  XXIII UIA World Congress Torino 2008
Torino will be the location of this prestigious event which every three years reunites thousands of professionals and students to cover a theme analysing the future prospects of the profession and its relationship with the social and cultural problems of the moment.
A title with two complementary sides: on the one hand architecture’s ability to communicate the meaning of what it does, both as design creation and for the deep social involvement it leads to; on the other architecture’s active role in perceiving – like an antenna – positive energies and society’s emerging phenomena.
Architecture presides over territorial transformation and talks to all the actors involved in this process, with the aim of asserting the right of all citizens to the quality of life and of the environment.

 Exploration Systems Architecture Study Encyclopedia Article @ LaunchBase.org (Launch Base)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The ESAS includes a number of recommendations for accelerating the development of the CEV and implementing Project Constellation, including strategies for flying manned CEV flights as early as 2012 and methods for servicing the International Space Station (ISS) without the use of the Space Shuttle [2], using cargo versions of the CEV.
Instead of a CEV fly-off in 2008, NASA will move to Phase 2 of the CEV program in 2006, with CEV flights to commence as early as June 2011.
The ESAS calls for the development of two shuttle-derived launch vehicles to support Project Constellation [4]; one derived from the space shuttle’s solid rocket booster (SRB) to launch the CEV, and an in-line heavy-lift vehicle using SRBs and the shuttle’s external tank to launch the Earth Departure Stage and Lunar Surface Access Module.

 bit-tech.net | AMD, ATI promise unified architecture in 2008
Now, AMD and ATI have announced their intentions for unified development by 2008 - this is quite forward thinking, considering that AMD and ATI are not one until ATI's share holders approve the deal.
The discussion all hinges from a slide AMD and ATI made about the benefits of the merger, which illustrates the move towards a "unified system" where chips can just be plugged in to meet various needs.
The slide is a bit ambiguous, but it illustrates CPUs and GPUs being able to talk to one another very closely, and in differing quantities depending on needs.
