4. Technical Presentation

Title: CSVG = Constraints + SVG

Abstract: In this talk, I will describe Greg Badros' CSVG, an extension to the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) standard. The extension consists of allowing geometrical constraints in the description of the model. I'll talk about the benefits and requirements placed upon such a system, and how CSVG meets those requirements. Finally, I'll try to generalize this discussion to the use of (arithmetic) constraints in graphical modeling, and accompanying issues.

5. General Discussion Items

Erin is proposing a special coffee hour, where volunteers are needed to experiment with a new session for the cs girls seminar.
