Abstract
Authorship analysis on computer software is a difficult problem. In this paper we explore the classification of programmers' style, and try to find a set of characteristics
that remain constant for a significant portion of the programs that this programmer might produce. Our goal is to show that it is possible to identify the author of a
program by examining programming style characteristics. Within a closed environment the results of this paper support the conclustion that, for a specific set of
programmers, it is possible to identify the author of any individual program. Also, based on previous work and our observations during the experiments described herein
we believe that the probablity of finding two programmers who share exactly those characteristics should be very small.
