Hi everyone,

The RCSS meeting is upon us once again. Here's the run down for this month.

Nigel Horspool will be presenting something on his research, though
I'm not sure what yet. His primary interest is in Java compilers, so I
imagine it will be something at least tangentially related to that.

Also, if you haven't been surfing under a rock, you've probably seen
the Seam Carving image resizing algorithm. It's been making the rounds
on all the usual websites and was the belle of the ball at this year's
SIGGRAPH. The Actual Paper is at [1]. I'll give a quick overview of
the algorithm and then we can talk about it. Also, if you haven't seen
the video yet, it's at [2] and is much more entertaining than you
would expect.

MEETING DETAILS:
Tuesday, September 4th, 7:00PM.
ECS 104 (last lecture hall to your left on ground floor if you enter
ECS from outside ring road)

Hope everyone enjoyed their summer -- it seems that its end is upon
us. Soon the day star will be escaping to more southern climes and
we'll all be hiding from the rain for months on end. All the more time
for computer science, so, see you all on Tuesday!
