Mario Konecki, Tihomir Orehovački, Alen Lovrenčić · 2009
Rapid development of industry and economy requires quick and efficient education of large amount of theoretical knowledge and practical skills. In computer science, especially in programming, this trend is very noticeable and real experts are needed and hard to create. But new problem has emerged in higher education and its name is plagiarism. In order to prevent this one would have to check all students program codes to find similarities. To do this efficiently a procedure has been designed upon which a certain prototype was developed and tested. We discuss efficiency of this solution and we also mention some other methods and algorithms. We also discuss some other possible usages of this solution and we mention further actions and steps in our research.
