UW team finishes third in ACM contest finals
WATERLOO, Ont. -- A tradition continues, as a University of Waterloo
team finished among the top 10 in the 26th ACM International Collegiate
Programming Contest held last weekend in Honolulu, Hawaii.
UW's team, made up of three mathematics students, placed third in the
ACM finals, edged out by China's Shanghai JiaoTong University and the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A total of 64 teams from around
the world competed in the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery)
contest, sponsored by IBM.
Just five teams solved six problems (out of nine provided) in the
five-hour contest on Saturday. JiaoTong did it fastest, running up 831
penalty minutes. MIT had 972 minutes and Waterloo had 974. Also solving
six problems were Tsinghua University (of China) and Stanford
University.
UW's team members were undergraduates Graeme Kemkes and Denis Dmitriev,
as well as graduate Ming-Yee Iu. Team coach was Prof. Gordon Cormack, of
computer science, who went to Waikiki Beach with them for the
competition.
This year's third place finish builds on UW's excellent record. "In the
previous nine years, Waterloo has finished no lower than 10th, has been
twice World Champion (1994-95 and 1998-99) and four times North American
Champion," Cormack said.
Second place among Canadian entries in the ACM finals went to the
University of Toronto team, which solved four problems to tie for 18th
place in the contest. For contest results, check:

The finalists -- three-member student teams -- relied on their
programming skills and creativity to solve complex problems using both
traditional and new programming languages.
More than 100,000 of the world's top computer science/engineering
students and faculty from over 1,100 universities around the world
competed last fall in regional contests to qualify for the ACM finals.
UW's team secured its berth by finishing first at the East Central
Regional Contest held last November.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
