Submissions
Submissions will be done through the Fire
submission system.
Registering in the system
- The first thing you have to do is to register yourself for the
submission system. Everyone has to do this, it's not once per group.
- Go the the Fire
submission system and click Register here.
- Enter a valid email address, and a mail will be sent to that
address with a link for further registration. This step is only to
avoid dummy registrations with phony email addresses. The email address
you give will be your username.
- Go to the link that you got in the mail. You will come to a
page that will prompt you to enter your personal details.
- Enter your details, and choose a password, then press Register.
You will now be successfully registered with the system.
- The second step is to create and join a group. Note:
Everyone must join a group, even those of you who have gotten
permission to do the assignment alone. Also Note: The group
numbers that you have in the Fire system and the group numbers on your
database accounts have absolutely nothing to do with one another.
- Log in to the system (same link as above) and press the Join
group button.
- If you are the first person in your group to do this
press, Create new group. A new group will be created for you,
and you will be given a password (it will also be sent to your mail).
Give this password to your lab partner, he or she will need it to join
your group.
- If your partner has created a group already, ask him or
her for the group number and the password. Enter these in the fields
under Join existing group and press Join group. You
will be asked if you're sure, which you probably are.
- Now both of you will have joined the group, and can start
using the system for real.
Submitting tasks
To submit a task, you have to
- Log on to the Fire
submission system (it does not matter which one of you is
submitting the solution, as long as both of you have joined the group).
- Upload the files that make up your solution for the concerned
task. See note below on file formats.
- Press Submit to submit your solution. Do not forget
this!
- As soon as your submission has been reviewed (that means either
accepted or rejected) you will receive a mail. You can possibly
download comments to your solution: Therefore you have to log on to the
submission system again and display the files called comment.
- In the case of a rejected solution you will have to upload a
corrected version and submit again.
Preferably submit documents in pdf-format. If you want to submit
several files make a zip-directory of them. Do not hand in generated
files, e.g. Java class files or executables, these will only take up
unnecessary room on the submission server.
