Sept. 15 - Register Now for SBU ACM-Style Coding Contest

 

CS Professor and Programming Team Coach Rezaul Chowdhury is thrilled to announce that with the help of the Stony Brook Computer Science Society, the department is holding a local ACM-style Coding Contest on Tuesday, September 15, 2015. Here are the event details:      

 

Date:      September 15, 2015

 

Location:  Room 2129 of Old Computer Science Building

 

Time:      7:00 -  7:30PM -- warmup  and 7:30 - 10:30PM -- competition

 

Each participant must compete alone (this is not a team contest), and will get 5/6 algorithmic problems to solve within the given time limit.  Prizes will be awarded to the top finisher in each of the three categories: 

 

(1) Juniors (for first- and second-year undergrads), 

(2) Seniors (for third- and fourth-year undergrads), and 

(3) Grads (for first- and second-year graduate students).

 

The goal is to identify the top candidates for our ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) teams, which will participate in the Greater New York Regional Contest (Nov 8, 2015) for a slot in the ACM World Finals 2016 (May 15-20, 2016).
