 Ronald Wilson Executive Editor EDN 510-744-1263 ronald.wilson@reedbusiness.com | Ron Wilson, EDN's executive editor,
boasts a checkered career reaching back to the dawn of medium-scale
integration, whatever that was. As a design engineer for Tektronix, Inc. he
developed bus interfaces and participated in processor- and graphics-engine
architecture and design, as well as evaluation engineering and software-driver
development. The most tangible project in which he participated led to—arguably—the
first engineering workstation, unknown today except for its minor supporting
role in the original Battlestar Galactica television series. Later an exile from engineering, Ron wandered through the realms of training and marketing before landing happily in the editorial world, first with Computer Design Magazine in the mid-1980s. From there he moved to CMP Media, where he wrote for EE Times and was briefly involved with ISD Magazine. His primary interests are system design based on highly-integrated ICs, the interaction of chip and software engineering and the future of design practice in the increasingly global electronics community. |
