Policy for updates to the ARIAC software

When changes that will affect participants' code are introduced, the ARIAC updates page will list the change.

During the Finals

  • The final version of the ARIAC software will be released in advance of the competition Finals so that participants can test their code against that version of the software.
  • Changes will not be released into the software after it has been declared 'final', so that teams can test with the exact version used during the Finals.

During the Qualifier

  • So as not to impact ARIAC participants while a qualification task is open for submissions, breaking changes will only be released into the ARIAC software once qualification has closed.

  • However, bug fixes/behavioral corrections may be released into ARIAC software during the period that a qualification task is open for submissions.

  • Emails will be sent to participants when new updates are made available.

Policy for updates to the ARIAC rules

  • Updates may be made to the rules/scoring metrics at any time throughout the Qualifier at the discretion of the competition controllers.
  • This includes the available sensors/costs, the permitted competition interface, submission requirements, and scoring parameters.
  • Where possible advanced notice of these changes is listed on the updates page. The final rules/scoring metrics will be confirmed to teams in advance of the competition Finals.
