MATLAB Contest
Jun 16th, 2008 by Ned
Every six months I help run a MATLAB programming contest at The MathWorks. This page is a resource for pointing to various references and source materials for the contest.
Here are two papers. The first was a short paper for CHI 2001. The second is a longer paper that appeared in ACM interactions magazine in 2004.
- Patterns of Innovation: A Web-based MATLAB Programming Contest (PDF)
- In Praise of Tweaking: A Wiki-like Programming Contest (html), ACM interactions {Volume 11, Issue 3, (May + June 2004)} http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/986253.986264
The contest itself can be found on MATLAB Central at http://www.mathworks.com/contest/.
Here is some other coverage the contest has received.
- Interview by Jon Udell (see also my post)
- Chapter 6 in Jeff Howe’s book Crowdsourcing touches on the contest (my post here)
Here are the slides for a presentation I gave (along with Karim Lakhani) at the Berkman Center in June (audio and video are available).
you have such a romantic soul… and luckily for us, you’re able to translate that into words so we too, can have a glimpse of your magical world.,lucy
