Towards a Clone Detection Benchmark Suite and Results Archive

Source code clones are copies or near-copies of other portions of code, often created by copying and pasting portions of source code. This working session is concerned with building a communal research infrastructure for clone detection. The intention of this working session is to try to build a consensus on how to continue to build a benchmark suite and results archive for clone- and source comparisonrelated research and development. The working session is structured to foster discussion and debates over what should be collected in the archive, and how to make it best to improve clone detection research techniques.
