GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1. Mission of the Institute The Institute of Computer Science is one of the six institutes at the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology, Warsaw University of Technology. This is one of a few academic institutions in Poland with the longest tradition in computer research & development as well as education. Its history goes back to the year 1953 when the Division of Communications and Radio Equipment was established at the Faculty of Communications (so was called our Faculty then). In 1960, the Division has designed and built one of the first industrial-produced electronic computers in Poland, called UMC1. In 1970 the Division was transformed into Institute for Construction of Mathematical Machines. Finally, in 1975 the Institute was given its present name. From the very beginning up to 1978 the Division and then Institute was headed by the late Professor Antoni Kiliński. In 1997 his professional contribution to the field was posthumously honoured with “Computer Pioneer Medal” awarded by IEEE Computer Society. Many former staff members of the Institute are employed by well known universities in USA, Europe and Australia. The main activities of the Institute are teaching of undergraduate and graduate computer science students as well as research R&D projects in the field of computer science. The Institute’s main research areas include computer graphics, information systems, computer systems’ architectures, dependable computing and software engineering. These research and teaching areas have influenced the organisation of the Institute: its staff is subdivided into three divisions that are characterised later on in more detail. Each division performs research projects under grants from the Polish State Committee for Scientific Research or from the University itself, from other sources (e.g., EU Programmes) as well as the R&D projects supported by commercial companies and institutions. Each division has a dedicated set of computer facilities used for research and in advanced students’ projects and diploma theses. In addition to these three laboratories and their specialised equipment and software, the Institute also has a common Computer Laboratory, which provides system resources, know-how and the organisational framework for the teaching process. Teaching in the field of computing and computers has started early in 60's, so that the first few M.Sc. degrees in Computer Science were granted in 1962. From then on, the regular curricula in the field have been proposed with up to 80 students graduating each year. Over and above the teaching of undergraduate and graduate daytime Computer Science students, the Institute is involved in several other forms of continuing education. Our staff gives courses in Electrical and Computer Engineering in English. Since 1995 the Institute of Computer Science has been running Evening Undergraduate Studies in Computer Engineering, with their own curriculum approved by the authorities of the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology. From 1999 on, the graduate level of evening studies is provided and in 2001 there were first M.Sc. degrees granted. Also, since 1990 the Institute has organised (together with the Faculty’s Institute of Telecommunications) a study for postgraduate students which offer courses in computer science, telecommunications and system management, called CITCOM. In 1994 the Institute’s postgraduate studies on computer science for high school teachers have been organized. They are hold continuously up till now. In 2004 the Institute set up a new branch of these studies dedicated to postgraduate students who are not teachers. In 2008, 58 persons were employed in the Institute of Computer Science, including 41 scholars (9 professors, 24 assistant professors with a Ph.D. degree, 1 assistant and 7 senior lecturers). The remaining employees are the engineers, laboratory and office staff. 4 Annual Report 2008 of the Institute of Computer Science 1.2. Noteworthy events in '08 On June 6th a final competition of the 4th edition of venture called University Ernst&Young took place at the Intercontinental Hotel in Warsaw. The students' team comprised of Paweł Łaciński, Jarosław Łącki, Dariusz Sadowski and Piotr Wieleba representing Institute of Computer Science within the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology at Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) came second in this contest. A team from Warsaw University (Institute of Informatics at Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics) came first. Institute of Computer Science (Warsaw University of Technology) provides courses for University of the Third Age (organised by Democratic Society EAST). The courses are placed in Computer Laboratory. The course covers: secure use of PC, Windows-base operating system, office applications (text editors), secure use of internet, multimedia application. Original programme of the course is adapted to students ability and needs. In 2008 there were 3 courses (10x 1hour) for 50 students. On 16th December 2008 representatives of Student Council of the Faculty for Electronics and Information Technology handed Golden Chalk Award to Professor Mieczysław Muraszkiewicz, as the best lecturer. The programming contests are organized at national and international level. International Collegiate Programming Contest traces its roots to competition held in 1970. Now it is organized under auspices of Association for Computing Machinery. The competition held in Poland is called Academic Championships in Collegiate Programming (Akademickie Mistrzostwa Polski w Programowaniu Zespołowym) and has been organized for 12 years. The rules for national and international contest are very similar. Students of our faculty participate in both contests. This year the Academic Championships in Collegiate Programming were held in Poznań (26-27 October) and ACM Central Europe Programming Contest in Prague (9-11 November). Our team competed with the teams from Austria, Czech Republic, Croatia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary and Poland. A local (at faculty level) programming contest has been organized for five years in order to form a team which competes in national and international contests. The faculty programming contest was held on 18 October at the beginning of academic year. The participants tried to solve a set of 4 algorithmic problems within 3 hours time. The solutions were implemented in C/C++ language. The final rank was based on number of accepted solutions and time needed to solve the problems. Local faculty contest (in polish) www site is available at following address: galera.ii.pw.edu.pl/konkurs/ The faculty programming contest is organized by the staff members of Institute of Computer Science Andrzej Pająk and Zbigniew Szymański and with support of PHD student Andrzej Dominik who has created the software used during the contest.
