Announcements
Notice: I will not be available on Thursday, Nov 21 for medical reasons (minor stroke). Therefore the EECS 823 class will not meet that day. Since we have three presentations scheduled for Nov 21, we will postpone them – Beggs and Wanamaker will present on Tues Nov 26 (along with Ord and Quirk), and Gish will present on Tues Dec 3 (along with Satterfield, Schrader, and Shields). Sorry for yet another inconvenience. The posted presentation schedule has been updated.

Notice: I will not be available on Tuesday, Sept 3 for medical reasons. Therefore the EECS 823 class will not meet that day. We will resume our class meetings on Thursday, Sept 5. Sorry for this inconvenience.
