CCSCNE Computing Contest
April 16--17 2010
For the past three years, Fisher has participated in the computing contest run by the CCSCNE,
Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges — Northeastern Region. We have always done at
least respectably well and one year we had a very high finish (fourth out of over 30 teams).
This year the conference will be held at:
University of Hartford
April 16--17, 2010
Hartford, CT

In order to help the members of the team prepare, Dr. Wildenberg
will run “coaching sessions” once a week
during the Spring semester. These sessions will provide an opportunity to work on interesting and
challenging programming problems. This year, for the first time, active participants in the coaching
sessions can receive 1 credit in Computer Science.
If you participate as one of the three members of the Fisher team, the college will pay all your
expenses (motel, meals, entry fees) for the visit to Worcester. In addition to the programming
contest, there are other conference activities (talks) which you can optionally attend and, usually,
an opportunity to pick up some free goodies (books, software, hardware).
If you are not a programmer but think you can contribute as an algorithm designer (MATH majors, take note),
your participation is most welcome and you could well end up as a team member.
For information, please contact Dr. Wildenberg.
