* The Naval Postgraduate School (Monterrey, California) Modeling,
   Virtual Environments and Simulation (MOVES) Institute is holding an
   open house to show off the work of the September 2001 graduating
   class and the work of their faculty.

   The open house will be held the 28th-30th of August at the Naval
   Postgraduate School.  For more information, follow the link from
