Online Judging Documentation Management System:- Aja, Kingsley C.

ABSTRACT 

Competition judging System a system designed for the reliable evaluation of source code submitted by the users, which is next compiled and tested in a homogeneous environment. During the contest, lasting 5 hours, participants solve from 8 to 13 problems. The winner is the team that first solves the highest number of problems. The key component of this contest environment is a system that automatically verifies the correctness of solutions submitted by participants. It assesses the correctness of the submitted solutions based on the results obtained from their execution on predefined test sets. It also verifies that the solution does not exceed resource utilization limits such as time and memory. I was motivated to embark on this research because of fake judging which may occur, the challenges facing competition judging system, the prevalent (manual) system of competition which is inaccurate and inefficient, manual method which is time consuming, complex problems found during the processing time limit in judging system. The system was achieved by developing a platform for real time online judging documentation management system, build a database structure used to store data of users, create a module for registration of competition, create a module for registration of judges, design a platform that register sponsor, design a platform that capture performance evaluation, design a platform that view competition, create a platform that views judges, create a platform that view sponsor, design a platform that view performance evaluation. This research was realized through the adoption of primary and secondary sources of data collection which includes interview, observation, questionnaire, the internet, journals and the adoption of spiral model. The system is implemented by using Visual Basic.Net and Microsoft Access as the database.
