Dr. Bruce Draper and Elaine Regelson were honored by Students and Leaders in Science as Outstanding Mentors in the Field of Computer Science. The awards ceremony was held on December 7. CS graduate student Kyriakos Chatzidimitriou and team Mertacor won 3rd place in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) game at the international Trading Agent Competition (TAC). The competition is an annual event held in conjunction with major AI conferences like AAMAS and IJCAI. This year, Kyriakos was co-designer and co-developer of the agent.

The
ACM had a great fall semester! Our proudest events included the annual
CS Department/ACM picnic and softball game. Students and teachers met
to eat burgers grilled by Ross Beveridge. This year, for the first time
ever, the graduate students and faculty beat the undergrads in the
softball game!
ACM also hosted
Computer Science
Jeopardy, sponsored by OCI. Thirty students on 10 different teams and
many spectators showed up. The Rams team, consisting of Barve Saurabh,
Tejkiran Balijepalli, and Prakash Subramanian won, and each took home
and IPod as first prize.
