Plagiarism Detection: The Tool And The Case Study

Plagiarism is a problem in many education institutions around the world. Preventing digital plagiarism requires enormous amount of work from educator. In this paper we concentrate on implementation of well known anti-plagiarism algorithm for local and global search for the original source of plagiarized assignment. We first discuss problems in the implementation of existing anti-plagiarism systems, and then describe the open architecture that could be used for plagiarism detection in different kind of assignments from plain text to audio submissions. Finally we present preliminary results on algorithm implementation for processing of 1000+ submissions archive. We hope this paper will add a trend to the discussion of anti-plagiarism systems especially for new types of assignments.
