Competition Integrity Evaluation

The competitions are run in two phases:
a precompetition by Matthew to give fast feedback after submission
and an independent competition by Bhavna Balani.
She chooses different parameters.

The Competition Integrity Evaluator watches the process of the 
competitions and they write programs or initiate the writing
of programs that watch the players that they don't update files
illegally. Use AspectJ to watch the Java players.
