Scaling a Plagiarism Search Service on the BonFIRE Testbed

Abstract

The KOPI Online Plagiarism Search Portal - a nationwide plagiarism service in Hungary - is a unique, open service for web users that enables them to check for identical or similar contents between their own documents and the files uploaded by other authors. As our recent result, we can also detect cross-language plagiarism, but with a highly increased computational demand. The paper describes our experiment with the BonFIRE testbed to find a suitable scaling mechanism for translational plagiarism detection in a cloud federation.
