2. Outline
Background
Cooperating Programming Contest Training with Education
Future Work

3. Background Programming’s Role:
Implementation Technologies for Information Society
Programming Contests
A large number of programming contests’ problems
for programming contest training
for education

4. Programming Programming’s Role
fundamental courses for computer science and technologies
Data Structure + Algorithm = Program
Informatization
Big Data, AI, ……
Programming technology is the implementation technology for information society.

5. Programming Contests
From 1990s, ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ACM- ICPC) has become a world-wide programming contest.
Now 6 continents, 111 countries, 49,935 students, 5,411 coaches and 3,098 universities participate in local contests, preliminary contests and regional contests all over the world.
Alongside, some international programming contests, such as Google Code Jam, TopCoder Open Algorithm, Facebook Hacker Cup, Internet Problem Solving Contest (IPSC), and so on, are held every year.

6. Programming Contests’ Problmes
Programming Contests are “Contests Solving Problems by Programming”.
Programming contest problems can be used not only for programming contest training, but also for education, to polish students’ programming skill solving problems better.

7. Cooperating Programming Contest Training with Education
Publishia book series for collegiate programming contests and education and constructing courses based on the series;
Setting up a system organizing systematic programming training and improving programming education cross region.

11. Algorithm Design Practice : for Collegiate Programming Contests and Education (English Version). CRC Press ISBN

12. Ideas for the book series
A Programming Contestant’s Knowledge System
“Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs”.
the foundation for knowledge system of computer science and engineering
Programming Strategies Solving Problems
strategies for data modeling and algorithm design
problems are not problems of standard modes

13. Features of the Book Series
Outlines are based on the outlines of data structure and algorithms.
Programming contest problems and their analyses and solutions are used as Experiments.
For each chapter, there is a section “Problems” to let students solve programming contests’ problems, and hints for these problems are also showed.

14. Features of the Book Series
Problems in the book are all selected from the ACM-ICPC regional and world finals programming contests, universities’ local contests, and online contests, from 1990 to now.
Not only analyses and solutions, or hints to problems are showed, but also test data for most of problems are provided. Sources and IDs for Online Judge for these problems are also provided.
Students’ polishing their programming skills better and more easily.

15. Features of the Book Series
Programmng is a Technology.

16. University of Toronto (Canada), Prof. Daniel Zingaro：
peer review
University of Toronto (Canada), Prof. Daniel Zingaro：
“I got a lot of use out of your first book and hope that this second book is just as useful !”
Daffodil International University (Bangladesh), Dean of Dept. of Computer, Prof. Syed Akhter Hossain：
“All my students are using your book already and we are planning the Bengali version as we discussed. I will post you updates.”

29. International Joint Lab for Programming Technologies (IJLPT)
a system organizing systematic programming training cross region
International Joint Lab for Programming Technologies (IJLPT)
IJLPT operates based on ACM-ICPC Asia Training League.
Organizing programming training, and offering series-related courses.
Several Universities in ACM-ICPC Asia Training League (International Joint Lab for Programming Technologies) will become the training centers for programming, and the exam centers for online courses.

30. ACM-ICPC International Joint Lab for Programming Technologies (IJLPT)
In June 2018, Ningxia Center for ACM-ICPC IJLPT was established at NXIST.

31. The Future Plan
To develop and popularize ACM-ICPC International Joint Lab for Programming Technologies (IJLPT) based on the ACM-ICPC network, not only in Asia, but also in the world;
To construct online English courses for “Data Structure Practice: for Collegiate Programming Contests and Education” and “Algorithm Design Practice: for Collegiate Programming Contests and Education”
To improve the book series for collegiate programming contests and education.
