CPE/CSC 480Artificial IntelligenceFall 2006 Assignment Submission

Submission Procedure

In general, I expect programming assignments to be submitted through the handin program on falcon. For the AI classes (480, 481, 580), please use the grade480 account, i.e. handin grade480. You can find further information about handin on Phil Nico's Web page at http://www.csc.calpoly.edu/~pnico/class/w04/cpeX317/submit.html. A the end of this document is a trace of a handin sample session. handin only works from falcon accounts, so you need to have an active account on falcon or hornet. Make sure that your account is working!

Formats

If your assignment consists of several files, put them in an archive file (e.g. via zip, gzip, tar). Please use only .zip, .gz and .tar formats for archiving the files.

Material to be Submitted

Depending on the type of the assignment, you need to submit the following material:

• written assignments (e.g. essays, questions, calculations)
  1. text document with the questions and your answers
• programming assignments
  1. a README file (in plain ASCII text, named "README") with
     • your name
     • a short description of what your program is supposed to do
     • its main components (files, classes, methods, libraries/packages used)
     • instructions on how to install and run your program
     • the setup you're using (e.g. CLIPS 6.10, Jess)
     • possibly some example data used to test your program.
  2. all the files containing source code for your program
  3. files with additional information, e.g. configuration parameters or data sets
  4. files containing the input parameters and the output produced for test runs

Acknowledgement of Receipt

The handin script confirms the submission of an assignment, and lists the files that you have submitted so far. It records the time when your material is submitted, and has an option to cut off submissions at a certain deadline.

handin Sample Session

Here is an example of a handin session. First go to the directory that contains the material you want to submit. If you have many files, you can put them into an archive first ( such as .zip, .tar, .gz). With handin grade480 I get a list of available subdirectories, and handin grade480 test lists the contents of the subdirectory test , which is empty. With handin grade480 test test.zip I'm submitting that file. If you submit the same file again the old version is overwritten; this is useful if you want to resubmit your assignment. And by issuing handin grade480 testagain, I'm verifying that the latest version of the file is in the directory.
