Hi, ** *Forward this to all your Comp. Sci. friends...* ** *College of Engineering, Guindy* , Anna University, India, established in 1794 is one of the oldest engineering institutions in the world and has proved the adage "Old is Gold" right, time and again, not only by consistently making it to the top-ten engineering institutions in the country, but also by encouraging innovation and out-of the box thinking by its students. It is in celebration of this culture of innovation, that we, the students of College of Engineering, Guindy (CEG) are organizing *"KURUKSHETRA '07" *– a national level inter college technical festival in the month of *January 2007 (Jan 4-7, 2007).*
KURUKSHETRA '07 will house a wide spectrum of technical events spanning over various engineering disciplines, and a plethora of quizzes, puzzles and coding events to add spice, promising to be a true *multi-disciplinary*concoction. And here is an event to find the "real software engineers" !!! It's called *SOFTWARE MODULATION.* Visit the website. Question has been put up (vague specs). Comprehend, register and develop the software with all your imagination.. Jus go ahead and build it as much as you can .. Prizes await!!! -------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------- *S OFTWARE M ODULATION* If you are a creative genius, may be this is the right place to show case your creativity! We seek through this event, to find a "real software engineer", who would empathize. *"To empathize is to see with the eyes of another,* *to hear with the ears of another,* *and to feel with the heart of another."* - *Anonymous English author* But, what does a software engineer have to do with empathy? In ordinary conversation, if we are truly paying attention to what other people are saying, we are empathizing with them. We become personally involved in their feelings and thoughts in order to better understand who they are and what they want or need, and to know how to respond to whatever message they are trying to get across. And it's a fact that much of the software fail to please the customers only because they do not get what they want! ...and here in this event, we seek you to comprehend, empathize and develop software to the given requirements. As simple as that!!! *The Event* Requirements of software will be elicited(is on our website right now) to the participating teams. The teams need to build software comprehending to the requirements. A complete documentation of the software and development is also to be brought. They will be reviewed and will be asked to make changes on site. *Rules * 1. Requirements for the software is in the web site(visit www.kurukshetra.org.in/events/index.html ). No more explanations on this will be given regarding the question. 2. *Mail the following details to [EMAIL PROTECTED] at the soonest possible. * - Team Name : - Team Size (3 to 5): - Team Members Profile: *Name* *Course* *Branch* *College with address * *Email* * * * * * * * * * * - Short description of what (tentative) idea you have to build software with the given requirements, after seeing the question. - (Tentative) List of compiler and other software you are going to use for your software development. 1. Teams need to develop the software and bring it while coming to the event. 2. Team size of 3 to 5. 3. Teams need to prepare documentation (hard and soft copies) for the software. 4. Teams need to prepare a User Manual (hard and soft copies) for the software, if applicable. 5. Teams need to inform (by mail) their software requirements at least one week prior to the event. Post your queries to [EMAIL PROTECTED] *Evaluation Criteria* Evaluation is based on various factors: 1. Adherence to Software Engineering Principles 1. Documentation 2. Design 3. Style of coding 4. Modularity 5. Usability 2. Ease with which changes are made to the software on site 3. Explanation for the life cycle adopted and the team's experience adopting to that life cycle Team Size : 3 to 5 Language of Coding : left to the choice of the participants Programming Environment : left to the choice of the participants -------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOFTWARE MODULATION TEAM, KURUKSHETRA '07 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
