The 2006 ACM-ICPC World Finals with the Baylor Bear Touch! presented to The School of Engineering & Computer Science Board of Advocates by Dr. William B. Poucher, Ph.D., ACM Fellow Baylor Professor of Computer Science ICPC Executive Director 14 October 2005 Baylor University

From the ICPC Mission For the students: – To represent their universities. – To compete with the best. – To set the highest standards of excellence. – To sharpen and demonstrate their problem- solving, programming, and teamwork skills. For society: – A platform for academia, industry, and ACM to focus public attention on the next generation and the institutions that make the future of IT possible.

The Battle of the Brains – the Competition! Pits teams of three against ten or more complex, real-world problems. Grueling five-hour deadline. Share a single computer. Race against the clock in a battle of logic, strategy, cooperation, and mental endurance.

The Battle of the Brains – Levels of Difficulty! Some of the problems require competence and precision only. Other require advanced algorithms. Some are simply too hard – for all but the world’s brightest problem-solvers.

The Battle of the Brains – Real Problems! Tracking crop disease by satellite. GSM cell phone tower switching. DNA sequencing. USGA golf handicaps. Managing high-rises. Tiling mosaics for artists.
