Training of the Carnegie Mellon Teams for the ACM Programming Competition

We will describe our approach to training the Carnegie Mellon teams for the regional and international programming competitions. We have developed this approach in the last five years, and it has helped improve the team performance and gradually move from the bottom 30% to the top 30% in the ACM international competitions. All training materials that we have used are available on the web at www.cs.cmu.edu/~eugene/teach.
