Background

ACMICPC is a programming contest sponsored by IBM (http://www.ibm.com) and organized by the National ACM (http://www.acm.org). It is an annual event that is a lot of fun and very educational.

ACMICPC stands for Association for Computing Machinery International Collegiate Programming Contest. And is a contest of programming skill, as the name suggests. The contest is divided into two stages: Regionals and Finals. Winning teams from the regional contests go on to the finals to win grand prizes!

OSU teams have participated in this contest for several years. This year, with the departments help, three teams will be going to Seattle in November for the Pacific Northwest Regional Competition.

If you would like to participate in the future or simply would like more information please contact Mark. If you would like see what kind of problems are on the contest, or try to solve these problems in a contest simulated conditions, visit http://acm.uva.es
