EmpiricalAlgorithmics < BETA

---+ Empirical Algorithmics in BETA

One of the BETA research areas is Empirical Algorithmics. Of course many computer scientists rely on empirical methods for testing and validating their work. Faculty at UBC who work explicitly on empirical algorithmics include:
   * [[http://cs.ubc.ca/~hoos][Holger Hoos]]
   * [[http://cs.ubc.ca/~ajh][Alan Hu]]
   * [[http://cs.ubc.ca/~kevinlb][Kevin Leyton-Brown]]
   * [[http://cs.ubc.ca/~mack][Alan Mackworth]]

This page contains resources for students working on Empirical Algorithmics in the BETA lab with these faculty.

---++ Useful Group Resources

The Arrow cluster is available for students working on empirical algorithmics. To learn more:
   * [[SunGridEngine][Using Sun Grid Engine]]
   * [[SunGridEngineAdmin][Administering Sun Grid Engine]]
   * [[http://arrow.cs.ubc.ca/ganglia/?c=Arrow&m=&r=hour&s=descending&hc=4][Check the cluster status]]

Help with commonly-used software:
   * [[Cplex][CPLEX]] Optimization Software
   * [[Matlab]], especially how to use it on the cluster
   * [[LaTeX]] tips and tricks
   * [[CVS]], and using the !TortoiseCVS client for Windows
   * [[Java + MySQL]], connecting to a MySQL database using Java
   
---++ Empirical Algorithmics Reading Group (EARG)

At the moment, the EARG web page lives at http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~hutter/EARG.shtml.
