By Sophia Lucero (http://sofimi.i.ph)
Teams from the UP Diliman Department of Computer Science garnered first and third place in the local finals of Microsoft ImagineCup 2005, held at the Eugenio Lopez Activity training facility in Antipolo last June 7 and 8.
UPTeam2, the winning team, to be coached by TJ Vergel de Dios, will represent the Philippines in the world finals in Yokohama, Japan, this July 27 to August 1.
An annual programming competition for undergraduate students this time with the theme “Imagine a world where technology dissolves the boundaries between us,” the IC2005 local finals narrowed the competition down to three - two from UP, and one from Ateneo.
UPTeam1 (Kristine Marie Dario, Elmira Gay Sto. Domingo, Jeffrey Louie Quiambao, Jocelyn Mae Villaraza) developed iSchool, a web service inspired by UP’s UVLE, while UPTeam2 (Kristina Jane Baylon, Jon Eric Cantos, Rhea Therese Lucas, Sarah Kristine Roxas) came up with Vulcan, a customizable web application based on the Six Degrees of Separation principle.
