Subject: Formula 1 Grand Prix and INDY teams race to SunWorld '94
From: Andrew Rodger VP/GM Open Systems IDG World Expo
Plenary session features engineers from Penske, McLaren and Ferrari
With indy racing and formula 1 hot in the news this month, attendees at
SunWorld '94 will get a first hand look at how Sun workstations play an
integral role in the conceptual design, dynamic analysis, testing,
manufacturing and production of the world's leading formula 1 and indy
car teams.
With safety and performance in everyones mind during indy race month
and following the tragic death of 3 time world champion F1 driver
ayrton senna, this plenary is uniquely important.
Taking place June 13-18 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco,
SunWorld '94 is the leading conference and exposition for the community
of Sun, SPARC, and Solaris users, resellers, third party software
vendors, service providers and system integrators.
Led by Dr. Charles Clarke, a leading IT and CAD/CAM consultant and
journalist from the UK, the panel will discuss the importance of high
end graphics and simulation, transfer of technology, and the use of sun
systems for telemetrics between on board cars systems and trackside
computers. The panel will be joined by top jet engine engineer joe
mares from Rohr Inc. who will focus on uses of Sun graphics systems in
the aerospace industry. Joe Mares was responsible for the design of
aircraft and thrust reverser systems for the V2500-D5 nacelle used on
the MD-90 airliner.
Race car team panelists will include Nick Goozee, managing director of
Penske cars, Andy Willard, CAD/CAM designer from Ferrari formula 1,
Dieter Gundel, head of systems engineering at McLaren, and Nigel Hobden
co-founder of Random Limited, a key supplier to the race car industry.
"This plenary session is an example of SunWorld's commitment to educate
users on not only advances in Sun open systems technology, but how
those advances influence various businesses within diverse industries,"
said Jackie Murphy, SunWorld show manager.

Subject: Sun designed Penske Cars at Indy
Watch out for the Sun designed Penske cars at Indy this weekend. Al
Unser Jr is on pole, Emerson Fittipaldi is front row, position 3, and
Paul Tracy is in the 9th row.
The new car, and the much talked about Mercedes engines are highly
fancied. Emo did the fastest lap time at over 230 mph (average)!!!!!
Nick Goozee, the boss of Penske cars, responsible for their design,
manufacture, and test is one of the line up at the Sunworld plenary on
June 15 at Moscone. McLaren and Ferrari f1 are the others. Joe Mares,
jet engine designer from Rohr Inc, will also be there to talk about
technology transfer, and the use of Sun graphics systems in aerospace.
Penske is the most successful team in indy history, and McLaren is the
most successful team in formula 1 world championship history. Ferrari
has entered f1 just this year, and has been the car of the year so
far.
All of these cars are designed, analysed, and then manufactured through
the use of software running on Sun.
In addition McLaren has been the most innovative user of Sun systems
for telemetry.

Subject: Swiss Bank Corp Session with Zander & Jobs
SunWorld ' 94 at Moscone Center in San Francisco, June 13 - 18 1994,
will feature a plenary session discussing the use of Sun as a strategic
platform for financial and commercial environments on Thursday June 16
from 9.00am to 10.30 am.
Hosted by Dwight Koop and Pat Kerpan of Swiss Bank Corp, the session
will feature Ed Zander, President, SunSoft, and Steve Jobs, chairman
and CEO of NeXT Computer inc.
The panel will discuss the use of Sun as a strategic platform for
gaining and maintaining competitive advantage in commercial
environments.
Round One - the battle against closed OS vendors has been won! Sun and
NeXT are the assertive leaders setting the standards in the UNIX
sector. But many believe there is a "new blue" fighting innovation.
Will Sun and NeXT take the lead? What will be so unique about Solaris
3.0 and OpenStep 4.0? How can transnational organizations join the
Sun/NeXT partnership and get the edge on their competitors?
How will Sun and NeXT reach for the high ground to the extended
enterprise? What can you build with NeXT, Sun and OpenStep that you
can't with windows or MAC?
These, and other critical questions, will be answered in this
enlightening debate. Special emphasis will be placed on the financial
industry's use of Solaris as a strategic platform. But the lessons
learned can be applied to virtually all commercial applications.
About Mr. Koop and Mr. Kerpan:
As senior vice-president and executive director at Swiss Bank Corp.
Dwight Koop is responsible for managing the systems engineering
department, and is accountable for coordinating architecture,
infrastructure, and office automation policy for all of the swiss
bank's international finance group (IFG.)

analysis group - a 90 person team of software developers,
mathematicians, statisticians and risk control experts. Mr. Kerpan
