C.V.P.R., as it is known, is an annual gathering of computer vision scientists, students, roboticists, software hackers — and increasingly in recent years, business and entrepreneurial types looking for another great technological leap forward.
The 10-member project team includes music professors, computer scientists and graduate students.
In the fall of 1980, Michael Shamos, a computer scientist, law student, and businessman who was teaching at Carnegie-Mellon University, in Pittsburgh, and running a software company, saw an announcement on a computer bulletin board that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was looking for examiners for computerized-voting systems.

This year's InciteHealth Fellows came from all over the country and from various industries; the cohort includes an applied mathematician, computer scientists, bioengineers, medical scribes, medical students, and hospital architects.
People in the field hope that as more people learn about the demand for computer scientists with high-performance computing skills, and scientists with a computational background, interest among students will grow.
This course has the two groups of students working side by side, the computer scientists learned biology and the biologists learn some of the computational constraints and both groups of students learned research techniques.
Across the global economy, computer scientists, hospital technicians, consumer marketers, bankers, soldiers, students and more see new possibilities.
For example - we have implemented some operations with mutual consent of all the team members (including scientists, students, lab operators and computer scientists etc).
"Nobody's been able to grow it in a laboratory despite trying," said Vaughn Iverson, the computer scientist and doctoral student in oceanography at the University of Washington whose software sequenced the genome.
