COMPETING FOR TOP CODE HONOURS

摘要

Beverly hills, Calif. ― They may be in Hollywood, but star gazing is the last thing University of New Brunswick team members have in mind at the 27th ACM International Collegiate Programming contest, sponsored by IBM. It's a Monday night at the Beverly Hilton, and they're gearing up for the big competition the following morning. It's practice, practice, practice, something the team knows has brought it further than UNB has ever come before in this contest. Because ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) competitions in North America do not keep Canada and the U.S. separate, UNB actually stacked up against Boston's Harvard University and had the opportunity to eliminate the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to make it to the world finals.
