The 1st Annual CS-Can Student Symposium at McGill University

By Jessica

The student and postdoc advisory committee (SPAC) of Computer Science Canada (CS-Can/Info-Can) is organizing the 1st Annual CS-Can Student Symposium in conjunction with the CS-Can/Info-Can 2019 Annual Meeting on June 2nd-4th at McGill University in Montreal. SPAC is inviting the entire Canadian computer science community (students, faculty and industry) to join them at the 2019 symposium. The symposium will feature a series of inspiring lectures by CS-Can/Info-Can award winners (see the first of the 2018 winners here), a poster session showcasing emerging researchers from every field in computer science and engineering, a set of workshops devoted to addressing challenges facing Canadian computer scientists and engineers (e.g., the under-representation of women and minorities) and a lightning pitch presentation session. 

 There will be three types of lightning pitches: the first two will introduce the upcoming poster and workshop presentations, and the third will provide anyone attending (but not otherwise presenting) with the opportunity to pitch an idea or their work.

What is CS-Can/Info-Can and SPAC?
CS-Can/Info-Can is a national, non-profit society dedicated to representing all aspects of computer science and the interests of the discipline across Canada. SPAC is the student and postdoc advisory committee within CS-Can/Info-Can. Its mission is to foster and represent the community of Canadian Computer Science post-secondary students and postdoctoral fellows. The committee comprises 10-12 elected students and postdocs attending Canadian universities who are working with Computer Science Canada (CS-Can/Info-Can) to advance Canadian computing research, education and innovation. If you are interested in learning more or getting involved, please don't hesitate to visit www.cscan-infocan.ca/spac or get in touch (spac@forum.cscan-infocan.ca).

GSA SPARK 2020

By Jessica
  GSA SPARK Join us in the fight against SPARK!   In GSA Capital’s boardroom sits SPARK — a decades-old blade server, entombed forever in acrylic to be displayed as a proud reminder of GSA’s journey.   SPARK was an invaluable step toward the sophisticated algorithms in use today, but was retired from active trading and destined never to be booted up again.    But last night, through a series of unfortunate errors, the server was reconnected to GSA’s internal network. In the decades spent sitting on the boardroom shelf its algorithms have warped beyond recognition. SPARK now has a conscience of its own...   Compete to win prizes! Compete with other students in a race to shut SPARK down before it finds a way to dominate every electronic trading market in the world.   For 21 days a range of exciting daily prizes will be on offer to those brave enough to take on SPARK in a series of fiendishly difficult challenges. The contestant deemed to have been most i...
