When student programs are compared for similarity as a step in the detection of academic
misconduct, certain segments of code are always sure to be similar but are no cause for …

It is well documented that some students either work together on programming assessments
when required to work individually (collusion) or make unauthorised use of existing code …

When comparing student programs to check for evidence of plagiarism or collusion, the goal
is to identify code segments that are common to two or more programs. Yet some code …

To act with academic integrity in programming, students need to understand the concept of
code similarity and the aspects that contribute to it, because undue similarity is often used as …

When weekly programming assessments are used, it is often the case that some of them are
either trivial or strongly directed. Common code similarity detectors are not particularly …

In response to growing academic dishonesty in undergraduate computer science and
electrical and computer engineering courses, we present Checksims, a similarity detector …

This article presents a proposal for the detection of programming source code similitude in
academic environments. The objective of this proposal is to provide support to professors in …

Code-similarity is the actual indicator of plagiarism in the context of programming
assignments. However, the experiences of practical software development have empirically …

This paper investigates automated code plagiarism detection in the context of an
undergraduate level data structures and algorithms module. We compare three software …

Making correct decisions as to whether code chunks should be considered similar becomes
increasingly important in software design and education and not only can improve the …
