Source code plagiarism detection: The Unix way

The paper describes similarity detection method for language independent source code similarity detection. It is based on idea of maximum reusability of standard Unix filters. This method was implemented and benchmarked with different datasets from real world (students' assignments) and also synthetic datasets (perfect plagiarism experiment). Our method achieved significantly better results than competitors, which are considered as gold standard in plagiarism detection.
