Experience sharing for competitive programming contests

Abstract

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) has conducted its International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) on an annual basis since 1970. Internationally competitive student ICPC teams tend to be composed of the best programmers at the top-ranked schools in the world. In the contest, the students are expected to cooperatively analyze the problems with their teammates, select the most tractable problem to produce programs. In this seminar, Prof. Yi has been the coach of the HKUST programming team for many years. He will share his experiences for the competitive programming to our students.
