[SC-SP-04] Roadmap for the Next

P.A. Gargini (Chairman IRDS (IEEE))

The Electronics industry has benefitted from roadmap guidance given by Dr. Gordon Moore in 1965 and 1975, respectively. The subsequent NTRS and ITRS primarily provided devices to systems (bottom up) guidance from 1991 to 2013. However the ecosystem of the electronics industry drastically changed with the introduction of smart phones, tablets and most of all with the ubiquitous access to the Internet made especially possible by extensive wireless coverage of most urban areas. It was therefore necessary to drastically restructure the roadmap process and more strongly connect device requirements with system requirements. The first step towards this renovation consisted making an alliance with the Rebooting Computing Initiative (RCI) and subsequently forming the new International Roadmap for Devices and System (IRDS) under the IEEE umbrella. The 2017 IRDS (https://irds.ieee.org/reports) is aimed at providing a first step encompassing a system to device (top down) and a device to system (bottom up) guidance to the electronics industry. Highlight of the IRDS will be presented in the short course.
