===============================================
The Shortest Universal Turing Machine Implementation Contest
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
23 Dec - 2008
http://www.mathrix.org/experimentalAIT/TuringMachine.html
===============================================
Contest Overview
=============
In the spirit of the busy beaver competition though related to program-
size complexity, we are pleased to announce the "Shortest Universal
Turing Machine Implementation Contest".
The contest is open-ended and open to anyone. To enter, a competitor
must submit a universal machine implementation with smaller size
values than the latest record published on the web page.
In order to take part in this competition it is necessary to submit
the source code, to be compiled using the compiler program and
version specified above. It is important that you provide
documentation of your code, either in an attached file or as commented
text in the source code file.
Each submitter must agree to be bound and abide by the rules.
Submissions remain the sole property of the submitter(s), but should
be released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) so we may be
permitted to make them available on this web site for downloading and
executing.

Team composition
=============
Players may enter alone or as teams of any size. Anyone is eligible to
enter. Non-Turing machine implementations are also encouraged (as long
they are Turing-complete).
Subscribe to the Newsletter
=============
We have a mailing list that we will use to keep participants informed
of news about the contest. You can subscribe to this mailing list at
