KUDOS:

A joint proposal between the Software Research Center (College of Computing)
and the Construction Research Center (College of Architecture) has been
awarded a $45,000 grant from the Army Construction Engineering Research Lab. 
SRC's portion of the grant will be approximately $35,000.  Melody Eidbo will
be the PI for SRC's subcontract.  Their charter is to study transition
strategies for Open Systems, and the Construction Research Lab.  
 
One of Norberto Ezquerra's NIH-sponsored grants, "Visualization of
Multimodality Medical Imagery," has been renewed for four more years.  The
grant was submitted jointly with Emory and involves exploring vision and
visualization methods in fusing imagery from different sources.
