System Architecture
After discussing the new plagiarism detection algorithm, we focus on the
descriptions on the integrated assessment system. The overall architecture of the
system is shown in Figure 4.
The workflow of the system is as follows:
1. The Course Coordinator (CC) can upload assignment questions, sample
programs and sets up marking criteria.
2. Students can submit assignment files through World Wide Web.
3. Students will receive instant feedback about program quality and submission
rate.
4. The system helps tutor detect plagiarism and test programs automatically.
5. Tutors can type in their comments and suggestions into program files
directly.
6. Tutors can mark the assignments according to marking criteria determined
by the CC.
7. Students will receive marks, comments and suggestions provided by tutors
via the web.
8. The CC and tutors can refer to various assignment statistics on the web.
