MacAulay-Brown Inc. (MacB) announced March 13 that employees from its Secure Computing and Communications (SCC) Division, based in Roanoke, Va., will attend the 2017 Government Microcircuit Applications and Critical Technology (GOMACTech) conference in various roles. GOMACTech is the critical technology forum where major government microelectronics applications and initiatives are announced.
“In preparation for GOMACTech this year, our team has created outstanding technical engineering solutions to showcase specifically for the DoD community,” MacB’s Secure Computing and Communications Division (SCC) Senior Director Barry Polakowski said. “Being selected to participate on multiple fronts is a true testament to MacB’s commitment and reputation as an accredited and trusted microelectronics services provider throughout the industry.”
Program Manager John Hallman was selected to serve on a panel and present a white paper abstract, while coworkers were chosen to exhibit a poster presentation at the four-day event, scheduled from March 20 to March 23 at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada.
Hallman will serve as a key panelist on a Joint Working Panel, “Trustable Microelectronics Standard Products,” during the Trusted Suppliers Industry Session and present a white paper abstract, “Advancements in Automated Circuit Grouping for Intellectual Property Trust Analysis.” He and his colleagues will discuss an approach evolving from a manual process into automation. The automated circuit grouping aids evaluators by assembling related circuitry into hierarchical blocks of functions, so they can be quickly analyzed.
MacB Senior Research Engineer Whitney Batchelor is also presenting a technical discussion, “Inexact Subgraph Matching for Digital Circuit Analysis.” The discussion and poster exhibit, co-authored with colleagues and engineers Stephen Baka and Frederic Tuttle, evaluates the usefulness of directly applying inexact matching algorithms from non-circuit domains to circuit structures.
