Programming Task Packages: Peach Exchange Format
T Tom Verhoeff · 2008
Abstract. Programming education and contests have introduced software to help evaluation by executing submitted taskwork. We present the notion of a task package as a unit for collecting, storing, archiving, and exchanging all information concerning a programming task. We also de-scribe a specific format for such task packages as used in our system Peach, and illustrate it with an example. Our goal is to stimulate the development of an international standard for packaging of programming tasks. Key words: programming education, programming contest, programming task, task package, grading support software, data format. 1.
