Geometry, Graphics, Vision, Visualization/Visual Simulation (G2V2) Seminar

Fall '01 Meeting Time: I hope we can usually meet on WEDNESDAYS 11am (NOTE CHANGE FROM LAST SEMESTER) However, some weeks we may move it to FRI 11am, and occassionally to some other time entirely (see calendar below).

Fall '01 Meeting Place: CSE 305

Fall '01 Coordinator: Meera Sitharam

Look at the TENTATIVE AND FLEXIBLE schedule below, and send me mail with the details of suggested speakers (including possibly yourself).

Paul Fishwick
Paul Gader
Jorg Peters
Anand Rangarajan
Gerhard Ritter
Meera Sitharam
Baba Vemuri
Joe Wilson

Below I will also cross-list talks from other departments that are of immediate interest to the g2v2 group.

Here's a list of general goals of the g2v2 group and seminar.
