The Intelligent Automation, Inc. Colloquia Series @ The Institute for Systems Research is a monthly showcase of ISR faculty research for students, post-docs, faculty and staff. Each talk features a high-level overview of a research area, followed by a more in-depth discussion and plenty of time for questions and answers. Join us on the first Wednesday of the month at 4 p.m. in 1146 A.V. Williams Building!

This series is generously sponsored by Intelligent Automation, Inc.
