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

Spr '00 Meeting Time: Fridays 12:00 (Bring your lunch).

Spr'00 Meeting Place: CSE 305

Spr'00 Coordinator: Meera Sitharam

---------------
IMPORTANT NOTE:
---------------

this semester, G2V2 CAN be taken for 2 credits as a special topics course (6930-Sitharam's section) . This would involve participation and giving a presentation on an appropriate topic AFTER consultation with me. All you have to do to register is go over to John Bowers in the grad. office on the 4th floor CISE, and tell him that you are registering for the course. Note that the current registrar's listing says the course carries 3 credits, which is a mistake. It only carries 2 credits. You may want to wait to make sure that you are registering only for 2 credits (but do it before JAN 13, the end of the add-drop period.


In general, even if you are NOT registering for the special topics course, if you would like to be added to the mailing list of this seminar, or would like to give a talk, please contact: sitharam@cise.ufl.edu

Also, even if you are NOT registering for the course, if you want to read, present and discuss a research article that is of interest to you, and of general interest to the audience feel free to volunteer to present it. The ensuing discussion is likely to be quite valuable to you. These discussions are one of the primary purposes of this forum.

Look at the TENTATIVE AND FLEXIBLE schedule below, and send me mail with the details and when you want to present.

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

Paul Fishwick
Jorg Peters
Gerhard Ritter
Meera Sitharam
Baba Vemuri

Below I will also cross-list talks from other departments that are of immediate interest to the g2v2 group. In particular, NOTE that the Neural Networks and Image Analysis group seminar run by Prof. Yun Mei from the Math dept (Ritter's group participates) is at 4 pm every Thursday in CSE 305.

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