Stony Brook Computer Science Society

This is faculty advisor, Steven Skiena's personal SBCSS page. Be sure to check out the official Stony Brook Computer Science Society page as well.

All undergraduate CS and IS majors are strongly encouraged to join the SBCSS. We run social events, bring in exciting speakers, organize company tours and interviews, and send teams to the annual ACM Programming Contest. Participating in SBCSS is a great way to make things happen, and looks good on a resume.

• Check out the SBCSS message board and news server.
• We participate each each in the ACM programming contest. Our November 2000 teams are pictured above, sponsored by Salomon Smith Barney (now Citigroup CIB).
• In Spring 2001, we will offer a new 3 credit course CSE 390: Programming Challenges to help train people for future competitions. See the following sample problems and send me email if you are interested in participating.
• We are in the process of chartering a Stony Brook chapter of Upsilon Pi Epsilon, the Computer Science Honor Society. See our chapter constitution. Hopefully the first inductions will happen in Spring 2000.
• See this archive of contest problems from around the world. The official contest site is here.
• A good article on preparing for the ACM contest is here. The USA Computing Olympiad has an on-line training course.
