The Image Processing and Analysis Working Seminar (iPAWS) at the University of Minnesota ran during the 2004-05 schoold year. It was a weekly research seminar on the general topics of imaging, image processing, and vision. The goal was to bring together researchers from various scientific disciplines to share knowledge and make connections across departments. Participants and speakers hailed from Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Psychology, Radiology, and other fields involved in the study of imaging science. This seminar was supported by the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) and was intended as a lead-in to the IMA's 2005-06 theme on imaging. During the year, we heard some great talks, helped make connections between departments, and drummed up interest in the IMA imaging year.

Talks were held Thursday 12:20 - 1:10 in Lind 409, in line with the university 50-minute course schedule. Participants were encouraged to bring a lunch (BYOL) and gather at noon to discuss their work and dine in an informal, friendly atmosphere. Some refreshements were provided, courtesy of a generous donation by Prof. Jackie Shen. The seminar was organized by math PhD student Todd Wittman.
