Anthony Theocharis: Awarded

Anthony Theocharis (computer science and music) won the $2,500 top prize in the BCNET Broadband Innovation Challenge in May. The annual competition honours BC’s best and brightest students for innovative, commercially viable computer applications that utilize super broadband networks. Theorcharis’s project was a music tagging computer application for recording artists, audio engineers and radio stations. It allows users to search by audio tags and peer-to peer networks through massive audio files to find the exact genre of music in their search, instantaneously. Second prize went to Neil Clark (computer science) for his project “CubeScape: A Scalable Approach for 3D Worlds.”
