What is Mooshak: a Web‐based multi‐site programming contest system about?
## Abstract This paper presents a new Web‐based system, Mooshak, to handle programming contests. The system acts as a full contest manager as well as an automatic judge for programming contests. Mooshak innovates in a number of aspects: it has a scalable architecture that can be used from small single server contests to complex multi‐site contests with simultaneous public online contests and redundancy; it has a robust data management system favoring simple procedures for storing, replicating, backing up data and failure recovery using persistent objects; it has automatic judging capabilities to assist human judges in the evaluation of programs; it has built‐in safety measures to prevent users from interfering with the normal progress of contests. Mooshak is an open system implemented on the Linux operating system using the Apache HTTP server and the Tcl scripting language. This paper starts by describing the main features of the system and its architecture with reference to the automated judging, data management based on the replication of persistent objects over a network. Finally, we describe our experience using this system for managing two official programming contests. Copyri
