Gary Turovsky ACM President From gturov2 at uic.edu Mon Apr 6 10:01:00 2009 From: gturov2 at uic.edu (Gary Turovsky) Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2009 10:01:00 -0500 Subject: [Acm-announce] Next ACM meeting is Thursday (4/9) at 5:30pm in SEO 1000 Message-ID: <82BFE7FB-B613-49DF-9490-7B9950AC7B64@uic.edu> Hello, The next ACM meeting will be held this Thursday at 5:30pm in SEO 1000. The talk will be about the Satisfiability Problem (called SAT, for short) and will be given by Dr. John Lillis. The Satisfiability Problem can be stated as follows: given a boolean formula, does there exist an assignment to the variables such that the formula evaluates to TRUE? SAT is among the most fundamental and heavily studied problems in Computer Science and was the first problem shown to be NP-Complete. It has applications in AI, Automated Planning and verification of electronic systems. It should be a pretty great talk. And, as always, there will be free food and drink. See you all there!

Message-ID: <430D759A-CCA3-441C-A5F9-CF37522613E9@uic.edu> Hey guys, In coordination with the UChicago, Northwestern, DePaul, and IIT ACMs, we'll be taking a trip over to the Google Chicago offices on April 30th (at around 6pm). This event is primarily for those of us who have applied for the Google Summer of Code, but is open to all CS students. We can take about 25 or so people and I don't think we've had that many GSoC applicants. There will be a series of "lightning talks" delivered by Google engineers and students accepted into GSoC. It's a great opportunity to share knowledge and learn about the projects going on at Google. There will also be lots of free food. Since a lot of people from many different schools are coming, there's a form that you should fill out if you're planning on attending. This is merely to keep track of the head count and you don't have to commit to going until a few days before the event. But, the sign ups are first come first serve, so sign up early if you would like to go. To sign up, use this form: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=cGNvZm9LOTBiaFhERFEtdDJBcUlvSVE6MA Gary Turovsky ACM President From bdenne2 at uic.edu Wed Apr 15 16:29:50 2009 From: bdenne2 at uic.edu (Bryanna Denney) Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2009 16:29:50 -0500 Subject: [Acm-announce] Movie Night, officially Message-ID: To make it official, Movie Night Presents: [image: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0b/Matrix_revolutions_ver2.jpg] (then)[image: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b9/Animatrix-DVD.jpg] The schedule will go as follows: Matrix Revolutions will start at 5:00 pm and end around 7:15.
