Greetings, We are pleased to announce the Intel IXA University Program Student Design Competition. The Intel IXA University Program Student Design competition will allow undergraduate and graduate university students from U.S. Universities to present innovative work based on the Intel® IXA architecture, specifically the IXP family of network processors. There will be a web-based application process available through the IXAEDU.com website and all entries will be reviewed by an Intel panel of experts. Six (6) qualified selected entries will be awarded grants for the proposed projects. After the selected projects have been completed and submitted for judging, the top two (2) projects will be selected to receive an award presented at the Fall 2003 Intel Developer Forum (IDF).
