Imagine Cup 2006 is LIVE!
OK, for a starter, there will be only 6 category...
Software Design
Requires custom web service, .NET Framework 2.0, and using Visual Studio to develop. Final deadline May 5, 2006, tapi tergantung Microsoft Indonesia untuk local finalnya. Penilaian kurang lebih sama dengan IC 2005. Remember: Application Executable is on of the deliveries. Jadi jangan submit aplikasi yang belum jadi... :D
IT
This is basically a test on developing, deploying, and maintaining IT system (network, database, server). Round 1 starts Feb 6, 2006.
Short Film and Algorithm
Kurang lebih sama dengan IC 2005, and I think the title is self-descriptive. Both begins early February 2006.
Project Hoshimi
This is basically a test of algorithm and strategy. Create an Artificial Intelligence system specific to a task, and compare it head-to-head with your friend/rival!
Interface Designer
This is the new category! One thing, this category requires Acrylic, the new Graphic Design application dari Microsoft! “Creativity and Usability“ is the key here. Terkadang kita melupakan aspek user interface yang cukup penting dalam sebuah aplikasi. Deliverable dari kategori ini adalah sebuah UI dari aplikasi imajiner.
The overall theme is “Imagine a world where technology enables us to live healthier lives.” Untuk Imagine Cup 2006, lebih terasa aspek artistiknya dibandingkan teknik. Ayo ke India! :D
