Bulgarian platform for competitions in informatics
Keywords:
computer science competitions, assessment systems, archives with computer science competition problemsAbstract
A software platform for supporting competitions in informatics is presented. The platform is currently under development by the authors. Two main components are highlighted: a grading system for evaluating competitors’ submissions and a system for archiving competition tasks with the grading ability for checking the received solutions for training purposes online. The status of similar systems worldwide is described and requirements they are expected to meet are specified.
