CSE Department Poster Workshop

April 13, 2000

The Year 2000 Annual Computer Science and Engineering Department Poster Workshop was a great success.  Graduate and undergraduate students are strongly encouraged to present their work in this workshop.  The workshop included prizes in recognition of interesting work and top quality presentations.

The Student Poster Workshop gives students an opportunity to share and showcase their research with other student, faculty, and visitors to our department.

Welcome to the 2000 Department of Computer Science and Engineering Annual Poster Workshop!

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering is proud to present the 2000 Poster Workshop. Once again, a large number of our graduate and undergraduate students have participated in this workshop. We received a total of 51 submissions (40 from graduate students) and (11 from undergraduate students). 

The goal of this workshop is to give students an opportunity to display their research work and be recognized for it. It will also inform our students and faculty about the research being conducted in our department. We also expect that this workshop will inspire our new students to do quality research.

`The workshop includes prizes to recognize the best poster (overall), best poster (graduate student) and best poster (undergraduate student).

Sponsors

The poster workshop is sponsored this year by Microsoft, Crowe Chizek, IBM, Sun, and the College of Engineering.   Past poster workshops have been sponsored by Hewlett Packard, IBM, Lucent Technologies, Siemens, Intel, Microsoft, Silicon Graphics, Sun Microsystems, Texas Instruments, SAIC, Motorola, and the College of Engineering.

Complete Abstracts of all Entries

Some abstract pages include photos of the poster.  Of course, a small photo cannot do justice to the larger posters on exhibit in the third floor hallway of the Engineering building, so please feel free to visit the exhibit any time in the coming year.

Graduate Entries

Undergraduate Entries

Note to presenters:  I have placed some photos of posters on the abstract pages.  These were taken quickly and are not always representative of your work.  I will be happy to replace any photos with new ones you send me or remove photos you do not like.  Please contact Charles B. Owen if there are problems with the photos.
