# If you are submitting on behalf of a team you will need to make sure that the identity for each team member is associated with your submission. Your first job is to find out if they have already created identities in the system by using the search tool. If they have, simply click on the identity to add them. If you cannot find an identity for one or more of your colleagues, you will need to create a "temporary" identity for them. Do your best to create a temporary identity for them by entering as a much information as possible about your team members. Temporary identities are not as permanent as the normal identities. Your colleague for whom you have created an identity can create an account on the system and "reclaim" or "take ownership" of their temporary identity to make sure the information is accurate and complete: When they go to "Manage Identities" there is a box at the top that will show them existing profiles which are similar to their email address and/or username. "Similar" means: user with email mjones2@gmail.com would match profiles with email mjones2@gmail.com or mjones2@illinois.edu, AND user with username mjones2 would match profiles with email mjones2@<fill in the blank>. To make this "reclamation" process go smoothly, it is helpful to use the email address that your colleague would normally use.

Some Reminders

  • Be sure to read through the rest of this page
  • Be sure to read though the task pages for which you are submitting
  • Be sure to follow the Best Coding Practices for MIREX

Important Things to Note

  1. NOTA BENE: We are REQUIRING that EACH person involved in a MIREX 2010 submission create an identity for themselves on the submission system. Identities are important to us as they help us better manage the submissions. Even if a collague of yours is going to do the actual submitting, you still need to create an identity for yourself in the system
  2. When you, as the submitter, create your personal identity in the system, review your input carefully for errors! Once your personal identity is created and the "submit" button is pressed, it is not possible for you to edit your identity information.
  3. If you are submitting on behalf of a team you will need to make sure that the identity for each team member is associated with your submission. Your first job is to find out if they have already created identities in the system by using the search tool. If they have, simply click on the identity to add them.
  4. If you cannot find an identity for one or more of your colleagues, the best way to proceed is get them to create an identity for themselves on the system. This way, they are responsible for the accuracy of their information.
  5. If your colleague, for some reason, cannot

you might need to create an identity for them. Do your best to create as accurate an identity for them.

  1. If you plan to submit more than one algorithm or algorithm variant to a given task, EACH algorithm or variant needs its own complete submission to be made including the README and binary bundle upload. Each will be given its own unique identifier. Tell us in the README the priority of a given algorithm in case we have to limit a task to only one or two algorithms/variants per submitter/team.
