Title: Computational Algebraic Intelligence in STEM
Description: Development and application of computer algebraic tools for automatically creating coordinate systems in a science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) application area in a finite discrete-event system models. Artificial algebraic intelligence provides novel methods for AI systems to understand and hierarchically manipulate (e.g. autonomously generating strategies for solving a permutation puzzle like Rubik's cube). Subprojects include algorithmic, applications, and/or interface programming work.
Other information or restrictions: Strong programming ability in a higher level language, and experience with scripting languages. Excellent English spoken and writing skills. Strong mathematical aptitude required, familiarity with discrete mathematics/graph theory/finite automata highly desirable as background. Suitable for strong Math/CS/Eng/Science students with suitable interests and background.

Title: Asynchronous Interaction Machines
Description: Programming and visualization of synchronously and asynchronously updated cellular automata and interaction machines (automata networks that grow and change their topologies in response to interactions/events, with recursive hierarchical structure).
Other information or restrictions: Excellent programming ability in higher level programming languages (e.g. python, java, functional and string processing languages). Previous experiences with visualization/graphical user interface design. Excellent mathematical and algorithmic skills/aptitude. Excellent spoken and written English skills. Suitable for strong Math/CS/Eng/Science students with suitable interests and background.

CS/Data Science/Digital Hardware option transfers NOW OPEN

The CS Undergraduate Advising Office has opened applications for CS transfers for Fall 2017. The online application is available at https://oat.uwaterloo.ca/forms and will be open from Tuesday, December 5 until Sunday, December 31, 2017, at 11.59 p.m. We're accepting applications for: Transfer from Math to CS - at a minimum, must have taken CS 136 or be taking it in Fall 2017. Transfer from CS to BCS (Data Science) - must have taken STAT 231 or be taking it in Fall 2017. Transfer from CS to CS/Digital Hardware Adding a Joint CS to an out-of-faculty plan Transfer from outside of Math to CS (pending approval from Math) Answers to common questions about the transfer process can be found in the CS FAQs (particularly #2 and #151).

GSA SPARK 2020

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...
