Adam Smith: Turning Scribbles into Science: A Tale of Undergraduate Research at Allegheny College
Undergraduate research is an amazing opportunity that few think of as being a possibility. The process of proposing an idea, obtaining the necessary funds, and completing the research can seem daunting, but is not necessarily out of reach. This talk will chronicle the events surrounding a software testing research project performed during the summer of 2007. We will also provide a detailed explanation of how a software testing tool uses three minimal set cover algorithms to reduce regression test suites. The presentation will offer an overview of the steps that an undergraduate should take to ensure a successful research experience at Allegheny College. [Back to Top]

Robert S. Roos: Current Topics in Computer Graphics: A Report from SIGGRAPH 2007
The annual SIGGRAPH conference and exhibition is the premiere showcase for new developments in the theory and practice of computer graphics. In this talk we will sample a few of the papers presented at this year's SIGGRAPH conference, with particular attention to three of them: (i) solid textures – generating three-dimensional structures like wood grains from two-dimensional samples, (ii) creating responsive game characters from motion capture fragments, and (iii) generating mazes from images.

Mike Richwalsky: Exploring Amazon's Hardware as Service Offerings
In 2006, Amazon.com began offering software developers the opportunity to leverage the company's expansive computer storage and bandwidth for their own projects. This talk will explore Amazon's e-Commerce and server-on-demand products, their potential benefits, and the current use of these technologies at Allegheny College. [Back to Top]
