Industrial Affiliates Program (IAP), CS faculty and student organization members meet for lunch in the Texas A&M Memorial Student Center during the spring '06 IAP meeting. The IAP was developed to improve the CS department's knowledge of industry needs and practices to better help prepare and place students, and to foster research collaborations.
CS welcomes the Geometry and Graphics Group to the department's formidable body of
Research Groups, Labs & Centers. This group of student researchers, under the direction of Assistant Professor
John Keyser, performs research dealing with geometric calculations and computer graphics algorithms. Particular areas of emphasis in geometry are in highly robust and precise geometric computations, particularly with application to geometric modeling. This includes work on exact computation with algebraic systems. Within the broader computer graphics category, research emphasizes physically-based modeling and simulation.
Members of Aggie Women in Computer Science (AWICS) attend the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing held in Chicago. The Aggie women are pictured with Dr. Fran Allen, IBM Fellow Emerita, IBM Corporation. Dr. Allen received the Anita Borg Award for Technical Leadership at the Chicago Celebration.
The H.R. "Bum" Bright Building is home to the Texas A&M Engineering departments of computer science and aerospace engineering. Built in 1989, the Bright building has eight floors (including the basement); on five of these floors, you will find computer science and computer engineering students and faculty, as well as administrative and computing services staff.

Who are they and what do they do up there on the fourth floor of the H.R. Bright Building? Research...a lot of it in hypermedia systems, computer-supported cooperative work, and computer-human interaction. Also, among the courses offered by the faculty of the Center for the Study of Digital Libraries are Computer Supported Collaborative Work, Information Media (Structures of Interactive Information), and Information Storage & Retrieval. CSDL investigates where computer science meets the humanities, cognitive science, and education, making it a popular stop on Department of Computer Science lab tours.
Students in Dr. Walter Daugherity's CPSC 420 Artificial Intelligence class completed team projects to design a computer program which could learn how to win at 3-D tic-tac-toe, played on a 4 x 4 x 4 board.
From the Real-Time Distributed Systems group's research comes this computer-based
analysis of a degenerating blood supply system in the retina of a diabetic patient. This is an exciting investigation that is helping doctors to detect disease in its earliest stages.
