First Call for your Contributions
!!! The call is closed. Results are
here !!!
You are kindly invited to participate in a "Twelve puzzle"
contest - the biggest event of the spring term 2004.
Make your knowledge of evolutionary algorithms work. Try
your ability to transfer your knowledge into practice.
Prove yourself as a skillful programmer.
What ?
Write a program to solve a
"Twelve puzzle" problem
(a problem of filling up a planar figure with a
set of pieces). Prepare and
submit a web page describing your solution.
Who ?
Everyone is eligible.
Participation is compulsory for
all senior students (normally 4th year of study) from
the Department of Cybernetics and Artificial Intelligence,
Technical University of Kosice, taking the course on
Evolutionary algorithms in the spring term 2004.
How ?
Your solution is expected to match the following limitations:
- is based on the theory of evolutionary algorithms
- is runnable on the Linux/*BSD operating system
- is able to read a definition of a particular problem
from a file (using a given
input format)
- produces its result as a file (using a given
output format)
Your program will be provided with a set of different
problems (a set of different planar figures). Each submitted
program will be scored according to the number of figures
solved by this program. The winner will be the one with
the best score (to break the tie, an elapsed time will be
used).
When ?
The contest is expected to be held on May 20, 2004. You must
supply your solution before the day of contest.
