| Description | With wide deployment of e-learning methods such as computer-mediated communication between the students and teachers, including papers and essays submission and evaluation, it has become much easier for students to base those works on electronic resources, including the plagiarization of the work of other people. In this paper we will briefly present a system for discovering similarities in a large base of documents, which has been in production use inside the Czech National Archive of Graduate Theses since January 2008. We will then focus on the distributed aspects of such a system, especially on the task of creating and maintaining the index for discovering the similarities on a cluster of commodity computers. |
