Organizing a team for the ACM programming contest (abstract)

Abstract

Purpose: Participation in the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest has steadily grown over the past several years, to the point where nearly 600 teams from all over the world annually enter the sixteen regional competitions. How institutions prepare teams for the regional contests vary flom school to school; only in the last few years have universities started to formally exchange information concerning their organizational methods. This tutorial discusses how it is done at two specific universities.
