Create | Solve | Innovate | Compete

The IEEE Computer Society North America Student Challenge provides a platform for students from all over North America to create innovative solutions to real-world big data problems. For this year’s competition, each student OR team (max. three students) is required to present a solution to a pre-determined problem/issue statement.

Potential Challenges

Computing infrastructure usage analysis. Analyze traces of usage of production computer clusters to predict certain patterns in unseen data.
LLM prediction power. Learn how to train an LLM to make accurate predictions.
Cloud computing workloads. Analyze a production cloud computing workload to predict what future workload patterns will look like.

Winning Teams will present their solutions at IEEE Big Data in Washington, DC, from 15-18 December 2024.

Submissions will be evaluated based on quantitative performance in predicting events in an unseen dataset, an oral presentation given by the teams to a team of international judges, and the novelty of the solution. The three winning teams will be awarded at IEEE Big Data, with expenses paid by the IEEE Computer Society.

Registration is now closed.
