| The participant registration deadline is '''February 2, 2013 23:59 GMT'''. Final system packages must be submitted by '''March 1st, 2013 23:59 GMT'''. |
Participants willing to apply for the competition can send an email (starting from March 1st, 2014) to this [[mailto:aspcomp2014@mat.unical.it|address]] specifying: * the name of their team; * names and affiliation of the team members (institution, research group); * name and number of the systems the team will submit; * please indicate whether a system is an updated version of a solution submitted to the 2013 edition; * specific software requirements: e.g. linux packages/libraries needed to run your system. * language support: e.g. my submission supports normal logic programs and aggregates, it does not support weak constraints and function symbols... and so on. |

| Teams willing to participate in the competition can register via Easychair. The registration procedure is as follows: * go to http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aspcomp2013 * click '''New Submission''' * add all names, email addresses, and affiliations of the team members in the '''Author i''' entries * put the name of their team in the '''Title''' entry; * add a small description of your system to the '''Abstract''' entry; * choose the category: tick '''Model & Solve Track Participant Package''' or '''System Track Participant Package''' if you want to participate in the Model & Solve or in the System track, resp.; * add a few keywords that describe the features of your system; and * tick '''Abstract Only'''. |
Applicants will get a private e-mail with the instructions for submitting systems and login credentials for accessing our Competition server through ssh. |

| Then click on the '''Submit''' button. We will then get in contact with you for the further procedure. |
## The competition will run on a Debian Linux server (64bit kernel) running on Intel Xeon X5365 Processors with 4096KB of cache and 16GB of RAM. ## (please note that 16GB is the total amount of memory available in the hardware but it is not the memory limit used for the competition) |

| == Submission Process (both Competitions) == | ## Your package should at least contain a folder named {{{bin}}}. Your package is expected ## to be run with the same configuration for all the benchmark domains, i.e., ## the package must comprise all files required for running your system on any problem encoding and any problem instance. |
| Line 44: | Line 34: |
| Once you have registered with Easychair, you can upload your system package as ZIP file. | ## {{{##!wiki caution ## You must specify a single fixed software bundle capable ## of accepting problem encodings written in the ASP-Core-2 format. ## }}} |
| Line 46: | Line 39: |
| Further details announced soon. | ## The directory {{{bin}}} must contain an '''executable''' file called {{{run}}}, which will be invoked during the Competition run. ## {{{ ## ## . ## ## ├── bin ## ## │ ├── run ## ## │ ├── mysolver ## ## │ └── my_helper_tool ## ## ├── lib ## ## │ ├── libmysolver.so ## ## │ ├── libmysolver.so.4 ## ## │ ├── libmysolver.so.4.0.1 ## ## . . ## ## . . ## ## . ## }}} ## This file can be a script invoking a binary executable, possibly using other scripts for pre- or post-processing provided in your package. ## Don't forget to make your scripts and binaries executable using {{{chmod 755}}}. ## === Input === ## A problem instance, '''together with an ASP-Core-2''' program, is fed to {{{run}}}'s standard input. The problem instance concatenated ## with the ASP-Core-2 encoding complies with the ASP-Core-2 2.01c [[https://www.mat.unical.it/aspcomp2013/files/ASP-CORE-2.01c.pdf|grammar]]. ## === Command Line === ## {{{run}}} takes '''three''' arguments: ## ## * The first argument ({{{$1}}}, {{{argv[1]}}}, ...) is the maximum integer which is sufficient for solving the input instance ({{{0}}} if not meaningful for the problem/instance at hand). ## ## * The second argument ({{{$2}}}, {{{argv[2]}}}, ...) is the maximum nesting level of function symbols which is sufficient for solving the input instance ({{{0}}} if not meaningful for the problem/instance at hand). ## ## * The third argument ({{{$3}}}, {{{argv[3]}}}, ...) is a comma-separated list of output predicates {{{p1/n1,p2/n2,...}}} with predicate names {{{pi}}} and arities {{{ni}}}. This list specifies which output predicates should be included in the output of the run script. Note that, for avoiding syntactic problem recognition techniques, predicate names might be masked/renamed and might not coincide with output predicate names listed in public problem specifications. ## Of course, the first two arguments can be taken into account or not by submitted scripts at participant's will and necessity (for instance, a system not having particular constraints on termination when function symbols ## are into play, can ignore the second argument). ## The third argument must be explicitly used for filtering and preparing output data such that the checker can verify your solution. ## === Output === ## The output of {{{run}}} must be printed to standard output, and a proper ## exit code must be issued, according to the format specified [[https://www.mat.unical.it/aspcomp2013/files/aspoutput.txt|here]]. ## An example of {{{run}}} script can be found [[https://www.mat.unical.it/aspcomp2013/files/links/aspexec/run|here]] |
