Foundation-funded research presentations at CSM 2006.


[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

Four platform and 9 poster presentations reported findings from Foundation-funded research at CSM CSM - ["CSM - A Distributed Programming Language", S. Zhongxiu et al, IEEE Trans Soft Eng SE-13(4):497-500 (Apr 1987)].  2006. These presentations were made possible by your financial commitment to physical therapy research and to the future of the profession:
