This paper presents an approach to automate the preparation, the delivery, 
and the grading a collection of homework assignment as isomorphs.
The approach has been put to a test in a third-year one-semester course on 
data structures and algorithms for computer science majors, with more than 
80 students in the class. Among factors that influenced our approach include 

  (1) the quest for a viable alternative to current methods that rely
      on the Internet service programs such as Moss in dealing with the 
      perceptions of homework plagiarism, and 
      
  (2) the premise that deterring plagiarism will always be more effective
      than detecting it.
      
We report on implementation, features and first-hand experience with a software 
prototype  AutoGradeR  and its components, including automated generation of 
problem isomorphs and a well-defined experimental environment for the students, 
followed by compiling, running, evaluating, and grading  the Java assignments 
submitted by each student.
