2011 APL Programming Contest is OpenDyalog has the pleasure of announcing the start of the 2011 edition of our International APL Programming Contest. The deadline for submissions this year is August 14th, 2011. The terms and conditions, and the tasks to be solved can be found at: http://www.dyalog.com/contest_2011 The First Prize winner can look forward to US$2,500 plus a round trip travel from anywhere in the world to the Dyalog '11 Conference in Boston Massachusetts, USA, during October 2-5 2011. In addition to the grand prize, second and third prizes will be awarded with US$1,200 and US$600 respectively and a further 20 contestants will receive $100 each. Additionally, the people or organisations that introduce the winning students to the contest will receive the same dollar prizes – and they need not be students to make the introduction. This means that you (or if you prefer, your institution) will receive an amount equal to any prizes won by students that you have referred to the competition. The purpose of the contest is specifically to encourage students and others to investigate APL; the organisers hope that participants will find that exposure to APL broadens their horizons and adds a new tool to their toolbox. A fully featured copy of the latest release of Dyalog APL is available free of charge to students, whether or not they wish to participate in the contest. Students of other disciplines than Computer Science are also encouraged to participate: many of the most successful APL users have backgrounds in other sciences, and have found APL to be a “Tool of Thought†for expressing solutions to problems in a wide variety of fields. Last year, the competition was won by Ryan Tarpine, a computational biologist from Brown University. We would like to thank Ryan again this year, he has been instrumental in designing the 2011 problem set, and as a result we believe that the contest this year has the most interesting (and varied) set of tasks to date. A total of US$12,600 in prize money has been provided by several sponsors, including US-based Fiserv, Italian based APL Italiana, Danish based SimCorp and UK-based Dyalog Ltd., as well as several anonymous individuals and companies.
