Plagiarism detection system using mobile agents ( PLADMA )

Abstract

Plagiarism or copyright infringement of protected text on the internet is widespread and growing problem. The detection of this kind of plagiarism or infringement by human is time consuming , in this project a survey on different approaches that aimed to solve this problem is to be proposed. Mobile agent (AM) is executing program that migrates during execution and present methods for maintaining and using distributed systems 14. Integrating one of the approaches used in plagiarism or copyright infringement of protected text with mobile agents can be considered as a data mining problem. In this novel approach a design and implementation of a system that makes use of mobile agents that search the internet for text data and compare it to submitted text data that may contain plagiarized text, this approach will increase the efficiency of the detection process , and reduce both time and cost that are presented in other approaches . fault tolerance , and security techniques that enhance the mobile agents navigation mission are applied in this project. The project aims to obtain high degree of accuracy in detecting plagiarized paragraphs throughout the process of detection, and a performance comparison between different techniques of the searching process is proposed in this research.
