Concepts, Terminology, and Notations for IOI Competition Tasks

In this document, we classify concepts, terminology and notations with respect to their usability in IOI competition tasks. We distinguish three usability classes: basic knowledge (can be used without further ado), to-be-defined (can be used, but must be defined explicitly), and to-be-avoided (must not be used). The classification primarily concerns the use in task descriptions, which are presented to contestants at the beginning of the competition. But it also concerns solutions handed out after the competition. This classification can benefit both organizers and participants in their preperations for an IOI competition.

Guidelines for IOI Competitions (working document only, not approved by GA)

These Guidelines set a standard for the organization of the COMPETITION at the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI). They have been adopted by the ISC as their part of their operating principles.
