Programming can help students achieve more in their studies and allow faculty and staff to make light of repetitive and routine tasks, but many shy away from programming because learning to code can seem daunting.
The 2018 International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), held this year in Tsukuba, Japan, is an annual competitive programming competition for secondary school students and consists of two days of computer programming and algorithmic problem-solving.
Joey Yu, a graduate of Thornhill Secondary School and now a first-year student in the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science, finished 26th in the gruelling contest, earning a gold medal.
One often-heard complaint is that academics labour away in their ivory towers, divorced from happenings in the real world. A few years ago, Professor Semih Salihoglu of the Data Systems Group at the University of Waterloo's Cheriton School of Computer Science noticed exactly this for graph processing.
Computers can now learn to solve networking problems for themselves, a study from the University of Waterloo has found.
On Friday, September 28 we will launch the new Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute.
The Institute brings together under one umbrella Waterloo’s 40 security researchers from across the University. These renowned experts are collaborating to uncover new approaches to security and privacy while also partnering with corporations and government to advance the application and implementation of cybersecurity and privacy technologies.
Professors John Brzozowski and Lila Kari, Bai Li (BCS 2017) and their colleague Marek Szykuła from the University of Wrocław in Poland have received the Sheng Yu Award for best paper at CIAA 2018, the 23rd International Conference on Implementation and Applications of Automata.
Four first-year students finding their way to campus this September will be doing so with an extra spring in their step — one worth between $80,000 and $100,000.
