Title: Comparing program plagiarism detection tools

Abstract

In this talk I will discuss the results of the comparison of several tools for detecting plagiarism in Java source code texts. (Including Marble, developed by Jurriaan Hage, and currently in use at our department) I have compared the tools based on the features that they support, and how they support them. To compare their performance, I have applied the tools to all incarnations of a 1st year's programming assignment, and a set of intentionally plagiarized programs.
