Automatic Grading of Programming Assignments: Proposal and Validation of an Architecture

Description: Automatic grading of programming assignments is an important topic in academic research. It aims at improving students? programming skills and optimizing the time of teaching staff. Universidad Polit?cnica de Madrid is interested in this research field and is currently working on the project ?System of Evaluation Automatic of Practices of programming ?, which aims to build a tool to support this kind of grading. Several academic institutions have been interested in this research field as well. They have reported their works, which include the implementation and deployment of these kinds of tools. But, in spite of the big quantity of work carried out in this field, there are still problems to be solved. One important gap is related to the diversity of criteria to grade programming assignments.
