The primary goals of the IC are to meet the faculty and their research, and to be introduced to the culture of the CMU Computer Science Department. It is an intense and enjoyable three-week introduction to the department, in all its facets.
This page contains a current version of the three-week schedule. In addition, a text version of the CSD IC'98 schedule is also available.
The schedule is organized and maintained by Dave Johnson (dbj@cs.cmu.edu); this web page is maintained by Eric Tilton (tilt+@cs.cmu.edu). You should send schedule-related issues to Dave; you should send web page issues (like link problems and colored table flames) to Eric. Also, if you have directions and/or a web page for a particular event, let Eric know, so he can add it.
All the sessions are in Wean 5409, unless otherwise specified.
This list of resources has been stolen shamelessly from last year's IC page; Eric will gladly take suggestions for additions or revisions at tilt+@cs.cmu.edu.
