[VPM] Sept 5 - Recreational Computer Science Meeting

[Darren Duncan]

You are invited at zero cost to attend the September 5th Recreational 
Computer Science Society meeting, in 2 days.

RCSS will meet in its usual place and date (1st tuesday of the 
month).  It is 6:00PM, Tuesday September 5th. in ECS 660 on campus. 
(Engineering Computer Science, new building next to the engineering 
wing, see bottom left of C4 at http://www.uvic.ca/maps/2dmap.html).

The Recreational Science Society meeting for September is proceeding 
as planned. Due to ongoing trouble with the Google Group, I am 
sending this low-fidelity message and will try a different service 
for the group's next meeting.

This month's agenda is looking really great. In no particular order, 
here it is:

1) (Guest Faculty Speaker) Daniel German -- Problems of Image 
Blending in Building Panoramas
2) (Personal Project) Angela Norton -- Visualizing Hierarchical Datasets
3) (Paper Review) Taras Glek -- Fault-Tolerant Computing
4) (Topic Overview) Ryan Nordman -- Recent Developments in Raytracing
5) (Algorithm Analysis) Peter van Hardenberg -- Scale Invariant 
Feature Transforms (A Method for Matching Photos)

We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday, including (hopefully) 
a few new faces.
