ON INFORMATICS

YEREVAN, August 24 (Noyan Tapan). The 16th International Olympiad on
Informatics (IOI) will be held in Athens on September 11-18. Four
Armenian students will also participate in the Olympiad.

Representatives of 80 countries, including Russia, Italy, France,
Germany, Austria and the United States will participate in the
Olympiad this year, as in the previous years.

The Olympiad, which is held every year, is, in essence, the
competition of programming. It was first held in Bulgaria in
1989. This year the “Altec” world-famed company and the “Intel”
corporation are the sponsors of the Olympiad. It is expected that the
2005 international Olympiad will be held in Poland.
