Manuscripts

Two-page demo paper "Plaggie: GNU-licensed Source Code Plagiarism Detection Engine for Java Exercises" was accepted to Koli Calling conference that was held November 9-12, 2006. The proceedings are are available at http://www.it.uu.se/research/group/upcerg/Publications/proceedingsKoliCalling2006.

Installation

Plaggie has been tested only in Unix and Linux, not in Windows. The installation instructions are written only for Unix. Installation in Windows should be possible but is probably more difficult.

It is assumed that a person installing Plaggie is familiar with Java (compiling, class path etc.) because Plaggie is purposed for Java exercises.

The installation instructions can be found from Section 5 of the file README_PLAGGIE. README_PLAGGIE is part of the package plaggie.tar.gz that should be downloaded, uncompressed, and extracted. Common Unix tools gunzip and tar can be used for uncompressing and extracting. It is assumed that a person installing Plaggie knows at least the basics of Unix.
