Short Description of the Study:
Source code plagiarism in laboratories is one of the problems of the professors. There are already existing Java source code comparators; however, there is a trade off between the reliability and the speed of similarity detection. There is also a need for approximation on what grade the student will receive which is driven from the similarity percentage.
<YOU CAN WRITE AS WELL THE PROBLEMS THAT YOU AIM TO SOLVE>
The team decided to enhance Plaggie, an open source software version of Jplag which is the most efficient Java source code comparator according to the related literature that the team had researched on.
There will be two possible approach to the problem. First is combining the algorithm of a fast but less reliable java source code comparator and combining Plaggie’s algorithm. Second is formulating a new algorithm with the use of tokenizing and other methods to balance or
