In Novosibirsk has transited regional Developer forum IDF in which course some developments of the Russian computer corporations have been presented not only to processing technique of world leaders, but also.

The economy of the majority of the advanced countries substantially depends on a level of development of the high technology productions which basis makes now semiconducting and computer processing techniques. These processing techniques are a concentrate of work of millions the highly skilled experts which work demands appropriate coordination. It is promoted by the scientific and technical conferences promoting an exchange of the information and popularisation of results received by branch.

One of the largest such actions for implementators of hardware and the software, having big scientific and technical and public value, is Forum IDF (Intel Developer Forum) is led twice a year, gathering leading representatives of branch. During the Forum the various questions linked to the advanced computer processing technique and production for the PC, servers, the communication equipment and pocket computing circuits are considered. It is characteristic, that practically half of the substances devoted to solutions, it is represented at conferences IDF not Intel corporation, and other companies.

Series IDF are arranged twice a year – in the spring and in the autumn. First they were led only in the USA, but the last years will be organised also in India, China, on Taiwan, in Japan, and also in Europe. The main and most numerous Developer forum by tradition is led in the United States. On spring session IDF-2004 of year in San Francisco have gathered about 4800 participants from 40 countries. It was offered to their attention about 200 hours of plenary reports of technical sessions and laboratory practical works.

At the Forum it is possible to see many heads of Intel, to communicate to employees of research laboratories of corporation and, the main thing, firsthand to hear the technological and grocery announcements defining development of the industry on the next years. All over the world the most perspective directions of development of the IT Industry become key subject IDF. This year a spring series of conferences of Forums transits under the motto «Convergence of processing techniques, the extension of possibilities».

The president of corporation of Intel in Russia Steve Chejz was one of those who initiated idea of carrying out IDF Russia. In its opinion, these actions bring the essential contribution to development of sector of information technologies to Russia. “For carrying out of visiting sessions IDF the countries occupying in the lead position in the locales are selected, and decision-making on Forum carrying out in Moscow was affected by impressing metrics of growth of the Russian computer and telecommunication industry", - Steve Chejz has underlined. The Skill level of the Russian implementators of information technologies is very high, and IDF Russia becomes a place of representation of domestic developments. “To us it is very important, that the market of information technologies developed dynamically and confidently, - speaks CHejz. – That it occurred, events like IDF in which course the industry companies-leaders could inform to the Russian implementators the information on high technologies, and in all its depth” are necessary.

In the autumn of 2002 IDF has come and to Russia. In October, 2002 the Forum has been led in Moscow where in this case there has arrived the main chief executive of corporation of Intel Krejg Barrett.

After a year in Moscow there has again transited one of autumn sessions IDF. In comparison with the first Russian Forum of Intel for implementators, the Forum has gathered almost in one and a half time of more participants — about 1200 engineers, experts in the field of IT, implementators, heads of IT divisions of firms, experts in marketing, analysts and journalists from more than 60 cities of the world, and with key reports five top-managers of Intel have appeared at once: high vice-presidents of corporation Michael Fister and Sunlin CHzhou and three vice-presidents: Claude Legliz, John Devis, Eric Menttser.

The autumn of this year in capital of Russia will lead next, already the third under the score Russian IDF, and before this event in the middle of May in Novosibirsk the regional Forum for the first time has taken place. It has allowed to expand even more geography IDF and has given possibility still bolshemu to number of the Russian experts to receive the detailed information on the newest processing techniques. At such extension of geography IDF that to many Russian implementators not simply to visit similar actions abroad for a variety of causes was considered also, including, financial and language.

Novosibirsk is selected by a place of carrying out of a regional Forum of Intel not casually. By Intel estimations, Russian market IT – one of most fast growing in the world, and Novosibirsk is widely known as large centre of the computer industry, a smithy of highly skilled scientific and technical frames. Within many last years Intel successfully realises here various marketing, educational and educational programs. In the autumn of 2003 of Intel has opened in Novosibirsk the regional representation first in Russia, aspiring it is even more to expand scales of the business in Siberian region.

·         research and development developments and telecommunication solutions,

·         laboratory operations.

Besides, participants of the Forum could visit an exhibition of processing techniques, products and the solutions, allocated on benches with demos-expositions from the leading Russian and foreign computer companies.

For participants regional IDF in Novosibirsk the wireless local area network of the standard 802.11b with a transfer rate on a radio channel to 11 has been developed Mbit/with.

In summary it is necessary to mark, that the regional Forum held in Novosibirsk (we will hope, that it becomes tradition) has once again shown fast development and perspectivity of the Russian market of IT processing techniques. The forum has transited. Experts of computer corporations sum up. However not time to relax, as ahead of next Forum IDF in Russia. It will take place in Moscow already in third time.
