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

Fall'02 Meeting Time: I hope we can meet generally on WEDNESDAYS 4:05pm (somewhat different from last semester) However, on some weeks, based on speakers' requirements, we may move it to some other time entirely (see calendar below).

Fall '02 Meeting Place: CSE 305 unless otherwise mentioned

Fall'02 Coordinator: Meera Sitharam

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

The g2v2 group: A loosely knit, informal group including at least (currently) the following CISE faculty and their graduate students.

Georg Essl
Paul Fishwick
Paul Gader
Jorg Peters
Anand Rangarajan
Gerhard Ritter
Markus Schneider
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.
