More Programming Competitions!
by jasn 02 Sep '12

02 Sep '12

Hi all, I hope you have had a great summer and had a lot of time to practice for this seasons programming contests! The Danish Championships in programming will be held on the 6th of October. As last year Netcompany will sponsor the event, and there will be food and soda during the contest as well as snacks. After the competition we will go through the problem set while eating pizza and drinking beer/soda (which is also graciously sponsored by Netcompany!) To prepare for this wondrous event there will be some practice sessions. The sessions will take place on mondays between 14.30 and 17.30 where we can hopefully use one of the three rooms Stibitz (117 seems to be available). The first practice session will be on the 10th of September. The practice sessions will continue until the championships and perhaps longer if you are interested :-) Winning the championships will give your team a ticket to NWERC, usually the university will send two teams for this event which is in the Netherlands in November this year. To determine who gets to go, there will be a qualification round where people compete on their own. The qualification is held the saturday before the Danish Championships. More information on this will follow in the coming weeks. We can however already say that three of the six people that were sent last year are now too old to compete, so there is definitely a good chance to qualify yourself! Further reading: http://www.netcompany.com/dm http://ncpc.idi.ntnu.no/ncpc2012/ The registration page for the danish championships will hopefully open soon! If you have any questions feel free to send me an email. Best, Jesper

Programming Contest 21st of April
by jasn 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

Hello everybody! In the past we have participated in the IDI Open programming contest. The contest is hosted at NTNU (Norges teknisk-naturvidenskabelige universitet), and we will have a local site here in Aarhus! Now for the important part: the Computer Science Department will be sponsoring the event by giving pizza and sodas to everybody. The competition will take place in Stibitz 21st of April from 11-16, but be there at 10 to make sure everything works - and perhaps get some tips and tricks. What is a programming competition? You are in a team of 2-3 people and you sit at a computer for 5 hours solving problems (usually algorithmic in nature). Solving means writing a program that reads input (standard in) computes something and produces an output (standard out). The allowed languages are: Java, C and C++. You are not allowed to use the internet during the 5 hours, only your language documentation (java API, c++ reference,...) Information about this contest can be found at http://events.idi.ntnu.no/open12/theindex.php?page=news Here you can see the problems from last year: http://events.idi.ntnu.no/open11/public/idiopen2011problems.pdf How do you sign up? If you already have a team of 2-3 people you can go to http://events.idi.ntnu.no/open12/theindex.php?page=register and sign up. Remember to put "[Aarhus]" as a prefix of your team name, and please send me an email with your team info. If you do not have a team but would like to participate, send me an email and I will try to match you up with others. Remember, we have some big shoes to fill... in 2010 it was a team from Aarhus that won the competition, perhaps another team can repeat the success? There will be a practice session the 4th of April in Stibitz-123 from 14-17. Come by and see what this is all about. If there is an interest in having more sessions, we can figure it out then. If you have any questions, feel free to email me: jasn(a)cs.au.dk Or you can read more information at: http://cs.au.dk/~mgreve/algocomp/ and http://cs.au.dk/~jasn/algocomp/ Best, Jesper

Qualification for NWERC
by jasn 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

Hi all, This year the qualification round will take place in Stibitz-123 the 24th of september. The university usually sends the best two teams to NWERC (6 people in total). For more information about NWERC check out http://www.nwerc.eu/ You are able to attend NWERC if you started your education in 2007 or later or you are born in 1988 or later. There are special circumstances where you will still be able to attend, for more information check the above link under rules. The qualification is like any other competition except it is individual. The rules are that you can bring as many books as you can carry but you are not allowed to use code already on the machines - you are of course allowed to bring books/paper that contain working code. Note, that this event is not sponsored so you are to bring your own food, water and whatever candy you might want during the competition. We are running a local judge system (DOMjudge) this year, which means we would like to know who will be attending so that we can prepare as much as possible before the day of the competition. Please send me an email if you wish to attend or have any questions. Regards, Jesper

14 Mar '11

Hi all, Another programming competition is upon us! This time it is IDI open 2011, which is held on April 2nd. We plan on participating in this contest, and if enough people are willing to spend a saturday solving algorithmic problems we will get pizzas and soda for lunch sponsored by the institute. We usually meet in the Stibitz building for contests. You can read about the contest here: http://events.idi.ntnu.no/open11/theindex.php?page=news This competition is a team competition, which means you sit together 2-3 people at one computer and solve the problems given. We have been talking about having a few practice sessions before the competition so that you can get a feel for what kind of problems you are to solve during the competition and get familiar with the setting. If you are interested in participating, either in the competition or practicing, or have any questions please send me an email. Even if you do not have a team yet, send me an email and I'll try to put you in contact with others who do not have a team yet either. In case you decide to sign up yourself, remember to put "[Århus]" as the first part of your team name. Hope to hear from you soon! Best, Jesper

Træning Q4
by Jana Kunert 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Hej folkens Vi vil gerne gå i gang med træning igen... Sidste gang var der flere, som ikke havde tid tirsdag og derfor har vi oprettet en doodle nu: http://doodle.com/rwbh54tnt463dhtu Svar gerne inden på SØNDAG, hvilke dage I kan komme - så kan vi tage den dag, hvor de fleste har tid og starte i næste uge. Det bliver kl. 14-17 i Stibitz igen, men siden den er rimelig booket kan vi nok ikke være i 113 eller 123. Hvis man ikke vil sidde med en af Windows-maskinerne i Stibitz, er man venligst opfordret til at tage sin egen laptop med ;) Hvis I kender folk, som ikke står på mailinglisten, men måske er interesserede, så er I meget velkommen til at sprede budskabet. Jo flere svar vi får, jo bedre kan vi tage hensyn til, hvornår folk har tid =) Håber vi ses snart igen Jana
