc. in biomedical chemistry from the University of Kalmar, and was awarded Ph.D. in Biotechnology from the
Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm in 1998 describing the invention of Pyrosequencing technology. After a short postdoctoral period at the Royal Institute of Technology, he joined Stanford University.
