Mabuhay!
Welcome to the 2010 ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest-- 4th Philippine National Programming Competition, hosted by Ateneo de Manila University.
The ACM ICPC 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 countries to take part in a grueling friendly competition, like a mental Olympiad, is quite noble.
This is the fourth ACM national programming competition organized by the Computing Society of the Philippines in collaboration with the ACM. The first national contest was held in 2007 in De La Salle - Canlubang, the second was held in the University of San Jose-Recoletos (Basak Campus) in 2008, and the third was held in Ateneo de Manila University in 2009.
To all participants and coaches, I hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity to meet and interact with your fellow competitors from all over the Philippines. I also hope that you will also enjoy your stay at the Ateneo de Naga University.
Finally, I would like to thank the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the Computing Society of the Philippines (CSP) and Ateneo de Naga University. I would also like to thank my co-organizers, judges, volunteers, and our sponsors for making the 2010 ACM ICPC Philippine National Programming Contest a success.

ICT For Development: Notes on Poverty and Poverty Alleviation in the Philippines
.
Link to blogpost: http://raffysaldana.blogspot.com/2010/03/ict-for-development-notes-on-poverty.html
Note: I am currently involved in a project dealing with poverty reduction in one of the poorest regions of the world.
Starting today (March 19, 2010) I would like to write a series on "Poverty and Poverty Alleviation in the Philippines"
Part I. Notes on Poverty in the Philippines
Source: Poverty in the Philippines: Causes, Constraints, and Opportunities by the Asian Development Bank 2009
"Poverty and inequality have been recurrent challenges in the Philippines and have again come to the fore in the wake of the current global financial crisis and rising food, fuel, and commodity prices experiend in 2008."
Current Profile of Poverty in the Country
------------------------------------------------
* Poverty incidence among households increased from 24.4% in 2003 to 26.9% in 2006
* The number of poor families (households) increased from 4.0 million in 2003 to 4.7 million in 2006.
* The headcount index increased from 30.0% in 2003 to 32.9% in 2006
* The number of poor people increased from 23.8 million in 2003 to 27.6 million in 2006.
* According to the 2006 poverty data, Mindanao has the highest poverty incidence at 38.8% but Luzon has the highest number of poor families, with almost 2 million families (42.4% of the total).
* Self-rated poverty has ranged from 50% to 52% for most of the 2008, peaking at 59% (an estimated 10.6 million people) in the second quarter.
*Inequality has also been persistent over the years. Although the Gini coefficient improved to 0.4580 in 2006 from 0.4605 in 2003 and 0.4872 in 2000, the level of inequality remains hign compared with other countries in Asia has hardly changed for more tha 20 years.
*High inequality has limited the impact of economic growth on proverty reduction.

Introduction
Agent-Based Social Simulation is a relatively new social science research method. It allows social phenomena to be investigated by studying dynamic processes in computational models of populations. Social simulation complements existing social science research methods and builds on empirical findings and theories of social phenomena. Applications of social simulation range from the study of basic demographic processes to uses in a range of interdisciplinary research areas such as public health, urban studies or criminology, to name a few examples.
Social scientists as well as other professionals such as policy makers have used various methods in the past to model social phenomena and generate predictions about them. At its simplest, one can extrapolate from empirical data by fitting functions that approximate the data gathered. In the past, a key limitation for such extrapolations was that the underlying model was a static one, defined in terms of mathematical formulas that could be manipulated manually. The necessary simplifying assumptions often meant that the applicability and the predictive power of these models was limited. The advent of computers and their increasing capacity has made it possible to build models that consist of representations of social agents and their environment and to simulate their behaviour and interactions.
Such agent based models (ABMs) are still limited by the capacity and processing speed of today's computer systems. It is now possible to simulate relatively large populations with a reasonable number of variables even on a desktop computer. However, to study social phenomena it is often necessary to run multiple simulations that vary specific variables in order to study their impact. Such parameter studies can be relatively easily distributed across a number of computers using grid technologies. Each instance of a simulation run with a specific set of parameters can be sent to a different machine in a grid, with all the machines working in parallel to produce an overall result.
Aims
This tutorial aims to provide an introduction to the principles behind social simulation and to demonstrate these principles by teaching participants how to develop a social simulation model and running a simulation using the Repast Simphony Toolkit. Building and running this model will involve the creation of a model population on the basis of freely available social science datasets. In order to investigate hypotheses or to test the impact of policy interventions of real-world events, it is often necessary to run ensembles of simulation jobs. Running such ensembles is most effectively done on high throughput computing infrastructures such as grids or clouds. Participants will learn about grids and clouds and will start using them by submitting ensembles of the models on real-world infrastructures.
