Notre Dame Finishes Ninth at Computer Programming Contest    

Two teams of Notre Dame students competed in the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) International Collegiate Programming Contest on Saturday, November 5, 2005.  The ACM Programming Contest is a competition in which students are given eight complex, real-world problems.  Notre Dame competes in the East Central North American Regional in which there are four contest sites.  The East Central North American Region consists of teams from Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, western Pennsylvania, and eastern Ontario. 

The Irish Blue team — senior Andy Magee, junior Jeff Smith, and sophomore Dan Dugovic — placed ninth out of 113 teams in the Ashland section of the regional. A two-person team with no previous programming experience, Irish Gold team — sophomores Ben Keller and Pavan Sadarangani — placed 56th. Ray Sepeta was the faculty advisor for both teams.

The ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest began in 1970 at Texas A&M University to assist in the development of top students in the field of computer science. Since then, it has expanded to other countries and now includes 4,109 teams from six continents. It is the oldest and most prestigious programming contest of its kind.

Each team consists of three members who work together on one computer to design test beds and build software systems to solve their eight problems. The teams are given a problem statement and example test data. The team that solves the most problems in the fewest attempts and in the least amount of time is the winner. The Irish Blue team’s ninth place finish was based on six correct answers and is the highest university finish since 1999.
