Welcome to the First Philippine National Inter-Collegiate Programming Competition (ACM ICPC Philippines 2007) hosted by De La Salle Canlubang and organized by the Computing Society of the Philippines (CSP) in cooperation with the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
Fifty teams from 24 schools are vying for the top spot in the ACM ICPC 2007 to be held on Saturday, October 20, 2007 at De La Salle Canlubang in Laguna, Philippines.
Each competing team consists of 3 college/university students. During the contest, each team will try to outsmart each other by solving 6 problems in 3 hours using a computer. The team with the most number of problems solved at the fastest time wins the competition.
The top spots at stake are: First Place (Champion), 2nd Place, and 3rd Place. The top team will be given financial assistance to participate in the 2007 ACM ICPC Asia-Singapore regional contest on December 13-14, 2007. In the Singapore contest, the top teams (usually three) will qualify to the 2008 ACM ICPC World Finals to be held in Alberta, Canada in April 2008.
The ACM ICPC Philippines 2007 is a prestigious event that aims to raise the awareness of the public about the important role of Information Technology in the development of our country and our society. Its objective of bringing together bright and talented young people from different regions of the country to take part in a grueling friendly competition, like a mental olympiad, is very noble.
To all contestants, alternates, coaches, and observers: I hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity to meet and interact with fellow competitors. Thanks to my fellow judges, co-organizers, volunteers and sponsors for making the ACM ICPC Philippines 2007 a success.
Rafael P. Saldaña, Ph.D.
