Title Data Clustering on Gene Expression Data

Abstract

The data clustering project funded by the CSUSB College of Natural Sciences
in summer 2008 will be simply presented. The main task of the project is to
compare different clustering techniques and to discuss their applications 
to gene expression data analysis. In this talk, the speakers will introduce
various clustering validation and data visualization techniques and discuss
some challenges in gene expression data clustering.

Title Update on Game Development Projects at CSUSB

Abstract
This presentation will provide an update on three game development projects
underway at CSUSB.  The first project to be discussed is Vector Force, 
which is a top-down space shooter game that runs under Windows and the Xbox
360.  The game is in its final stages of development and will be published
shortly through the community games distribution channel of Xbox Live 
Arcade.  The second project is Mythic, which is a multi-player role playing
game set in a virtual 3D world.  Prototype development of this game is 
approximately 75% complete.  The third project is a self-care health game 
as yet to be named that we hypothesize will help overweight people lose 
weight.  This project is in its inception.  In this game, users will 
interact with computer controlled characters by sending and receiving 
messages on their cells phones.  The speakers will discuss their roles in 
these 3 projects, including a report on the game development activities 
that were funded by the CSUSB College of Natural Sciences during the summer
of 2008.
